Serhud [2]2 years ago

Evolution is an observable fact where the heritable traits of a population of organisms change over time. What that statement lacks is a description of the mechanisms that cause that. The “Theory of Evolution” explains how the fact of evolution happens. The theory of evolution states that those heritable traits of a population of organisms change over time as a result of natural selection or genetic drift. (Note that there are slight variations of this.) So natural selection is one of the two driving forces of evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproductive success of individuals in response to the environment due to differences in phenotype. For example, and herbivore may have a random mutation that gives it better camouflage from predators, and thus will survive longer and reproduce more.
To summarize, evolution is what we observe, the change of a population of organisms over time. Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that drive it.

mosquitos have 6 chromosomes, dogs have 78, and a adder's tongue fern has 1262 chromosomes. Given this information, what can be
kherson [118]

Answer:

No information can be inferred

Explanation:

Chromosome number provides no reference for establishing any relationship between organisms. The number of chromosome cannot depict whether a living species belong to plant kingdom or animal kingdom. It cannot even depict the evolutionary history of any species. Thus, the organism with lesser chromosome has not necessarily evolved from the species having larger number of chromosome or vice versa.  

Chromosome number can only depict the quantity of genetic material with in an organism and hence no relationship can be established living species only on the basis of chromosome number.

Describe two potential biological risks of large scale cultivation and use of such genetically modified plants
expeople1 [14]
Risk of large scale production:
1. With an increase in production, there can become managerial problems. Workers can become lax, making of decisions become difficult and communication between workers become hard.
2. A large scale operation, needs technical tools like machines. Finance to buy machines can become a problem and hamper growth.

Risk of Genetically modified plants
1. They can become contaminants. The cross pollinated plants and seeds can travel, and contaminate the gene pool. Thereby, threatening future generations of plants.
2. They can produce side effects. Engineered plants, can lead to development of new toxins, carcinogens and deficiencies of nutrition.
