PLEASE HELP IM DESPERATE

Biology
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

8. D

9. A

10. A

11. C

12. D

Explanation:

8. Natural selection works on variation that exists in the genes of organisms. Antelopes who have genetic variation that makes their legs more muscular are at an advantage because they can outrun predators. This increases the chance that they will reach reproductive age, and be able to pass this advantageous trait onto their offspring. Over time, this selection pressure makes the variant more common in a population.

9. Beneficial traits are those that give a selective advantage. This could be one that helps it outrun predators (like above), avoid illness and death, gives it a reproductive advantage (i.e. more attractive to mates), or makes it better able to digest certain foods, for example. The formation of cancer cells would be harmful for an organism, reducing its fitness and perhaps leading to death. The inability to reproduce would mean genetic info is not passed on to the next generation, and stopping the production of an essential protein would likely lead to death. However, resistance to a virus would help an organism avoid illness and death, improving fitness.

10. Genotypes are what organisms inherit from their parents, i.e. the genetic information that is passed on. However, the way in which different alleles interact and are expressed is the phenotype. If we take the above example, natural selection is acting on the phenotype of muscular legs. If an antelope had the muscular leg genotype but for some reason it was not being expressed (maybe another gene is interfering with it), then the antelope would not have a selective advantage, and natural selection could not be act on the trait.

11. A trait that better suits an organism to its environment will be selected for by natural selection. This is because that organism is more likely to survive due to the trait, giving it a selective advantage. Therefore, if a mutation arose making the giraffe more adapted to the environment, it would be positively selected for, and through evolution would become more common.

12. This is an example of selective breeding, which has been happening for generations. Farmers spot desirable traits, and cross horses with these traits in an attempt to enhance the trait or to ensure it is passed on to the next generation. This is not natural selection, because farmers are making it happen artificially. It is not cloning or recombinant DNA, which are terms scientists use for actually manipulating the DNA in the lab.

List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower
DENIUS [597]

Answer: the question is incomplete,below is the complete question.

List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert

The answers are, Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree.

Construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert will threaten the existence of Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and and Joshua tree.

Explanation: The construction of solar power towers in Mojave desert in California poses a threat to the existence of quite a number of plants.The Mojave desert houses the largest solar power plant in the world,creating the solar power tower will create job opportunities for people but at the same time endangering the existence of about 12 rare plants that are found in the region of which Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree are greatly included,these plants cannot co-exist with solar thermal mirror arrays,this brings a controversy between energy/electricity generation and wildlife/ecosystem conservation.

What are brodmann areas and how do they relate to the neurological deficits that occur as the result of stroke?.
Viefleur [7K]

The Brodmann areas are a method of mapping the cortex and its distinct functions that was developed by Korbinian Brodmann, after whom the areas are named.

Korbinian Brodmann (November 17, 1868 – August 22, 1918) was a German neurologist best known for classifying the cerebral cortex into 52 distinct regions based on cytoarchitectonic (histological) characteristics. These areas are now commonly known as Brodmann areas.

The Brodmann classification divides the cortex into approximately 52 sequentially numbered areas, though some regions have since been subdivided and others are only found in non-human primates.

It is in charge of motor movements such as contralateral finger/hand/wrist or orofacial movements, learned motor sequences, breathing control, and voluntary blinking. The primary visual cortex (Brodmann area 17) is located on the medial surface of the occipital lobe, in and on either side of the calcarine sulcus.
