A few years after a major oil spill, which area is most fragile in terms of biodiversity?

Biology
1 answer:
Juli2301 [7.4K]2 years ago
5 0

The answer is middle water. After a spill, the oil first affects the open waters where the oil first accumulates. After some years, the oil gets broken down into small particles by oil-eating bacteria and become dissolved in water. They accumulate in the middle oceans and affect biodiversity of this region.

What is the correct order of sedimentary rock formation?
Talja [164]
Sedimentary rocks are the product of 1) weathering of preexisting rocks, 2) transport of the weathering products, 3) deposition of the material, followed by 4) compaction, and 5) cementation of the sediment to form a rock. The latter two steps are called lithification.

(1) What is the most common way for a dead organism to avoid decomposition?
viktelen [127]

Answer:(i)The most common way for a dead organism to avoid decomposition: The body could be buried in a sandstorm.

(ii)Dry and barren places have high erosion that reveals fossils. Dry and barren places are comfortable for heavy phyiscal labor.

(iii)Radiometric dating methods

(iv)In a quadrupedal pelvis, the ilium lies lateral to and parallel to the vertebral column and the ischium extends dorsally. ... In a bipedal pelvis, the ilium is shorter, wider and expanded front-to-back. Where the ilium articulates with the sacrum is wider, providing greater stability and support.

(v)Lucy has a more humanoid pelvis because she was a hominin.

Explanation:

Hope it helps :)

9. A

10. A

11. C

12. D

Explanation:

8. Natural selection works on variation that exists in the genes of organisms. Antelopes who have genetic variation that makes their legs more muscular are at an advantage because they can outrun predators. This increases the chance that they will reach reproductive age, and be able to pass this advantageous trait onto their offspring. Over time, this selection pressure makes the variant more common in a population.

9. Beneficial traits are those that give a selective advantage. This could be one that helps it outrun predators (like above), avoid illness and death, gives it a reproductive advantage (i.e. more attractive to mates), or makes it better able to digest certain foods, for example. The formation of cancer cells would be harmful for an organism, reducing its fitness and perhaps leading to death. The inability to reproduce would mean genetic info is not passed on to the next generation, and stopping the production of an essential protein would likely lead to death. However, resistance to a virus would help an organism avoid illness and death, improving fitness.

10. Genotypes are what organisms inherit from their parents, i.e. the genetic information that is passed on. However, the way in which different alleles interact and are expressed is the phenotype. If we take the above example, natural selection is acting on the phenotype of muscular legs. If an antelope had the muscular leg genotype but for some reason it was not being expressed (maybe another gene is interfering with it), then the antelope would not have a selective advantage, and natural selection could not be act on the trait.

11. A trait that better suits an organism to its environment will be selected for by natural selection. This is because that organism is more likely to survive due to the trait, giving it a selective advantage. Therefore, if a mutation arose making the giraffe more adapted to the environment, it would be positively selected for, and through evolution would become more common.

12. This is an example of selective breeding, which has been happening for generations. Farmers spot desirable traits, and cross horses with these traits in an attempt to enhance the trait or to ensure it is passed on to the next generation. This is not natural selection, because farmers are making it happen artificially. It is not cloning or recombinant DNA, which are terms scientists use for actually manipulating the DNA in the lab.
