I believe it is the retina that changes shape to focus on distant objects.
Answer:
31%
Explanation:
Chargaff's law says the amount of A (adenine) = T (thymine) and G (guanine) = C (cytosine). If
G = 19% then C= 19%
19% + 19% = 38%
100% - 38% = 62%
62% for A and T
Divide by 2 and you get
31%
Answer:
Peristalsis is the involuntary movement of the muscles that move food through the digestive system.
Explanation:
- Peristalsis is a reflex response.
- It is initiated when the gut wall is stretched by the contents of the lumen.
- Peristalsis occurs in all parts of the gastrointestinal tract from esophagus to the rectum.
- It actually refers to the ringlike contraction of the circular smooth muscle that move progressively forward pushing the bolus.
- It involves coordinated contraction and relaxation above and below the food bolus so that the bolus is pushed forward instead of being pushed back.
<span>The correct answer, according to Lamarck's theory of evolution, is that A) "Land mammals progressively modified their organs to survive in water. These features were passed on to the next generation, and the mammal gradually evolved into today's aquatic mammals."
Lamarck believed that animals could (a) acquire the traits that they needed and (b) pass those acquired traits on to their offspring. According to part (a) of Lamarck's idea, if I needed to be a faster swimmer (if I were an athlete), I could modify my body to have webbing between my toes, which would allow me to beat the competition! Also, according to part (b) of Lamarck's idea, if I were a body builder and developed (acquired) very large muscles through my training, then my children should be born with very large muscles. Based on the these examples, you can see why Lamarck's theory of evolution is not the one that is generally accepted by scientists. Rather, Darwin's theory of evolution, in which the traits that we are born with confer either an advantage or disadvantage to us in our particular environment, which determine whether or not we are successful (ie, survive and reproduce). New traits come about randomly by mutation, not by our need for them.</span>
