Answer:

Detritus

Explanation:

    Common sense suggests that animals ingest plastic because it is present in the oceans and animals cannot distinguish it from real food (for some animals, such as anchovies, plastic can smell like food). But that does not explain why only certain types of whales - deep-toothed whales such as sperm whales, pilot whales and beaked whales - appear dead on the beaches with plastic in its stomach.

    These species hunt in the depths of the ocean, sometimes more than 500 meters below the surface, in total darkness. They use echolocation to look for food - usually squid. Toothed whales may think plastic waste is food because of its appearance.

how does fossil evidence of forests and freshwater organisms in Antarctica show that the climate there was warmer in the past
noname [10]
The fossil record of Antarctica shows the presence of tropical plants, such as one particular species related to the present day breadfruit. Most plants cannot survive in prolonged temperatures of less than 6 degrees Celsius. Antarctica is freezing all year round and could only have supported tropical and sub tropical plants if it was once much closer to the equator.
The presence of fresh water species also suggest that the continent was closer to the equator. Antarctica is frozen solid with a thick ice sheet.....rivers would be frozen solid all year round or would be limited to water movement under glaciers that melt as a result of pressure and friction. This environment is not suitable to support large fresh water organisms.

How can mutations lead to human evolution?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

How Mutations Can Lead to Human Evolution?

Explanation:

A mutation is the random change in the nucleotide sequence or in the DNA organization (genotype) of a living being, [1] that produces a variation in its characteristics and that is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. It occurs spontaneously and suddenly or due to the action of mutagens. This change will be present in a small proportion of the population (variant) or the organism (mutation). The genetic unit capable of mutating is the gene, the unit of hereditary information that is part of DNA.

In multicellular beings, mutations can only be inherited when they affect reproductive cells. A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease. However, although they may seem harmful in the short term, mutations are essential to our long-term existence. Without mutation there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.
