The correct answer is Parents pass their physical traits to their offspring; those offspring with traits that help them survive in their environment are able to reproduce.

Explanation:

The modern theory of evolution explains the mechanisms that make organisms change. One of the main ideas this theory proposes is that organisms with traits that help them survive or reproduce have higher chances to pass their genes and traits to new generations. This mechanism makes certain traits to be favored and contributes to the evolution of organisms because after multiple generations certain traits will prevail while others will be eliminated.

Moreover, this theory specifies genes in an organism are not acquired or modified during its life but these are the results of the traits passed to the organism by its parents and evolution occurs only after a long time or multiple generations. According to this, the first option is the correct one.

Nerve cells are the only cells with a resting membrane potential. (a) True (b) False

romanna [79]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The membrane potential may be defined as the difference in the electric potential of the cell between the outside and inside environment. The unequal distribution of ions is responsible for membrane potential.

Different cells that carries the resting membrane potential are nerve cell, muscles cell and many more. The resting membrane potential of nerve cell is -70mV.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

What is osmosis? Please help me

KIM [24]

First off, we need to understand that osmosis is typically used with the example of water---
To understand that, osmosis is taking water from a high concentration to a low concentration to make the membrane equal to one another .
Imagine you have a pea, and the pea is about to explode of water. And you have another pea that's shriveled up. You would take some of the exploding water's pea into the shriveled one, therefore making it equal. (Thats my example I like to use!)
I hope this helped!

Two organisms have analogous structures. A student concluded that these organisms must have a common ancestor is the student cor

arsen [322]

Answer:

The student is wrong, just because the analogous structures of any two organism may have the same structure or even have the some relation between there way of operation or functions.

Explanation:

Analogous Structures:

As the similarity between two or more different organisms structure or any organ does not means that they have same ancestors or have the common origin from which the evolve into two different species. Now analogous structures are very much similar in there structure physically, but two different organisms may use them for the same function, which is astonishing to see or observe in way different species.

For example:

As the structure of the flipper of a Dolphin has similarity with the phalanges of a human being and with the wings of the bat. As all of them functions for the basic need of movement or locomotion from one point to another. While, all the three species are very much different in there features and are not the same obviously.
