In the 9th century, it was suggested that when organisms change, they are adapting to survive.
Lamarck, was the researcher that created the theory of acquired characteristics.
Malthus first proposed the idea that overpopulation <span>contributed to the lack of resources and interfered with survival, but he applied this to only humans, Darwin was the first to apply this to all organisms.</span>
Answer:
e. horizontal transfer of genes from a marine bacterium
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material from one independent mature bacterium to another and creates new gene combinations in the recipient bacterium. It mostly occurs between the bacterial of different species and is responsible for the spread of new genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance, digestion of specific substances, virulence, etc.
Transfer of genetic material from the donor to host bacteria can occur in three ways: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. According to the given information, marine Bacteroidetes have enzymes required to digest porphyran and agarose. <em>B. plebeius</em> might have acquired the genes for these enzymes from marine Bacteroidetes by horizontal gene transfer. This resulted in its ability to digest the marine seaweed while its close relative species cannot do so.
The artery that supplies the chin and jaw region of the head with blood is the
facial artery which is a branch of the external carotid artery. All blood from the head arises from the common carotid artery wherein it is divided to internal carotid artery (major blood supply of the brain along with the basilar artery on the posterior side) and external carotid artery (major blood supply of the head other than the brain).
The external carotid artery has 8 major branches (from inferior to superior): (1) superior thyroid artery, (2) ascending pharyngeal artery, (3) lingual artery, (4) facial artery, (5) occipital artery, (6) posterior auricular artery, (7) maxillary artery, and (6) superficial temporal artery.
Attached is a simplified photo of the branches of the external carotid artery.
Answer:
natural selection I guess
The surface area of a sphere can be approximated as follows: Surface area = 4πr2; where r is the radius of the sphere; π is a constant that is roughly equal to 3.
