Answer:

Natural selection leads to adaptation, that is, to a population dominated by organisms that are anatomically, behaviorally, and physiologically well suited to survive and reproduce in a specific environment. ... Species become extinct because they can no longer survive and reproduce in their altered environment.

Answer:Natural selection leads to extinction. Variation of the genome that do not have the information required to survive in an environment are eliminated due to natural selection. The surviving genomes already had the information required to survive or adapt to the environment.

Natural selection does not create information necessary for the adaptation of a population. The information must already exist for adaptation to occur. Natural selection will change the composition of a population by eliminating the poorly adapted.

Examples are the peppered moth of England. There were two varieties the Melanic or dark and the predominate white. When the industrial revolution and burning of coal changed the environment, the Melanic or dark variation was better adapted. The population changed to being predominately melanic. When the pollution caused by the Industrial revolution was brought under control the population reverted back to the predominately white variety. Natural selection only changed the population. Natural selection did not create the adaptation it already existed.

Answer:

Global warming intensifies water cycle

Explanation:

Global warming can dramatically intensify the water cycle because this phenomenon is associated with an increase in temperature, thereby a higher amount of water is evaporated into the air and a higher amount of ice is melted at the poles. Warmer atmospheric air will have a higher amount of water vapor, increasing the frequency and intensity of rainstorms. In consequence, global warming can signiﬁcantly increase the probability of ﬂooding in coastal communities.

1. What would happen if the plasma membrane ruptured or breaks down?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

( 1 ) If the plasma membrane ruptures or breaks down then the cell will not be able to exchange material from its surrounding by diffusion or osmosis. Thereafter the protoplasmic material will disappear and the cell will die.

( 2 ) If there is no Golgi apparatus in the cell , the plasma membrane would be affected because it needs to be able to grow larger for cell division. creation of lot of excess junk would occur in the cell. If this happened the cell would not able to live for long period.

True of false proteins produced by a hormone-receptor binding will alter the cell's activity.

-Dominant- [34]

This statement is true.
When a hormone binds to a hormone receptor it activates cell enzymes that start a cell cascade. This means that this enzyme makes changes in the activity other proteins or alters the expression of specific genes that change the cells activity.
