Answer;
-Fossil evidence
-Comparative anatomy
-Molecular clocks
Biological evidence of the age of the earth includes fossil evidence, comparative anatomy, and molecular clocks.
Explanation;
-Fossils are critical tools in science because they give us clues to the types of plants and animals that lived on Earth in the past.There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined.
-Comparative anatomy is an important tool that helps determine evolutionary relationships between organisms and whether or not they share common ancestors. However, it is also important evidence for evolution. Anatomical similarities between organisms support the idea that these organisms evolved from a common ancestor.
-Scientists can use relaxed-clock methods to deal with variation in the rate of the molecular clock. By measuring the patterns of evolutionary rate variation among organisms, they can also gain valuable insight into the biological processes that determine how quickly the molecular clock ticks.
The third one is the right answer.
Mutations appear randomly and these mutations can either have possitive, negative or neutral impact on the individual's survival. The environment of the individual amongst other factor determine the net effect of the mutation. For example:
A mutation on a shade plant for bigger leaves would have a possitive impact on the plants survival due to the increase of the photosynthetic tissue area. On the other hand the same mutation on a desert plant would have a negative impact on the plant's survival due to the increase of the leaf area which leads to increased water evaporation off the plant.
Answer:
Cations, Oxygen, Anions, Hydrogen
Explanation:
Water molecule is polar (meaning it has dipoles). The oxygen having a higher atomic mass attracts most of the electron cloud of the molecule becoming partially negatively charged and leaving the hydrogen end to be partially positive.
An Ionic compound is one between two atoms where one donates its electrons to the other for both to achieve stable configuration. The two atoms, therefore, become charged and are bought together by electrostatic forces.
When an ionic compound is put in water, it dissociates into its ions (anions and cations) They attract and repel with the polar water molecules depending on their charges. The anions (negatively charged ion) are surrounded by water molecules with the hydrogen ends and the cations are surrounded by water molecules with the oxygen ends.
