Answer:

It point outs  the magnetic poles of the magnetic field by aligning itself

Explanation:

The needle of the compass is a small magnet with a north and south magnetic poles. Now when compass is placed in a magnetic field , its needle will try to align itself in a way such that magnetic poles of the needle points the respective opposite pole of the magnetic field.

Therefore , the alignment of magnetic needle of compass shows the following -

a) North of the magnetic needle of compass - shows the south pole of the magnetic field

b) South of the magnetic needle of compass - shows the North pole of the magnetic field

Through what blood vessel is blood flow the slowest and why is this beneficial?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Capillaries. Slower speed enables more time for oxygen, nutrient, and waste transfer to occur at the level of the tissues.

Explanation:

This is a physical property of the circulatory system. Capillaries collectively have the highest cross-sectional area, and therefore have the lowest flow rate (by Poiseuille's Law).

Discuss the influence that population size can have on
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene, it does not evolve and allelic frequencies will remain the same for generations.

There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: there is no mutation, the mating is random, there is no gene flow, the population size is infinite and there is no selection.

If the assumptions are not met for a gene, the population can evolve for that gene (that is, the allelic frequencies of that gene may change).

The mechanisms of evolution are violations of the different Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: mutation, non-random mating, genetic flow, finite population size (gene drift) and natural selection.
