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.

Edwin Hubble used the Doppler effect to determine that the universe is expanding. After years of scientific research and observation of different celestial bodies through a telescope, Hubble found that the light from distant galaxies was shifted towards the red end of the spectrum. This red shift indicates that stars are moving away from us and from each other. This phenomenon is called the 'expansion of the universe', also known as the big band theory.

If 70% of the hypothetical population passed along allele B, the dominant allele for brown eyes, and 30% passed along allele b,
Annette [7]

Answer:

C) 91%

Explanation:

First,

Express the Dominant phenotype as homozygous dominant(BB) and heterozygous(Bb).

Based on hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

homozygous dominant (BB) Brown eye individuals will have the following percentage

B × B

(Where B = 70%)

70% × 70%

= 49%

heterozygous dominant (Bb) Brown eye individuals will have the following percentage

Using 2 × B × b (where B =70% and b = 30%)

2 × 70% × 30%

= 42%

The proportion of the subsequent generation with brown eyes

(homozygous dominant, BB + heterozygous dominant, Bb)

= 49% + 42%

= 91%

Think about how the geologic time scale was created and how it is divided. Then answer the following questions.
katovenus [111]
The geologist time scale was formed when scientists studied rock layers and index fossils worldwide. With this information, they placed Earth's rocks in order by relative age. Later, radioactive dating helped determine the exact age of the divisons in the geologic time scale.

This scale is organized by the 4.6 billion years of earth's history into sections based on important changes seen in the geologic record. The largest intervals are called eons, with each eon containing many millions of years.

In precambarian time the processes that affect Earth's surface have lessened the erosion on the surface. Earth was being hit by meteorites every second. Now there is water erosion and there wasn't back then. The surface changes have lessened over time.

How would you use the foot-in-the-door phenomenon to get your friend to lend you her car for the night?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

this is just an example: 1. ask friend to borrow keys to get something from car. 2. ask to borrow car itself to take thing home. 3. explain it's going to take a while to drive car home and back so might as well just borrow car for the night.

Explanation:

foot in the door phenomenon is asking for something small and gradually building up to a larger request. most people are hesitant if you ask for something big right off the bat, but are more likely to accept bigger requests if they've accepted a smaller request and are eased into the larger one.
