The answer to your question is D) punctuated equilibrium.

The theory of Punctuated Equilibrium states that extremes in the environment cause sudden evolution; a long period of time precedes the sudden evolutionary changes.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Punctuated Equilibrium

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>According to the theory of punctuated equilibrium organisms are in stasis until a major change causes evolutionary pressures, which will result in a rapid burst of speciation until the stasis is reached again.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Based on this theory, when species occur in a fossil record, then the population will become stable, thus showing little evolutionary change for the geological history.</u></em>
  • <em><u>In this case, based on the theory of punctuated equilibrium all of the oak species in Georgia appeared suddenly from one common ancestor, over a short period of time, due to some extreme environmental changes, and that since that time, they have not changed much.</u></em>

Read the procedure. What is the purpose of the bicarbonate that is dissolved in the water?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Through this experiment we study the process of photosynthesis.

• In the begining the leaf disks's tissue has oxygen, this allows them to float.

• Then, in the experiment we infiltrate the leaf disks with a solution that has bicarbonate, and as a result their density changes (it increases) and so the leaf disks sink.

• Once the disks are on the bottom and we direct the light to them the process of photosynthesis starts, being the bicarbonate the source of carbon for the process.

• As we know a product of the photosynthesis proces is oxygen, so when it is released into the leaf disks the overall density changes again and the disks rise.

So as we can see, in this experiment the purpose of the bicarbonate is being the source of carbon for the process of photosynthesis that occurs in the leaf disks.

Melting glaciers in Alaska leave open land which will go through primary succession. What conditions would most likely be presen
PIT_PIT [208]
The condition that is most likely to be present in the region left by the melting glaciers in Alaska is that algae and fungi growing on bare rock. This is because environment in primary succession is essentially deprived of vegetation and several kinds of organisms. Thus, plants are unable to grow since the soil lacks nutrients.
