I believe this adaptation of the blue poppies to their environment is due to directional selection.  Directional selection refers to the mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes, causing the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of the favored phenotype. In our case the plants with the thickest leaves were favored as they were more adaptable and in the end there was a shift to this characteristic by other plants.

Under a microscope, the cells of mushrooms, plants, and animals all have visible nuclei. this makes them all:
zalisa [80]

Answer: The correct answer is -

Eukaryotes.

Eukaryotes are the organisms that possess a true nucleus (containing the DNA, which is the genetic material) and the membrane bound subcellular compartments ( also known as cell organelles) such as golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria.

As per the given information in the question, cells of mushrooms, plants, and animals all have visible nuclei under a microscope.

Thus, it indicates that these organisms are eukaryotes.

Answer the questions plz
exis [7]

Answer:

1) A double Helix with complementary bases in the middle. The backbone is made of sugar and phosphates. The middle is bases

2) To hold the genetic info for the cell

3) To bring the genetic info from the nucleus to the ribosomes as DNA can't leave the nucleus

4) To bring amino acids to the ribosomes to help build a protein

5) A chain of amino acids held together by peptide bonds

6) Ribosomes

7) Because those are the bases that are complementary in DNA so they must be equal

8) It could lead to a mutation as it would cause the mRNA to code for a different amino acid and thus a different protein will be made

9) DNA is the blueprint for mRNA which will travel to the ribosomes and code for specific amino acids which will eventually build a protein

Which structure is labeled X in the diagram below?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Diagram is attached.

Capsid protein is a form of structural protein which usually forms part of a complex which later produces protective shell around the nucleic acid in a virus. It is also referred to as coat protein or head protein.  

Capsid acts as a distinguishing feature for identifying an integrated viral genome, plasmids and other genetic material of viruses. In fact, viruses are termed as organisms that encode capsid proteins.  

Hence, option D is correct

HELP ASAP WILL MARK BRIANLIEST!!! What are the differences between global and local winds?
KatRina [158]

Answer: Good examples of local winds are sea breezes and land breezes, and mountain and valley breezes. Local winds cover very short distances. Global winds are really large air masses that are created mainly as a result of the earth's rotation, the shape of the earth and the sun's heating power.
