Answer:
Evolution is driven by rare mutations that occur in the DNA of organisms. These mutations could be lethal, neutral and some advantageous. The lethal mutations cannot exist in a population because the offspring is unable to survive to term in pregnancy or dies just after birth. The neutral are ones that do not considerably affect the organisms – though they could result in a disadvantage. The beneficial ones are the one that is kept in the population by natural selection because they confer an advantage e.g in the fight for resources or escaping predation and etcetera. Therefore, it's like a game of chances by nature. Paleontologists discover many species of organisms some of which are imperfect because nature produced them but they died off because their mutations gave them a disadvantage against better-adapted individuals.
The <em>Tiktaalik</em> fish from 375 million years ago became extinct because it did not well-developed eardrum for detecting vibrations in water which is significant in survival.
Dinosaurs during development of feathers had many imperfect species before the right wings for flight were conjured up by nature. An imperfect species is the <u><em>Tianyulong confucius</em></u> had stiff feathers that lacked vanes hence were not ideal for flight
It depends on the season, but anywhere in the tropics (between 23.5 degrees North and 23.5 South) at high noon, when the sun is at the highest point in the sky.
Answer:
The correct answer is - develop new methods to test the hypothesis.
Explanation:
Human produce offsprings long time and development also take a long time in general and then to test a hypothesis, regarding the gene therapy helps to treat a disease, would take even more time.
So testing this hypothesis required developing a new method as other options are not possible. You can not change the time it takes in reproduction. Giving up is not the option in science.
The reaction is most likely to slow down or not occur as the enzymes will be denatured and their active site will not be able to fit onto the substrate of the molecule.
The Philippine Sea plate is tectonically unusual in that almost all the boundaries are convergent. The Pacific plate is subducting beneath the Philippine Sea plate to the east while the west/northwestern part of the Philippine Sea plate is subducting beneath the continental Eurasian plate.
