Describe the interaction between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere. (The Water Cycle)
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

These spheres are closely connected. For example, many birds (biosphere) fly through the air (atmosphere), while water (hydrosphere) often flows through the soil (lithosphere). Interactions also occur among the spheres; for example, a change in the atmosphere can cause a change in the hydrosphere, and vice versa.

Explanation:

Hope this helps you!:)

PLEASE HELP IM DESPERATE
Furkat [3]

Answer:

8. D

9. A

10. A

11. C

12. D

Explanation:

8. Natural selection works on variation that exists in the genes of organisms. Antelopes who have genetic variation that makes their legs more muscular are at an advantage because they can outrun predators. This increases the chance that they will reach reproductive age, and be able to pass this advantageous trait onto their offspring. Over time, this selection pressure makes the variant more common in a population.

9. Beneficial traits are those that give a selective advantage. This could be one that helps it outrun predators (like above), avoid illness and death, gives it a reproductive advantage (i.e. more attractive to mates), or makes it better able to digest certain foods, for example. The formation of cancer cells would be harmful for an organism, reducing its fitness and perhaps leading to death. The inability to reproduce would mean genetic info is not passed on to the next generation, and stopping the production of an essential protein would likely lead to death. However, resistance to a virus would help an organism avoid illness and death, improving fitness.

10. Genotypes are what organisms inherit from their parents, i.e. the genetic information that is passed on. However, the way in which different alleles interact and are expressed is the phenotype. If we take the above example, natural selection is acting on the phenotype of muscular legs. If an antelope had the muscular leg genotype but for some reason it was not being expressed (maybe another gene is interfering with it), then the antelope would not have a selective advantage, and natural selection could not be act on the trait.

11. A trait that better suits an organism to its environment will be selected for by natural selection. This is because that organism is more likely to survive due to the trait, giving it a selective advantage. Therefore, if a mutation arose making the giraffe more adapted to the environment, it would be positively selected for, and through evolution would become more common.

12. This is an example of selective breeding, which has been happening for generations. Farmers spot desirable traits, and cross horses with these traits in an attempt to enhance the trait or to ensure it is passed on to the next generation. This is not natural selection, because farmers are making it happen artificially. It is not cloning or recombinant DNA, which are terms scientists use for actually manipulating the DNA in the lab.

Which nucleic acid is pictured on the right? Justify your answer.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Nucleic Acids:

- Uracil

- Adenine

- Guanine

- Cytosine

Explanation:

Since we only have one strand shown, I'm going to assume it is RNA. Both DNA and RNA have nucleic acids, but RNA has 1 different nucleic acid; it replaces Thymine with Uracil. So the 4 nucleic acids are uracil, adenine, guanine, and cytosine.

If the picture shown is a cross-section of DNA, then our 4 nucleic acids are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

At the end of winter, water containing very high concentrations of road salt used to deice roadways runs off and some of it ente
jeka94

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The water molecules in the cell will want to move out of the cell into the pond in attempt to lower the salt concentration which will cause the cells to shrivel up with the loss of water. This is also called becoming hypertonic.
