Answer:
Mutations affect evolution by increasing genetic variation and the potential for individuals to differ.
Adaptations are
the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly
through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation
processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of
life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted
through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears
that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to
protect them from low climate areas.

Functional or
Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms
do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is
through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer
seasons and hibernate during winter season. </span>
#1. Typical United States weather patterns show the continental polar air mass moving south toward the Gulf of Mexico. Why does this air mass movement happen?
C) The polar air mass moves south to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.
#2. Running a mineral across a porcelain plate to see the color it leaves behind on the plate may be described as testing for D) streak.
#3. D. Carbonization preserves soft tissues of plants or animals as a thin carbon film, usually in fine-grained shale sediments.
#4. We can divide natural resources into two basic categories: renewable and nonrenewable. Consider the bar graph of resource usage. If we wanted to reduce the use of nonrenewable natural resources, it would be least important to A) reduce deforestation.
#5. Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer who is best known for the theory that the sun is near the center of the universe and that the earth and other planets revolve around it. Copernicus did not believe that the planets were influenced by or revolved due to the sun; instead he believed that the sun was located near the center of the universe and that it was this center which influenced those bodies and caused them to revolve. When this theory was first published, the scientific community did not accept it. Which reason BEST explains the reason for rejection of this theory?
C) It lacked sufficient evidence and explanation.
Hope I helped!!
Hello!
Scientists can calculate the distance from the seismograph station to the focus using the difference in arrival times of P and S waves.
Have a great day!
Answer:
The MOST reasonable explanation is that<em> animals have diversified into the vast number of niches provided by tree diversity</em>.
Explanation:
The tropical rainforest as a biome is located in areas near the equator, where precipitations are abundant and the average temperature is elevated most of the year. As a result of the climatic conditions, this biome gives shelter to a huge number of living organisms. Also, the canopy structure provides many refuges for plants and animals and is an important source of food. It also favors interactions between species. For example, there are too many plant species that live in trees, such as bromeliads, and at the same time they provide refuge to other small animals, like frogs.
There are also too many species in the rainforest that have not been discovered yet.
