What is natural selection (not from google) give an example of what natural selection is
ruslelena [56]
Natural selection is nature’s way of keeping the best fit-to-live things alive, and so on continue to the next generations.

For example, if a rabbit has a limp, it is bound to be out run and eaten by a predator relatively early in its life (unless it is extremely lucky.) Because of this, it is unable to reproduce, and there genes that it contained to have its limp are unable to spread through inheritance. Natural selection goes both ways. For example, if a hawk has very god vision, it will be able to scope out its prey easily, so it will thrive. Therefore, when it produces offspring of its own, its trait of good eyesight will pass on to its offspring.

So, as enough time goes on, the bad traits will be weeded out and the good ones will remain.

When looking at an active metabolite of a medication, such as 9-hydroxyrisperidone (paliperidone), how does it differ from the p
cluponka [151]

Paliperidone has low affinity for lipid-rich environments compared from the parent compound risperidone. Due to its hydrophilicity characteristic, paliperidone is capable of hydrogen bonding with other molecules containing water and hydroxyl groups. Lipophilicity is a determining factor for the rate and degree of metabolism of the drug in the body and for crossing the blood–brain barrier (BBB).

Moreover, these differences are implicated in synaptic plasticity and neuronal firing effects in the mechanism of mitochondrial movement, protein expression, and phosphorylation of the drug. Paliperidone as a mood stabilizer is an active metabolite of risperidone with antipsychotic effects used for the treatment of schizophrenia and its associated disorders.

Gekata [30.6K]
I think when a traffic light malfunctions you should treat the malfunctioning light as stop sign. There are many reasons for why a stop light will stop working or malfunction. mostly this happens if the electricity goes out or one of the bulbs in the signal dies. Malfunctioning traffic signs may be dangerous and many drivers find them confusing.
