Answer:

The correct answer would be D) In a population of herbivores, a change in the habitat provides leaves that are high up in the trees. The herbivores with longer necks can reach the leaves. They survive and reproduce. The herbivores, over time, have longer necks.

Natural selection is a gradual process which favors the survival and reproduction of organisms which have better adapted to the environment.

Adaptations or traits which favor the survival of the organisms in environment keep on passing from one generation to the next and with time theses traits get inherited in the population.

For example, in the above situation herbivores with short necks die as they could not reach the leaves that were high up in the trees. In contrast, long neck favors the survival of the organisms due to which only organisms with long necks survive and reproduce. With time, only organisms were left that had long necks.

Answer:

D) In a population of bacteria, variations exist due to mutation. The bacteria are subjected to antibiotics. Some bacteria die; others survive and reproduce. Eventually, the bacteria a resistant to the antibiotics.

Darwin would say: In a population of bacteria, variations exist due to mutation. The bacteria are subjected to antibiotics. Some bacteria die; others survive and reproduce. Eventually, the bacteria a resistant to the antibiotics.

What are the phases in meiosis and explain
densk [106]

Cell division happens twice during meiosis. One starting cell can produce for gametes (eggs or sperm.) In each round of division, cells go through four phases called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

prophase During prophase the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears. This phase includes reduction division, which is where the number of chromosomes is decreased from 46 (diploid) to 23 (haploid.)

metaphase This is where the 23 remaining chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.

anaphase During this phase, the chromosomes move away from each other to one or the other pole of the spindle fiber.

telophase In which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.

interphase This is a resting period.

The difference between a pH of 5 and a pH of 8 is
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is - D) 1000x.

Explanation:

pH is a logarithmic scale, 1 reading change leads to the results in ten-fold in the   H+ concentration in acidity/basicity. The more  H +  ions found in solution, the more acidic the substance is as acids donate  H +  ions.  

You can calculate the concentration of  H +  from the pH and the equation  

p H  = − log [ H + ]

arrange again

[ H + ]  =  10 − p H

So for a pH of 8, we get  [ H + ]  = 10 ^− 8

For a pH of 5, we get  [ H + ] = 10^ − 5

 10 ^−5  /10 ^− 8= 10 ^3

=  1000

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The dairymaids possessed immunity against the more extreme smallpox as due to getting exposed to cowpox, the body of the dairymaids generated certain kinds of substance to defend against the cowpox, which also helped in defending smallpox.  

When Edward Jenner found that the dairymaids suffering from cowpox possessed immunity towards smallpox, he concluded that the emergence of cowpox at the same time developed immunity towards smallpox. To ensure, Jenner collected a fluid sample from the pustule of cowpox and administered it within a boy's body, and thus, discovered the principle of immunity.
