Answer:
The original organism is called the <u><em>parent (ancestor)</em></u> , and new organisms are called the <u><em>offspring</em></u>.
Explanation:
Reproduction is one of the characteristics of life. Every living organism tends to give rise to another organism. The organism which gives rise to another organism is termed as the parent. The organism which is born is known as the offspring.
There are two basic methods of reproduction. An organism can give rise to another organism by the method of asexual or sexual reproduction.
During asexual reproduction, identical copies of the parent organism are made. During sexual reproduction, two organisms reproduce to produce non-identical offsprings.
Genetically dominant means that the trait will always be dominant to the genetically recessive trait as long as the allele for that trait is present.
Let's say you have an R allele that codes for a brown coat and an r allele that codes for a white coat. Say the R allele is genetically dominant to the r allele.
If you have an animal with the genotype RR or Rr, it will show a brown coat because the genetically dominant R allele is present.
Only if the animal as a rr genotype will the white coat show because the genetically dominant R allele isn't present.
When you crossbreed, genetic dominance can be important because it can increase the chances you'll have more diverse offspring with increased chance of survival since the dominant traits, if favorable, will always show for a trait.
I would say reasonable evidence that was 110% true. Otherwise you are putting possiblly false information into the cell theory :)
Answer:
1 - natural selection
2 - uniformitarianism
3- inheritance of acquired characteristics
4 - catastrophism
Explanation:
1. Natural selection refers to the evolution of organism or changes in the characterstics of organism depending on the environmental conditions. Hence, the lizard moved on fantasy island evolved with larger head and stronger bites as per the environmental condition.
2. The concept of Uniformitarianism states that the natural geological processes happening in present have already occured in past with same intesity and rate. Hence, geologist uses the phrase "The present is the key to the past" for formation of mountain, rock formation and water movements.
3. Inheritance of acquired characteristics are the characteristic acquird by the ancestors and transmitted that gradually acquired characteristic to their progeny. Hence, the rats acquire the charactieristics and transfered it to the next generations.
4. Catastrophism means the regular occurrence of meteorological and geological disturbances to explain the existence the fossil record. Hence, teh mass exticiton due to asteroid impact is an example of Catastrophism.
So, the correct options in sequential order is natural selection, uniformitarianism, inheritance of acquired characteristics, and catastrophism.
