Evolution can be described as the change in the <u>allele</u> frequencies of a<u> gene pool </u>over time. The process of natural selection acts on specific <u>phenotypes </u>and causes a change in the frequency of the alleles that produce them. A population of organisms with similar phenotypes that interbreed is defined as a <u>species</u>. Note that<u> </u><u>species</u> evolve, not individuals.

Explanation:

Evolution is the gradual change in species over time due to selective response processes.

Natural selection of species leads to overproduction of species, variation or habitability of heritable characteristics, selection of inherited traits or phenotypes which aid the species to better suit to their environment, and to enhance and maintain the species fitness to survive and thrive in their environment.

Natural selection leads to genetic drift or shift in the gene pool to develop favorable phenotypes under random circumstances through bottleneck or founder effects.

The frequency distribution of phenotyes follows a bell curve due to either directional, stabilizing, or disruptive natural selection processes. The group or population with similar type of traits or phenotypes which can interbreed among themselves are collectively called as species.

The evolutionary changes are exhibited or observed in the species as a whole and not in an individual organism due to evolutionary processes like co-evolution, divergent and convergent evolution.

Bond [772]

Answer:

•Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration  puts it back.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy →   glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture  by chloroplast.

Cellular respiration:

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

In this way it release the carbon dioxide back into atmosphere.

Which is true about factors that influence
baherus [9]

Answer:

B. The rain shadow effect causes equal

precipitation on both sides of a mountain.

Explanation:

A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ... On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked. ... This cool air cannot hold moisture as well as warm air. Cool air forms clouds, which drop rain and snow, as it rises up a mountain.

The histogram shows the worldwide population densities of killer whales, or orcas, distributed by latitude. According to the gra
shutvik [7]

The correct answer is - Most killer whales congregate in the areas that are near the Arctic/Antarctic Circles.

The killer whales have a very large distribution, and they can be found in all oceans, apart from the Southern Ocean. It is noted though that the population density of the killer whales differs from place to place. The higher concentrations are found around the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, where there's cool rich waters, while in the lower latitudes they are much rarer. The reason for this probably lies in the fact that most of the animals that are considered to be the prime food source of the killer whales are living in this rich cold waters.
