Some areas of a forest contain rich soil, while in other areas the soil is poor. Plants of a certain species grow taller in the

rich soil than in the poor soil. The taller plants receive more sunlight and are able to produce more offspring than the shorter plants. If these offspring grow in rich soil, they are tall, but if they grow in poor soil, they are short.Which of the following statements best explains why this situation is not an example of evolution by natural selection?
A The observed differences in plant height are not due to genetics.
B The differences in soil conditions do not affect all plants equally.
C The short plants and tall plants are not isolated enough from each other.
D The short plants are not accumulating gene mutations as quickly as the tall plants.

Answer:

A. The observed differences in plant height are not due to genetics.

Explanation:

In this case, the height of the plants is not related to the genetics of these organisms, but due to the influence of soils rich in nutrients and a higher incidence of sun on them.

The sun stimulates the growth of plants, plants that are shaded are shaded, their growth is impaired, they cannot reach the growth determined by their genetics, being lower than the trees that are receiving sun. Some plants do not grow at all without the sun and end up dying.

In addition, plants need nutrients to grow. When the soil is rich in nutrients, the plant is able to absorb them in quantities necessary for their development and ends up growing more than plants that are in poor nutrient soils.

The correct answer is A . The single base pairs in DNA where humans have different

Explanation:

The human genome includes the coding regions of DNA, which encode all the genes (between 20,000 and 25,000) of the human organism, as well as the noncoding regions of DNA, which do not encode any genes. By 2003 the DNA sequence of the entire human genome was known. DNA; human genome

When elements combine to form compounds what happens to the properties of the original elements?
exis [7]
The properties of the original elements are completely changed.

For example, in the compound called "iron(II) sulphide", it is composed of iron and sulphur, that are chemically combined together. The element iron is attracted to magnets. Meanwhile, iron(II) sulphide is not attracted to magnets. 

Another example is where sulphur has a yellow colour, but iron(II) sulphide has a brownish colour. As we can see, even the physical properties (colours) are completely different.

Therefore, the properties of the original elements are completely changed when they're combined into compounds.

You call to a friend from a boat floating in the ocean. Which best describes the changes in the speed of the sound waves as they
Alina [70]

The correct answer is: The speed of sound is faster in the water than in the air.  

The speed of sound is different between those two mediums because they have different densities. Since, water is denser than air, more energy is required to generate a wave but once it stars, it travels faster than it would do in air. Sound waves’ travel can be presented by particles that transmit the energy one to another as they bump. The sound speed is lower in the air (than in water) because particles are far apart, so they travel further before they collide.
