Answer:
Lamarck:
The inheritable traits of species may change over time.
Malthus:
In every species in nature, some individuals survive while may others die.
Hutton, Lyell:
The environment of organisms may change over time.
Explanation:
Darwin's revolutionary ideas were influenced by a number of scientists and thinkers of the time:
Jean Baptiste Lamarck:
A botanist and zoologist, Lamarck, for, the first time, proposed the idea of evolutionary changes or adaptations in organisms in response to changes in the environment. He introduced the concept of inheritance of acquired characters.
Thomas Malthus:
Thomas Malthus was not a biologist, but an economist who proposed the ideas that at the rate of the current population growth, human population would eventually suffer from famine and starvation.This would lead to the deaths of the weakest of the population. This idea inspired Darwin to formulate the idea of "the survival of the fittest".
Charles Lyell and James Hutton:
Charles Lyell and James Hutton were famous geologists who greatly influenced Darwin with their theories about the beginning and evolution of the Earth. Charles Lyell proposed that the present state of the Earth was a result of small, gradual changes. James Hutton theorized that the processes that too place at the beginning of the Earth were still in progress.
Lyell and Hutton's work paved the way for the formulation of the theory of natural selection.
<u>ANSWER:</u>
Ogallala aquifer supplies "one-third of the irrigation water" in the United States.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- The "Ogallala aquifer" is located in the "Great Plains of the United States" and therefore gives life to almost all fields of the US.
- The aquifer supplies water for one-third irrigation needs of the United States. The Ogallala is an underground reservoir and is very big in size and the agriculture production in the US is dependent on this aquifer.
- The aquifer is however depleting and water level in many areas has become very low.
- It is important for United States to protect and preserve this aquifer so that the agricultural production does not suffer.
Answer:
a. different alleles of the seed shape gene.
Explanation:
Mendel crossed different varieties of pea plants and he observed how phenotypic traits passed to the progeny. From these experiments, Mendel formulated the 'First Law of Segregation', where he observed that traits may exist in pairs that segregate (separate) at meiosis. During meiosis, i.e., gamete formation, these two factors separate from each other, thereby each gamete has the same probability of receiving either factor. Nowadays, we know that these two factors represent two different gene variants or 'alleles' for a given gene <em>locus</em>. Alleles can be classified into dominant or recessive as in the example above described, where the R factor (round) dominates on the r factor (wrinkled) to determine the seed shape.
A. Alleles lineup independently of the other alleles

Answer:
A- Sensory Neuron
B- Spinal cord
C- Effector neuron
D - Brain
Explanation:
- Sensory neuron: Its main function is to allow the reception of stimuli that are transformed into nervous impulses and electrical signals, capable of realizing sensations, such as a peliscão, for example. These impulses are transmitted to the spinal cord.
- Spinal cord: The main function is to support the body in an upright and vertical position. It also has the function of transmitting electrical signals and nerve impulses between some parts of the body and the brain.
- Effector neuron: Its main function is to receive muscle stimuli capable of creating muscle contractions. These neurons are located in the spinal cord.
- Brain: the processing center receives all the stimuli sent by the bone marrow. Its main function, in this case, is to produce bodily responses to the stimuli it has received, producing muscle movement.
