Answer:

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.

 

Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away. No rock on Earth is hard enough to resist the forces of weathering and erosion. Together, these processes carved landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, in the U.S. state of Arizona. This massive canyon is 446 kilometers (277 miles) long, as much as 29 kilometers (18 miles) wide, and 1,600 meters (1 mile) deep.

 

Weathering and erosion constantly change the rocky landscape of Earth.

<h3>What is fitness?</h3>

<u>Fittest </u>is the term describes living things that are best suited to their environment.

Species that survive are the ones that <u>adapt</u>, make or meet changes.

Florida has a rich <u>fossil </u>record spanning from the Eocene to recent times. Florida fossils are often very well preserved.

Two examples of land animal fossils found in Florida are the <u>giant sloth</u> and the<u> </u><u>saber-tooth tiger</u>.

Some animals unable to adapt to the changing environment became <u>extinct </u>.

Living things <u>mutate </u>over time to meet their changing environment.

This biologist, Darwin, studied <u>evolution </u>in the 1800s.

The <u>glyptodont </u>was a giant, armadillo-like animal with a spiked tail that once lived in Florida.

The Origin of Species is a book written in 1859 about<u> </u><u>natural selection</u>.

Nature selects the <u>fittest </u>for survival because they have useful traits.

Changes may occur in animals due to changes in the sequence of base pairs in their DNA, and this is known as a <u>mutation</u>.

Oldfield mice show <u>variation </u>in the color of their fur.

The survival of the light-colored old field mice on Florida's Gulf Coast is an example of the process called <u>adaptation</u>.

Evolution is a controversial theory that has survived much <u>criticism</u>.

In the spleen, ___________ from red blood cells is broken down to form (unconjugated) bilirubin. Unconjugated bilirubin is insol
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Haemoglobin; liver; binds; stored; bile duct; small intestine; lipids.

Explanation:

Serology can be defined as the study of blood and the reactions between antibodies and antigens in the blood.

In Biology, blood pH can be defined as a measure of the hydrogen ion (H¯) concentration of blood i.e the level of alkalinity or acidity of blood.

Basically, the normal blood pH of a human being should be between 7.35 and 7.45.

Hence, one of the ways in which the body regulates blood pH is with proteins. Proteins help regulate blood pH by accepting and releasing hydrogen ions. Typically, when the blood pH falls, the hydrogen ions (H¯) are accepted (absorbed) while hydrogen ions are released when the blood pH rises.

For example, a protein such as haemoglobin which makes up a composition of the red blood cells, binds an amount of acid required to regulate blood pH.

In the spleen, haemoglobin from red blood cells is broken down to form (unconjugated) bilirubin. Unconjugated bilirubin is insoluble in blood plasma so binds to albumens in the blood and is sent to the liver. Bilirubin binds with glucuronic acid to form conjugated bilirubin. It forms part of the bile, which is stored in the gall bladder. Food in the gut stimulates gall bladder contraction and the bile passes down the bile duct to the small intestine, where it aids in the digestion of lipids.

The expression of a gene to form a polypeptide occurs in two major steps. What are these two steps in their correct chronologica
Katen [24]

two steps of expression of a gene in their correct chronological order are Transcription then translation.(option a)

The process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce protein or non-coding RNA end products and ultimately affect a phenotype as the final effect is known as gene expression.

It comprises two significant stages: translation and transcription, Gene expression is made up of transcription and translation working together to form a polypeptide.

  • The production of RNA from DNA is known as transcription. The enzyme RNA polymerase acts as the catalytic agent.
  • The process by which a messenger RNA's genetic code is decoded to produce a particular polypeptide chain is known as translation. A particular amino acid is specified in each genetic code.
