What were the two driving forces that drove the evolution in the variation of skin color

Biology

yarga [219]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is: geography and UV radiation.

Explanation:

Skin variation occurred thanks to evolution, and was driven as a consequence of the geographical location of different populations of humans.

The humans that lived in hot and sunny places, closer to the equator, where much more exposed to the sun's ultraviolet radiation. In order to survive the amount of UV lights that they were exposed to, new humans in those regions were being born with a darker skin tone, which was rich in melanin (a brown pigment that protects us from the sun radiation).

Contrary to these humans that lived in the tropical areas, the humans that populated the areas that were closer to the poles, developed much lighter skin as a result of lower amounts of melanin in their skin. Since sun exposure in the poles is very limited, humans needed to receive as much as they could for the production of Vitamin D, and thus, their skins got lighter and less protected.

A graph with a calibration curve, linear regression and extrapolation was drawn up from your lab results. What were the two type
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

X is the concentration of the substance being measured and Y is the response from the instrument that is being used to measure

Explanation:

A calibration curve is the plot of known concentration of substances where x is the increasing known concentration and Y is the response, typically "absorption" taken from the instrument that is used for measuring. This curve is then used to find out the concentration of the unknown substance by using it's absorbance and comparing it with the calibration curve. For example:

Concentrations and absorbance readings are as follows

0.5mg/mL=10 nm

1.0mg/mL=15nm

1.5mg/mL=20nm

2.0mg/mL=25nm

This data is plotted on a calibration curve. Next we measure the unknown substance the absorption is 20nm. We can suggest that the concentration is 1.5 mg/mL. If there are readings that fall inbetwen values then the formulat to calculate the right concentration would be y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Linear regression uses the modification of the slope formula y= a + bx to best see how the data of the water samples would fit on the slope of the calibration curve. X is the independent variable , b is the slope of the line and a is the y-intercept.

Extrapolation would be the action of calculating data that are outside the calibration curve,  assuming the trend would continue.
