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

Biology

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.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

The climate of Antarctica was probably much warmer in the past than it is today.

Explanation:

There are little things living there now. Coal takes millions of years to form. There must have been much more living things there in the past (when it was warmer) to make coal.

Frogs go through metamorphosis.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Nimfa-mama [501]
That statement is true. When a frog hatches from the egg, a fish like creature called a tadpole emerges. As the tadpole grow, lungs and legs grow, and the gills and tail "absorb," into the body. After that, the now frog creatures spends most time on land. Hope that helped! Vote this as the brainliest answer please!

icang [17]
1. breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics:
DIHYBRID CROSS.
We call it a dihybrid cross when we are considering a cross between two different traits.
"di" means having two traits involved (for example, trait A and trait B), the "hybrid" means that each trait will have two different alleles (for gene A: A or a; for gene B: B or b), one is dominant and the other is recessive.

2. a grid system used to predict possible combinations of genes due to random fertilization: PUNNETT SQUARE
The Punnett square is a grid system that helps us predict an outcome of a cross or a breeding experiment. We this, we can determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype.
This is very useful when we are considering more than one gene,  making it less confusing.

3. a condition in which both alleles are dominant: CODOMINANCE
Tere are alleles that have the capacity of dominating at the same time, and when an organism is heterozygotic, both alleles are expressed.
For example, a white chicken(WW) crossed with a black chicken (BB):  100% of the offspring being WB. With this genotype, they have black feathers and white feathers. It's not a blend of colors, but a case where both are expressing.

4. when more than two alternatives exist for a gene: MULTIPLE ALLELES
Mendel thought that only two possible alternatives could exist for a gene, but there are cases that have more than 3 possibilities. Some of those can be really popular in a population while others not so much.
This happens with rabbit's fur. They can be black, brown, grayish,
Himalayan patterning or white fur.

 5.a condition in which neither pair of alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype: INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
Some alleles are not completely dominant, and when that's the case the phenotype of a heterozygous organism will be a mix between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents.
For example:
plant 1: RR -red
plant 2: rr-white
By crossing this plants we will obtain 100%  of the offspring with a color mix: pink.(genotype: Rr)
Red and white are not completely dominating so it results in a blend of colors.
