Bell and collaborators painstakingly documented a population of fossil sticklebacks from an ancient freshwater lake over a 20,00

0-year period. The prevalence of sticklebacks with full and reduced pelvises changed over time. Which is true?
a. In this population, having pelvic spines seemed to provide a selective advantage to stickleback fish.
b. The population of fish with pelvic spines that arrived in the lake at time B evolved a reduced pelvis over time (beginning at time C).
c. By the end of the studied period (time D) there was an approximately equal number of sticklebacks with and without spines. Initially (time A), fish with full pelvises dominated the lake population. d. The evolution of pelvic reduction seen in the fossil record is different from the phenomenon occurring in the lakes in Alaska today.

Answer:

The population of fish with pelvic spines that arrived in the lake at time B evolved a reduced pelvis over time (beginning at time C).

Explanation:

The fossil record showed that before the time period B, the ancient sticklebacks might have had a huge pelvis which was of no use to them. As a result, through evolution at time B the pelvis reduced in the sticklebacks through natural selection. Having a reduced pelvis must have been advantageous for this ancient stickleback population, just as it is for many current freshwater stickleback populations. Hence, the correct option is B.

How are diffusion and osmosis different? A. Osmosis is the movement of proteins. Diffusion is the movement of water. B. Osmosis
stepladder [879]
The answer is B, osmosis is the movement of water. Diffusion is the movement to chemicals and molecules.

Both osmosis and diffusion are movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration of the substance moving to lower concentration down the concentration gradient. However, osmosis is only for the movement of water molecules, while diffusion is for any type of substances including liquid or gas. So we can also say osmosis is a type of diffusion actually.

And also, both of these movement of molecules does not require extra energy, they all happen due to natural tendency.

Which statements describe film badges? check all that apply. an amplifying device that indicates the presence of ionizing partic
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

film sensitive to radiation that is removed and developed to measure exposure.

a device used for monitoring individual cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation.

Explanation:

Film badges are monitoring devices that contain photographic film which measures and record the wearer’s exposure to different ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles. The photographic film within film badges is very sensitive, functions as a detector, and is enclosed in a vapor and light resistance cover which disallows chemical vapors, light or moisture to have an effect on the film. Film badges give a lasting radiation record and it can also differentiate between different energies of photons.

Hurry for a brainlest!
Whitepunk [10]
The main culprits in their demise are invasive, disease-carrying mosquitos introduced to Hawaii. Avian malaria and other diseases have decimated the birds’ populations.

The ‘i‘iwi and similar species have gradually sought refuge at higher, cooler elevations where the mosquitos can’t reach them. But researchers say that climate change is warming those habitats and allowing the mosquitos to reach the birds.
