Arteries carry blood (with oxygen) from our heart out to your body, while veins carry blood (without oxygen) from your body to your heart. Arteries are strong, flexible blood vessels that are able to expand (get bigger) and contract (get smaller). They expand as your heart beats, and contract between heart beats. Veins are less flexible than arteries. They have valves (doors) that open and close to let blood through.

There is about 1,000 times as much DNA in a human cell as in a bacterial cell, but only 5 times as many genes. What accounts for
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Phenotypic plasticity

Explanation:

Humans have evolved over thousands of years to adapt to various environmental changes. For example, when we are in an environment that requires certain level of adaptation our off spring often formalizes epigenetic traits that lows them to overcome small changes in the environment. Over time certain genes that are turned on may remain on and eventually the ones that are off remains off. This give rise to some genes that "don't work"  after millions of years of such evolution we end up with a complex genome with more DNA than "working genes".

A grassland is experiencing a severe drought. The lack of rain is causing the grass to die and the ponds and creeks to dry up.
dusya [7]

The population of fish will decrease.

The population of grazing animals will decrease.

<h3>What is drought?</h3>

A drought is a prolonged period without enough precipitation/water to support people, animals or crops.

With less water, fish and other creatures have fewer places to dwell, swim, and evade predators. In the near run, shrinking streams and lakes necessarily result in fewer fish. Drought conditions can cause water temperatures to rise, affecting cold-water species such as native trout.

The population of grazing animals would decrease as the grass is a food source and without their food source, there would be no source of staying meaning that they would result to finding new food sources through migration likely.
