You are studying a population of mice that fall into two size classes: small and large. You are curious if mouse size is under s

election. You count the number of offspring born to small and large parents. Your results show that small parents have on average 6.2 offspring and large parents have 6.25 offspring. Does size seem to be under selection

Answer:

The information is not sufficient to support this asumption

Explanation:

To unequivocally determine the existence of selection acting on this trait (size), it is necessary to carry out an experiment in which the sample size should be statistically significant (N sample for each group > 50). Moreover, it is also important to include negative controls (i.e., individuals with an average size between both groups) in the experiment.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Increase occur in skin diseases and decrease occurs in the Earth's average temperature.

Explanation:

If both Carbon Dioxide and Ozone levels began to decrease, increase occur in skin diseases and decrease occurs in the Earth's average temperature. The decrease in ozone levels allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface which lead to various diseases such as skin cancer, cataracts, and weakened immune systems. The atmospheric carbondioxide gas is responsible for the increase of surface temperature by trapping reflected solar radiations so decrease in carbondioxide concentration will leads to lower surface temperature.

Mid-ocean ridges are segmented and contain which two basic types of plate boundaries linked together?
mamaluj [8]
Mid ocean ridges occur where two tectonic plates diverge or move away from each other. This separation occurs under the ocean.The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is such an example and is where the North and South American plates pull away from the Eurasian and African plates. Mid ocean ridges are usually a combination of divergent and transform plate boundaries. At transform boundaries plates slide past each other in opposite directions.

Which human activity has the lowest effect on global stability?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

I think the answer is C

''Reusing plastic bags''

Explanation:

Removing carnivores from a forest  has a great impact on a environment since the population of the herbivores will increases drastically and the dynamic equilibrium of the area will be greatly effected.

If we look at choice B '' Heating homes with fossil fuels'', this will also have a big impact on the earth since fossil fuels are non-renewable and take centuries to form. Heating homes with them will result in loss of fossil fuels.

Now let's look at choice D ''Adding heavy metals to the water supply''. Heavy metals are dangerous to the human health and even cause cancer. This will cause thousands of deaths and will also have a great impact on the global stability.

This leaves choice C ''Reusing plastic bags''. This will cause less pollution and less harm to wildlife but doesn't have any big threat to the global stability. As in changing the world population or causing deaths in large numbers.

so I think choice C is the answer

. Daughter cells produced when cells undergo mitosis are genetically _______, and daughter cells produced when cells undergo mei
Radda [10]
Answer; 
D. identical, diverse
Daughter cells produced when cells undergo mitosis are genetically identical, and daughter cells produced when cells undergo meiosis are genetically diverse.

Explanation; 
Meiosis and mitosis are the two major types of cell division. Mitosis takes place in the somatic cells (body cells) in which parent cells undergo division to yield daughter cells that have similar number of chromosomes as the parents. Meaning the daughter cells are identical to the parent cells in terms of genetic material composition.
Meiosis on the other hand, involves division in the germ-line cells in which parent cells divides to yield daughter cells that contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent, meaning that they are not genetically identical, however they re genetically diverse due to the process of crossover and recombination.
