What is the relationship between the Kuiper Belt and the status of Pluto today?

Biology
1 answer:
pentagon [3]2 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is B. The Kuiper Belt is home to a dwarf planet similar to Pluto

Explanation

The Kuiper Belt is the most remote area of the solar system, it is an elliptical region, which is more or less 149.5 million kilometers from the sun. Its name refers to the fact that it is a belt, so it could be associated with the appearance of the asteroid belt that is located between Mars and Jupiter. However, in the Kuiper Belt most objects are icy rather than rocky. In this region of the solar system you can find several dwarf planets such as Pluto, these planets are classified as such because their size is enough to be considered as or asteroids, but they cannot be considered planets either because they do not meet any requirement. According to the above, the correct answer is B. The Kuiper Belt is home to a dwarf planet similar to Pluto

What is the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules
Jet001 [13]
The hydrophilic molecules are the polar molecules which establishes the hydrogen bonding with the water molecules. Hence the hydrophilic molecules are water loving molecules. The hydrophobic molecules are unable to establish any hydrogen bonding with the water molecules. Hence the hydrophobic molecules are water repellent molecules.

Each biological species is genetically isolated from other species. why do the species evolve independently?
Nookie1986 [14]
Species evolve independently possibly due to geographical isolations or behavioural isolations.

Geographical isolation includes the isolation of 2 groups of the same species. Since these 2 groups live in different locations, (e.g. a volcanic eruption resulting in a barrier between one side of an ocean and another side of the ocean), they will have different selection pressures in their different environments as well (e.g. one side of the ocean may have more sunlight and thus more underwater plantations than the other side of the ocean). Natural selection will eliminate those with disadvantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes that only eat plants and nothing else on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with unfavourable alleles, and select for those with advantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes are able to eat plants and other organic substances as well on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with favourable alleles.

Since the 2 groups have different selection pressures, natural selection will occur in different ways, selecting for and against different types of fishes with different types of alleles. Also, because of the barrier, they are not able to mate with each other, and there are no mixing of genes from one side of the ocean and the other side. They are genetically isolated. As genetic drift occurs over time, their gene pools become different from each other. Thus, they evolve independently.

Hope this helps! :)
