<span>It is True - Sand that extends from a coast into open water is called a barrier spit.

Barrier spits are formed when there is a deposit on the shoreline due to the lateral movement of water.

The waves are known to hit the shoreline at a particular angle which cause the lateral movement of water accompanied with the sedimentation along the coastline in the direction of the wave motion.</span>

According to the principle of _______, a change in one species in a community results in a change in another.

Monica [59]

The correct answer is coevolution.

The term is used to illustrate the conditions where two or more species communally influence each other’s evolution. For example, an evolutionary modification in the morphology of a plant may influence the morphology of a herbivore that consumes it, this, in turn, may influence the evolution of the plant that might influence the evolution of the herbivore and so on.

Coevolution most possibly takes place when distinct species have a close ecological association with each other. These ecological associations include parasite/host and predator/prey, mutualistic species, and competitive species.

After doing PCR on the same region between two individuals, you notice that each person's DNA yielded pieces of different sizes.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

C. This is an example of VNTRs.

Explanation:

VNTRs are Variable Number Tandem Repeats. These are short sequences of DNA repeated in tandem (that is, the sequences are repeated one next to the other) a certain number of times. Unrelated individuals have a different number of repetitions for a certain region of the DNA, therefore the total length of the fragment is variable among individuals, depending on how many times the short sequence is repeated.
