Answer:

d. All of the above exemplify the difference between a population and an individual.

Explanation:

A population is a group of individuals of the same species that live in a particular geographical area and are able to interbreed. A population is described with respect to several features such as death and birth rates, age structure, density, dispersion, change in the population size due to density-dependent and density-independent factors and the survivorship curve.

These features are not exhibited by a particular individual. Natural selection also works at populations. The evolutionary forces act upon populations to change their allele and genotype frequencies. Therefore, populations are the unit of evolution and change genetically over time, not the individuals. Population ecology studies the size of a populations and the trends and causes of changes in the populations over time.

Son músculos antagonistas (unos realizan flexión y otros extensión) los siguientes: * 5 puntos Trapecio- deltoides Bíceps- tríce

Lena [83]

Answer:

Bíceps- tríceps

Explanation:

Los músculos trabajan para generar movimiento mediante la contracción de células musculares. El bíceps y el tríceps son músculos antagonistas presentes en el brazo. Cuando el brazo se acorta, el bíceps funciona como agonista (es decir, se contrae) y hace que los tendones que tiran de los huesos del antebrazo puedan doblarlo. Durante este movimento, el triceps funciona como antagonista, encontrándose en estado de relajamiento. Por otra parte, durante el estiramiento del brazo, las funciones de estos músculos se invierten, con lo cual el tríceps (agonista) se contrae y el bíceps (antagonista) se relaja.
