Evolution isn't a steady process. When the environment changes, the organisms have to adapt quickly or perish. A theory known as punctuated equilibrium accounts for this. Any changes in then environment brought on by natural or artificial changes will cause animals to evolve to those changes. It may be that they just have to migrate where the climate is more suitable. When you look at geologic sequences, you can often see the different environments as the climate changed and a new suite of animals and plants took over.
<span>It is fantasy to claim that the "old" environment was stable before humans came along unless you live in the tropics. There was a mile of ice over NYC and Chicago 15 thousand years ago. </span>
<span>Geologic changes can affect evolution by creating population splits which allows for speciation. For example, the thrusting up of a mountain range may cause one population to split into two. The separate populations may then evolve on their own sometimes into new niches. One population may stay relatively similar and the other may change dramatically.</span>
Answer:
ribosomes
When a cell needs to make proteins, it looks for ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. They are like construction guys who connect one amino acid at a time and build long chains.

Answer:
Strong positive
Explanation:
In studies, we usually establish relationships between two or more variables using correlations. Correlations tell us how this variables are related.
- Two variables have a positive correlation when if one increases the other increases too.
- Two variables have a negative correlation when if one increases the other decreases and vice versa.
Also, a correlation can be weak, moderate or strong. Researchers agree that a correlation that is larger than 0.70 should be considered a strong correlation.
In this example Isabella reads about a study saying there's a correlation coefficient of +0.85 between hours spent studying and final exam grade. <u>The fact that the sign of this correlation is "+" tells us that it is positive</u> (the more hours spent studying, the better final exam grade). We can also see that <u>the coefficient is 0.85 which is greater than 0.70 and therefore we can consider this correlation as a strong one.</u>
Thus, Isabella would conclude that this is a strong positive relationship.
Answer:
resistance
Explanation:
There are three stages of the general adaptation syndrome as described by Hans Selye. The first stage is the alarm stage, the second stage is the resistance stage, and the third stage is the exhaustion stage. In the resistance stage, the body tries to either adapt to or resist the stressor. Hormonal changes from the alarm stage are still present in this stage with high levels of blood pressure and glucose in the blood. However the stress hormones levels are being normalized, allowing the body to shift from alertness to normalization or repair.
