You have several hives of honeybees, Apis mellifera, that you keep in your backyard. Some bees uncap and remove dead larvae from

cells, while others leave dead larvae in the cells; this difference is genetically determined. After a particularly hot summer in which many bees die from disease, you notice that the only hives remaining are the ones in which bees uncap and remove dead larvae. You have witnessed
A. a population-level change in the frequency of a behavioral trait
B. evolution by natural selection
C. a new species forming
D. A and B

Answer:

D. A and B

Explanation:

Some <em>Apis mellifera </em>bees genetically inherit the hygienic behaviour to remove the dead and diseased larvae from beehives by uncapping the sealed cells. This activity maintains the overall health of the bee colony by protecting it from unwanted pests and pathogenic diseases. Usually both hygienic and non hygienic bees survive well.

Here, in hot summer many bees had perished due to disease and hot climate. Accumulation of dead larvae in hives of non hygienic bees would have invited more pathogens and created infectious conditions in summer. Hence their hives could not survive. Now the remaining hygienic bees will mate with each other and the offspring will have more chances to be born with the hygienic trait. Hence the frequency of alleles determining this trait will increase in this population. This would also be an example of natural selection as hygienic bees were preferred by the nature over non hygienic ones to survive in hot season.

What are the structures and functions of the tissues lining the respiratory organs?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

1-The respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. It includes your airways, lungs and blood vessels. The muscles that power your lungs are also part of the respiratory system. These parts work together to move oxygen throughout the body and clean out waste gases like carbon dioxide.

2-The fluid represents the outermost layer of the alveolar surface that is directly exposed to air and thus to the environment. Alveolar fluid prevents desiccation of the epithelial cells and also functions as a physical protection barrier against inhaled particles and irritants.

3-The main function of surfactant is to lower the surface tension at the air/liquid interface within the alveoli of the lung. This is needed to lower the work of breathing and to prevent alveolar collapse at end-expiration.

4-The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally becoming microscopic. The bronchioles eventually end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli.

Background: Cells are so small that their existence went unnoticed until the microscope was invented. The microscope allows scie
larisa [96]

When the cell increases in size, the volume increases faster than the surface area, because volume is cubed where surface area is squared. When there is more volume and less surface area, diffusion takes longer and is less effective.

Blood contains numerous biconcave cells called ____________ , contained in a featureless matrix called ____________
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:   Blood contains numerous biconcave cells called erythrocyte , contained in a featureless matrix called plasma

Explanation:

Blood is a liquid contain in the body of man and animals that transport the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the cell and then takes away metabolic waste from the cell. There are numerous cells in the body which are the Red blood cells and also the red blood cell.

This red blood cell is also called erythrocyte which is the numerous biconcave cells. This white blood cells and erythrocytes are   all in the blood plasma. Both the erythrocytes  (i.e red blood cell) and the white blood cell are all contained in a featureless matrix called the plasma.

This plasma is made up of blood, water, carbon dioxide, dissolved proteins,  and hormones.
