All evolutionary changes that allow a species to change in response to the environment, are originally a result of beneficial DNA mutations.
Beneficial genetic (DNA) mutations are result in individuals with special characteristics that allow them to survive better in the environment so they pass their genes to the next generation.
Here's a fictional example I made just for you!: Lets say you have an alien species called Hibas. They are jelly blobs that float around, don't move, and open their mouths to capture neon shrimps that happen to swim into their mouths. But one day a certain Hiba developed some muscles through a genetic mutation. It was able to "wiggle" through the water and steer itself instead of floating around. This allowed it to eat more neon shrimp than the other Hibas, so it grew faster and was able to reproduce faster. It's kids also had muscles and had an advantage so they reproduced faster then the other Hibas. Eventually the whole Hiba species started to have muscles because the ones that didn't weren't able to compete and did not survive as well.
The reason that most of the Hibas developed muscles was because one of them had a mutation that allowed it to have muscles. This was a BENEFICIAL mutation that allowed it to SURVIVE BETTER.
Answer:
Changes in the composition of the atmosphere
Explanation:
Although this answer is very vague and generalized, it is the correct answer.
The increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere from modern manufacturing and engineering has increase carbon dioxide and methane concentrations in the upper atmosphere. These gasses have a chemical composition that allows the absorption and release of longwave radiation back to the Earth's surface slowly increasing the global average temperature.
Answer:
4. Absorb extra fluid between the cells
Explanation:
The nervous system (SN) is a complex system that acts to receive sensory information through nerves, transmit this information via the spinal cord and finally process it in the brain. The SN has three main roles: sensory input, processing and motor output. The SN can be divided into the central nervous system (composed of the brain and spinal cord), and the peripheral nervous system (composed of those nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord). Moreover, the extracellular fluid between the cells comprises four types of fluids: 1-intravascular fluid (blood), 2-interstitial fluid, 3--transcellular fluid and 4-cerebrospinal fluid. The excess of these fluids is absorbed by the capillaries of the lymphatic system.
Answer:
It helps the cactus live a long time between rainstorms.
Explanation:
A thick, waxy coating keeps the water inside the cactus from evaporating.
Epidermis is made up of dermis.
