Answer:

B.) Over million of years, the eyes of cave salamanders lose their function is an example of adaptation  

Explanation:

Adaptation is an evolutionary process. Under this process an animal or plant evolves to become suitable to  live in a particular habitat. The organism undergoes many changes through natural selection, such changes takes place over generations. Although scientists were discussing adaptation before 1800s, it came to limelight only after the development of theory of natural selection by Alfred Russel and Charles Darwin.

Adaption can be of three types: Behavioral, Physiological and Structural

  • Structural: changes in their body parts to better suit their environment. It is visible from outside e.g Desert foxes have long ears to radiate heat.  
  • Physiological: These are the changes in the functioning of th organisms body organ, it is no visible from outside.  
  • Behavioral: It includes changes in the behavior as per the need of the environment.  Ex. Migration of birds to warmer winter climates and hibernation of beer to escape cold.

Devise an experiment to test the hypothesis that bright orange coloration in butterflies acts as a "warning" to potential
Murrr4er [49]

Answer and Explanation:

As I don't have access to live butterflies, the control group would be clay models that do not exhibit warning coloration, e.g. beige / white / brown. In contrast, the experimental group would be the clay models that exhibir a strong warning coloration such as color orange / red.

After preparing the clay 'prey', I would locate them in specific places outside where birds are able to detect them. Moreover, I would use a webcam to monitor the recurrence of birds in the area.

1st experiment: Test whether birds approach the prey that exhibits both warning coloration (experimental group) and dull coloration (control group). Then, record the minutes they spent wandering near the prey.

2nd experiment: Test wheter birds feed on the prey that exhibits both warning coloration (experimental group) and dull coloration (control group). Record time.

Carry out statistical analyses.

Present results and discuss.

What causes the different time zones?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The need for continental time zones stemmed directly from the problems of moving passengers and freight over the thousands of miles of rail line that covered North America by the 1880s. Since human beings had first begun keeping track of time, they set their clocks to the local movement of the sun.
