Answer:
D variations in individuals are not heritable
Explanation:
Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.
Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.
Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.
Answer:
They probably use aerobic respiration.
Explanation:
A travel distance of 11.500 kilometers in 9 days covered by flying surely requires a lot of energy.
- If cells are fermenting, the ATP (energy) they generate only comes from glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP molecules.
- If they are using aerobic respiration, glucose is completely oxidized to CO₂ through glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle, and the electrons enter the electron transport chain to finally reduce oxygen into water. In the complete process, up to 36 ATP molecules are produced.
In sum, aerobic respiration is much more efficient to generate energy than fermentation, so it's probably the main metabolism of the flight muscles in bar-tailed godwits.
Answer:
Both processes involve carbon compounds either taken in from the environment or produced by the organisms themselves
