Identify the four postulates of natural selection.A challenge to traditional (pre-1860) ideas about species came from embryology
victus00 [196]
<h2>Postulates of natural selection</h2>

Explanation:

  • Early in development, all vertebrate embryos are remarkably similar. The similarities among the embryos imply that the development of all vertebrates (having a backbone) evolved as new genetic instructions were placed on  Top of older ones.
  • The chick embryo is on the right. It is easier to compare a newly hatched chick and a newborn baby. After birth, a backbone or vertebrae are clearly visible, as are legs, a mouth, a pair of eyes, etc. The chick’s  Skeletal system, in general, has multiple similarities to ours, including having one bone in the upper leg and upper wing and two bones in the lower leg and lower wing. This mimics our arm and leg skeletal structures.
  • Mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish, look very similar at the earliest stages of growth inside the womb of the mother animal.Vertebrate embryos begin developing similar features due to related ancestors. As the embryo grows, it may drop some of these ancestral traits as the genetic code becomes more specific for that species.

What is the role of an indicator? Predict how the glucose test strips and iodine would react with the following foods: Grape Tom
pogonyaev
The main role of an indicator is to establish the equivalence point when two substance has reached its neutralization process. The purpose of an indicator is to determine how acidic or basic the product or solution is. Indicator solutions work by actually reacting with the components of food that they test for, creating a new substance of a different color. This is a chemical reaction.If the substance that they test for is not present in the food, there will be no reaction, and therefore no color change.  The test strips will be more likely to be dark blue or black for  Grape, Tomato, Summer squash, Orange Bell pepper as they all contain starch. Color intensity may vary depending on the level of starch found in the samples.

Describe how an amino acid molecule passes from the lumen of the ileum to the liver​
Stels [109]

Answer: Amino acids are absorbed via a Sodium cotransporter, in a similar mechanism to the monosaccharides.

Explanation: Amino acids are absorbed via a Sodium cotransporter, in a similar mechanism to the monosaccharides. They are then transported across the alabaster membrane via facilitated diffusion. Di and tripeptides are absorbed via separate H+ dependent cotransporters and once inside the cell are hydrolyzed to amino acids.
