Answer: 2 - The nucleus of an atom is split apart

Explanation: Any reaction involving the nucleus of an atom is called a nuclear reaction. It is different from ordinary chemical reactions that involve electrons because it involves the release of large amount of energy. Nuclear reactions can be classified as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

A nuclear reaction in which a nucleus of an atom is split into two smaller atoms with a release of large amount of energy is called nuclear fission. A nuclear reaction that involves the combination of lighter nuclei of elements to form heavier atoms that are more stable with the release of a large quantity of energy is called nuclear fusion.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

1. The adaptation of the garter snake to the increasing toxicity of the rough-skin newt

2. The development of antibiotic-resistance by the tuberculosis bacteria in prisoners in Russian prisons

3. The development of FIV-resistance in wildcats

4. The immunity to HIV in about 10% of caucasians due to mutations in their cells that occured among those who survived the Black Death.

5. The development of immunity to asthma in children exposed to livestock at an early age in Bavaria

Explanation:

Coevolution refers to the the evolution that occurs in two species of organisms due to the mutual interaction or interdependence of the two species. Due to this interaction among species, a change in one organism results in adaptive changes in the other organism as well.

Coevolution can occur is any of these relationships between organisms: predator-prey, mutualism, or commensalism.

In the movie, Evolutionary arms race, the following examples of coevolution were highlighted:

1. The adaptation of the garter snake to the increasing toxicity of the rough-skin newt.

2. The development of antibiotic-resistance by the tuberculosis bacteria in prisoners in Russian prisons.

3. The development of FIV-resistance in wildcats.

4. The immunity to HIV in about 10% of caucasians due to mutations in their cells that occured among those who survived the Black Death.

5. The development of immunity to asthma in children exposed to livestock at an early age in Bavaria.
