How is laying eggs on land an evolutionary advantage for sea turtles and capelin

Biology
1 answer:
gregori [183]3 years ago
5 0

1. Laying eggs on land reduces the chances of the eggs being predated on by predators in the seas and oceans.  

2. Temperatures are critical in the development of the yolk into an embryo and full turtle. Temperatures even determine the sex of the developing turtles. Land heats up more than water hence promotes faster development hence increases the survival of the offsprings.

The term __________ refers to lack of control over bowel movements that is not caused by an organic problem.
damaskus [11]

The term faecal incontinence refers to lack of control over bowel movements that is not caused by an organic problem.

The inability to control bowel motions results in faeces (stool) leaking unexpectedly from the rectum in faecal incontinence. Fecal incontinence, also known as bowel incontinence, can range from the infrequent leakage of faeces when passing gas to a total lack of bowel control.

Faecal incontinence is frequently brought on by muscle or nerve injury, constipation, and diarrhoea. Damage to the muscles or nerves may be brought on by ageing or giving birth. Faecal incontinence can also develop in those who are unaware that they need to pass stool. We refer to this as passive incontinence.

Therefore, The term faecal incontinence refers to lack of control over bowel movements that is not caused by an organic problem.

g A mutation occurs upstream of gene A in the region encoding the ribosome binding site, making it bind more weakly to the ribos
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

it is expected that the mutation results in a reduced initiation of translation and thereby decreasing the level of the protein A, while it does not change the level of mRNA A

Explanation:

Translation in bacteria starts with the formation of the initiation complex which is composed of the small ribosomal subunit, the messenger RNA (mRNA), initiation factors and the initiator transference RNA (tRNA) containing N-formyl-methionine. The small ribosomal subunit binds to a polypurine stretch of variable length in the mRNA called 'the Shine-Dalgarno sequence'. A mutation in this sequence reduces the affinity of the ribosome for the mRNA, thereby, in this case, decreasing the level of protein A. Since transcription occurs before translation, it is expected that this mutation does not change the level of expression of the mRNA A.

Question 1 of 10
Sati [7]

Answer: Option A) Parathyroid glands

Explanation:

The Parathyroid gland located in the neck region helps in the secretion of an hormone called Parathormone.

This hormone helps to raise the levels of calcium ions in the body, by preventing the loss of calcium ions through urine, and also preventing excess deposit of calcium ions in the bone, thus regulating bone density.

Apple maggots are a type of fly native to North America. Prior to the introduction of the apple tree to North America, apple mag
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

B is the most likely consequence because of the following facts we are told:

  • After apple trees were introduced, some apple maggots began feeding from and laying their eggs on apple trees
  • Adult apple maggots will only mate on the type of tree on which they were born.

This provides a geographical isolation (because they are feeding and laying eggs on separate trees) and reproductive isolation (because they will only mate on the type of tree on which they are born).

These two factors increase the chances that apple maggots feeding on apple trees will only encounter those who have mated on the same tree, and continue to mate this way. Over time, the populations (i.e. apple tree vs hawthorn tree) will intermix less and less. This will mean the genetic pool will become distinct, and natural selection will be acting differently (different habitats and different genes), encouraging speciation.
