From the Egg viability hypothesis, we can predict the following;
A. Probability of hatching failure will
be higher for eggs laid later within a clutch.
This is because viability of unincubated eggs decline overtime.
B. The probability of hatching fail will be higher for eggs laid later within a clutch.
This is because large clutch affects or changes nest micro-climate which result to increase in water loss during incubation period.
Think of it like this. Horses do a LOT of galloping, which is hard on the feet! Hooves are a physical ADAPTATION, so that the horses won't experience pain on their journeys. They're hard, so that the horses don't feel the ground nearly as much. Now, mountain goats travel over rough terrain, with sharp rocks and steep inclines. Again, it's really easy for them to get hurt strutting around the mountains, so they evolved hard hooves to protect their feet.
Potatoes do not swell when it rains. When it rains the potatoes absorbs water mostly through its roots.
D. Homeostasis- naturally selected function
Answer;
-Nucleotides
Explanation;
-Nucleic acids are polynucleotides, that is, long chainlike molecules composed of a series of nearly identical building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogen-containing aromatic base attached to a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, which is in turn attached to a phosphate group.
-A sugar-phosphate backbone joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
