Answer:

One of Darwin's infamous lines of evidence regarding evolution is biogeographical evidence. Biogeographical, when broken down basically means how the biology (bio in biogeography) of organisms on Earth (geo in biogeography) migrated and moved across from their original place. Darwin used this as a line of evidence because he studied the movement or migration of certain species to gain an understanding on the changes within the environment, which due to natural selection, would eventually alter the species' traits. An example of biogeography would be fossils, and how there were different species on different parts of the world as well as species that went extinct due to environmental changes.

Darwin's second line of evidence for the theory of evolution would be adding onto biogeography in a sense where it, in and of itself, would be considered evidence regarding changes. Fossils are preserved or saved remains or skeletons of a used-to-be living organism. Fossils are a great way not only to track changes but also to discover possible new species that might not have been alive during Darwin's days. By carefully examining the evidence and information a single or numerous fossil gives Darwin, he could clearly, depending on the clarity and amount of remain within the fossil, see changes in bone structure.

Darwin's last line of evidence for the theory of evolution is anatomical evidence. Anatomical evidence is build upon the findings of fossils and comparing them to species that are alive today. Anatomical evidence allows common ancestry to be identified by looking and comparing similar traits to a pre-existing   organism to one today. One can also find the differences between the two organisms that are being compared to see if there is a relationship at all.

<h3>Transitional fossils</h3>

Transitional fossils are any fossilized remains of a life form which show common traits to both an ancestral group and its derived descendant group.

<em> Australopithecus afarensis </em>is a hominid that represents an evolutionary transition between modern bipedal humans and their quadrupedal ape ancestors.

Similarities in DNA

All species in the world share some amount of DNA. Species that are more related to each other share bigger amount of DNA than species that are less related. For example fruit fly and modern humans share 61% of their genome and chimps and humans share 96%.

Evolution of the eye

The PAX6 gene controls where eyes develop in animals ranging from fruit flies, octopuses, to mice and humans.

What happens when nutrient levels become too concentrated in rivers, lakes, and oceans?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Eutrophication is what happens when nutrient levels become too concentrated in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Eutrophication is when the levels of nutrients and minerals in a body of water become too concentrated. It is usually induced by the release of nitrate or phosphate-containing substances into a water body.

What types of specimens were you able to view under each of the microscopes in the microscope activity? How did the specimen vie
Lana71 [14]

Under the dissecting microscope I was able to view the surfaces of specimens such as a feather, insect, and leaf.

Under the compound microscope I was able to view a leaf, blood, and algae. I was able to observe the surface of the specimens in greater detail then I was able to view the surfaces under the dissecting microscope. For an example under the compound light microscope I was able to view the leaves surface which contained multiple lines that intertwined into each other and rectangular chambers of green dots. But under the dissecting microscope I was only able to view the surface of the leaf which consisted of thin white cracks in the leaf.

Under the scanning electron I was able to view the internal structure of the following specimens: a leaf, blood, and algae.  

Under the transmission electron I was able to view a more in depth internal structure of the following specimens:a leaf, blood, and algae. I was able to observe the intern

al structures of the specimens in greater detail then I was able to view the internal structures under the scanning microscope. For an example under the TEM I was able to study the internal structure of a leaf which consisted of long thick and thin black and gray lines coated with black rectangles and tiny dots littering he perimeter of what looks to be the internal structure of the leaf. But with the SEM I was only able to view the first layer of the leaf's internal structure which consisted of mushroom like figures surrounded be compound and single molecules.

According to the fluid mosaic model, a membrane ________. A) is composed of a fluid bilayer of phospholipids between two layers
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Option D, is composed of a fluid bilayer of phospholipids with embedded amphipathic proteins

Explanation:

The fluid mosaic model is the depiction of plasma membrane whose main components are phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates.  

The structure of plasma membrane consists of two layers of phospholipid molecules which are amphipathic or amphipathic (they possess both polar hydrophilic and non-polar hydrophobic ends).  

Protein molecules also possess both polar and non-polar side chains. However, their poly hydrophilic linkages are towards the outer side and non-polar or hydrophobic linkage is towards the inner side.  

Option D is correct
