Pasteur used swan-neck flasks in his experiments to test the validity of spontaneous generation. Suppose that after allowing the

flasks to sit for a day, he had tilted one of these flasks so that the sterile broth entered the swan neck. Suppose he had then tilted the flask back to allow the broth to settle back into the round bowl of the flask before leaving it to sit undisturbed for another few days. What would have happened, and how would these results have affected conclusions about spontaneous generation?

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

If Pasteur had tilted one of the flasks so that sterile broth entered the swan neck and then tilted it back to allow the broth to settle back, <em>t</em><u>hat particular flask would have had microbes growing in it after being left undisturbed for a few days. </u>

<em>Allowing the sterile broth to get to the neck of the swan would lead to the contamination of the broth because the swan neck is not sterile. If this had happened, the observation of growth of microbes in one of the flasks would have given further credence to spontaneous generation. </em>

How do transitional fossils help explain the evolutionary steps that took place to produce modem organisms?​
lesya [120]

Answer:

Transitional fossils show how a particular taxa accumulated adaptations to fit particular environment​s and/or ecological niches

Explanation:

Transitional fossils are fossilized remains of taxonomic groups/species that illustrate an evolutionary transition between a known version of a taxa/species and the current taxa/species. Transitional fossils are fundamental because they can be clearly differentiated from the ancestral group as well as of its derived descendant group. For example, there exist transitional fossils known as "mammal-like reptiles"(i.e., therapsids that gave rise to the true mammals), which are clearly different from current mammals.

A certain reptile species is an herbivore and exists only on an isolated island.
Oksanka [162]

The reptile produce few offsprings having no unique traits, and the vegetation as well changes quickly so that it can be protected from the reptile species.

Explanation:

Majority of the reptiles lay eggs or give birth to young ones such as squamates , this is done in two ways such as by keeping the egg inside the body of the mother or by developing offsprings without any formation of eggs. Climate change is having an adverse effect on the reptiles , a physiological as well as ecological change is occurring as a result reptiles as well as other species are in danger. Climate change is having an adverse effect on snakes , that is, there is fall in range size of snakes.

List three reasons why phytoplankton cannot survive at a hydrothermal vent
Doss [256]

Answer:

3.  The ocean's increasing acidity will most likely kill them.
