Explain the process of natural selection: give specific examples.

Leno4ka [110]3 years ago

Natural Selection is: <u>the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.</u>


An example of this is our appendix. We no longer use our appendix because food nowadays is softer than what our ancestors used to eat.

Our ancestors could quickly digest (through their appendix) tree barks because they ate them frequently versus now we don't even use them at all

Natural Selection = The process in which organisms adapt better to their environment in order to survive, produce more offspring.

An example of natural selection would be giraffes. Back in the day, giraffes used to have short necks. Since they had short necks, they were not able to eat as much from tall trees. Over time, their necks grew longer, themselves adapting to the environment in which they lived and they were able to eat from those trees high up and were also able to fight any predators that tried to attack them.

Compare and contrast the genetic material between a bacterium and a fungus. ​
Sati [7]
Bacteria and Fungi come under different categories; the former one is the prokaryotic cell while the latter one is Eukaryotic cells. Apart from this, there are many differences between them like bacteria need a host to live, and they can be autotrophs as well as heterotrophs, whereas fungi grow their own and are heterotrophs which depend on others for their food. Bacteria do not have nuclear membrane enclosing nucleus, while Fungi (eukaryotes) have well- defined nucleus surrounded by the nuclear membrane.

Eukaryotes that are not fungi, animals, or plants are classified in a "catch-all" category called ________. A. archaea B. protis
andre [41]

Eukaryotes that are not fungi, animals, or plants are called protists

Protists can be described as eukaryotes that are not grouped as fungi, animals or plants. These groups of organisms are so wide that there are lots of organisms that fall under this category.

Protists are tiny group of organisms that can only be seen/viewed with the aid of a strong microscope. Protists only have one type of cell and lots of these organisms are found in an aquatic environment.

DNA replication occurs prior to meiosis and _________.
Evgesh-ka [11]
A. Mitosis is the correct answer.

DNA replication occurs in the two major types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis is the splitting of a normal cell into two daughter cells and involves complete replication of the cells DNA to produce two identical copies. Meiosis is a specialised and more complex two-stage form of cellular division related to sex cells and involves DNA replication followed by an exchange of DNA material within/between the chromosomes to mix genes from both parents and produce daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Animal sperms and eggs are examples of cells produced by meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes as normal cells. When combined during fertilization the egg and sperm produce a cell with the full compliment of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis is a part of the cellular life cycle that is related specifically to the division of the cytoplasm (basically the "soup" of material inside the cell). It is part of the cellular division process but not specifically related to nuclear division (i.e. DNA replication).

Transcription relates to the production of RNA from DNA which is then used for protein synthesis. DNA is not replicated during the transcription process, rather, this is a separate process critical for the production of proteins by the cell.

Why does the damage of the nervous system cause paralysis of the body?
Shtirlitz [24]
Paralysis is most often caused by damage in the nervous system, especially the spinal cord. The nervous system is what give signals to the different parts of our body so that if it is damaged signals and messages could not be transported. If the central nervous system is damaged, paralysis frequently affects the movement of a limb as a whole, not the individual muscles.
