The correct answer is 3- <span>The smelt and alewife may out-compete the native fish by consuming all of the zooplankton.

The diagram tells us that zooplankton is eaten by smelts and alewifes. If these two species increase in number, less of the zooplankton will be left for plankton-eating fish, which is a native type of fish, to eat.
</span>
<span> smelt and alewife eat most of the existing plankton so, they are out-competing the native fish.</span>

Answer:

A. Early signs of life on earth

The planet had just formed and was still very hot due to high volcanism, a partially molten surface. Some geologists labels the period before the earliest-known rocks on Earth.

In a population fulfilling all the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium, allelic frequencies:
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A. will not change from generation to generation.  

Explanation:

For a population in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation and remain constant. This occurs when:

-The population is large enough.

-Individuals of the population exhibit random mating .

-No evolutionary force (natural selection, mutation, gene flow, etc.) is operative on the population.

Under these conditions, the allele frequencies of the population are not changed and the population is said to be in "Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium".

almond37 [142]
Chronic kidney disease is when your kidney is not functioning properly. Kidneys contain filters called nephrons. It is the their job to filter the blood of waste products and extra fluid. As a result, your body flushes the waste out as urine. The most common causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. If your blood vessels contain a high concentration of sugar and cholesterol, the nephrons would take the exhaustive work. In the long run, if you keep eating unhealthy food, the kidney could no longer catch up. Thus, resulting to chronic kidney disease.
