allsm [11]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Lithosphere made the earth outermost layer, crust and upper portion of mantle.

Asthenosphere made the middle layer of earth.

Explanation:

Lithosphere:

Lithosphere made the earth outermost layer, crust and upper portion of mantle.

It is made up of tectonic plates.

Lithosphere present over the asthenosphere.

Lithosphere have low temperature as compared to asthenosphere.

Its rocks are rigid.

It is less viscous and dense

Asthenosphere:

Asthenosphere made the middle layer of earth.

When material present in asthenosphere solidify it becomes the part of lithosphere.

Asthenosphere have high temperature as compared to the lithosphere.

Its rocks are plastic and have tendency to flow.

It is more viscous and dense.

In a tropical forest some leaves are dark green and some are light green. In a population of caterpillars, homozygous dominant d
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

This is an example of "Disruptive selection".

Explanation:

<em>Disruptive selection</em> occurs when <em>selective pressure</em> <em>favor homozygous</em>. In equilibrium, <em>the two alleles might be present or one of them might be lost</em>. If an environment has two extremes, then in these environments, both alleles are presented in homozygous.  

The disruptive selection causes an <em>increase</em> in the two types of <em>extreme phenotypes over the intermediate forms</em>. Limits between one extreme and the other are frequently very sharped. Individuals belonging to one phenotype can not live in the same area as individuals belonging to the other phenotype, due to the traits differences between them, competition, or predation.

Populations show two favored extreme phenotypes and a few individuals in the middle. Individuals who survive best are the ones who have traits on the <u>extremes forms</u>.  Individuals in <u>the middle</u> are not successful at survival or reproduction.

<em>Color</em> is very important when it comes to <em>camouflage</em>. Dark green caterpillars that live in dark foliage and light green caterpillars that live in light foliage can <em>hide from predators</em> more effectively and will live the longest. Intermediate colored green caterpillars that don't camouflage or blend into either will be eaten more quickly.

What do you notice about the ligands and their receptors in these images?
aliina [53]

Answer:

What can be noticed about the ligands and their receptor is that the configuration of both coincide, as a key would with its lock, which demonstrates the specificity of a receptor by its ligand.

Explanation:

A <u>ligand</u> corresponds to a molecule considered a signal or a messenger, while the <u>receptor</u> is a protein on the cell surface, with the capacity to accept a ligand.

Ligands and receptors constitute pairs that complement each other, so that <u>each receptor can bind to a specific ligand</u>, similar to what happens with a key and a lock.

Once the ligand-receptor complex is formed, changes occur inside the cell, which define a certain effect.

A scientist usually runs a(n) |
USPshnik [31]

Answer: Experiment.

Explanation:

Suppose that we have two related variables, A (independent) and B (dependent)

We could design an experiment where we can manipulate the value of A at will, and we also can observe how the variable B changes.

This is called an experiment, where the objective is to see how the variable B is related to the variable A, and then try to make a model that explains this relationship.
