In 1809, prominent naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed a theory for the evolution of species. According to his theory, whi

ch was known as transmutation of species, organisms gain physical traits during their lives that allow them to adapt to their environments. These organisms then pass their acquired physical traits down to their offspring. This process, according to Lamarck's theory, explains the way in which species have become adapted to their environments. Which of the following observations most likely demonstrated the inaccuracy of this theory?

The answer is: Organisms will not pass acquired physical traits to the next generation.

In his theory, Lamarck proposed how species adapted to the changed environment by passing down <span>acquired physical traits to the next generation. But, after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, Lamarck's theory was rejected. Now, it is known that acquired physical traits could not be inherited and epigenetics is a good proof for that.</span>

Hii! Please help me on this question!
ruslelena [56]

A cell membrane has consists of phospholipids. They are lipids with a phosphate group such as (PO3/4). They are hydrophilic meaning that they allow water to pass through proteins well some at least- but it might be needed to move molecules throughnthe membrane as well. But basically it's just a composed bilayer of phospholipids with hydrophobic acid tails so that they could all meet with one another. The form complexes into function to describe or to identify the cells to anothers cells.

Hope this helps.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

a. water into root hair cells

Explanation:

Osmosis can be defined as a process which typically involves the movement of a solvent molecule such as water through a semi-permeable from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Hence, the process of osmosis is best illustrated by the movement of water into root hair cells because they are used by the plants to absorb water from the soil.

The subcutaneous layer is mainly made of ___.
Gelneren [198K]

The subcutaneous layer is mainly made of  <u>fat tissue.</u>

One of the three layers of skin is the subcutaneous layer, which lies below the dermis. The deepest layer of the skin is primarily made up of fat. It also contains collagen, blood vessels and nerves. The body's fat creates a layer that protects the organs from damage and acts as insulation against the cold. Additionally, it gives the skin structural support.

The depth of the subcutaneous layer in the body's abdominal region, which frequently has higher percentages of fat, can reach three centimeters. The thickness is determined by the person's overall body fat percentage. Other places, like the eyelids, have a subcutaneous layer that is as thin as 1 millimeter and devoid of fat.

The subcutaneous layer has many functions, including insulation, thermoregulation, shock absorption, structural support, and energy storage.

In Oompa Loompas, gray face (G) is dominant to orange recessive face (g). If two gray faced Oompas have an offspring with an ora
Neko [114]

Answer:

The genotype for each of the parents must be

parent 1 : Gg

parent 2 : Gg

Explanation:

Please note that a dominant trait is a trait that is expressed phenotypically in a heterozygous state, while a recessive trait is a trait that can only be expressed in a homozygous state.

Now, since gray face (G) for Oompa Loompas is dominant, and orange face (g) is recessive, for an offspring to be orange faced, it means that the genotype of the offspring must be 'gg'. Also, since both parent contribute an allele in the pair of alleles in the offspring, both parents must have the recessive (g) in their genotype. Moreover, we are told that both parents are gray-faced, meaning that their genotypes were 'Gg' and 'Gg'. To confirm, let me do the cross

                                 G           g

G                                GG       Gg

g                                 Gg        gg

from the cross above, we find out that out of 4 offspring, 3 were gray face (GG, Gg ) while one was orange face (gg).
