Answer:

1. sphincter muscle and dilator muscle

2. Axial skeleton

Explanation:

1.The iris in the human eye is responsible for controlling the exposure of of light that reaches the retina. The movement of iris is controlled by a muscles called sphincter muscle and dilator muscle. sphincter muscle constricts the pupil in bright light while dilator muscle expands the pupil.

2.  Sternum belongs to the axial skeleton, which is a long flat bone located in the central part of the chest. Axial skeleton consists of 80 bones and strenum is one of them. Axial skeleton functions to provide protection to vital organs such as brain, heart and lungs. Strenum functions to protect heart.

How does the number of generations per year influence the likelihood of seeing a response to natural selection once a new host p
AysviL [449]

Answer:

As the generations are increasing or gets much over time, we have a more likelihood of seeing a response to natural selections as the favourable alleles are going to be moved from one generation to the next while those that are not favourable would be eliminated over generations.

If the new host gives allowance for early reproduction and ease of access then the generations each year would rise.

Scientists seeking to determine which molecule is responsible for the transmission of characteristics from one generation to the
worty [1.4K]
A) DNA fulfils all three conditions:
<span>(1) copy itself precisely - in the process of replication, DNA copies itself and two molecules of DNA are formed. This process is very precise thanks to the great number of proteins involved in these process that prevents error occurring and proteins that can fix the error if it occurs.
(2) be stable but able to be changed - DNA is very stable molecule otherwise, it cannot be a genetic material. However, its chains can separate in a short length so the translational machinery can attach to it and the process of transcription can occur. Also, in crossing over, during meiosis, </span>the exchange of genetic material occurs and chromosomes change a bit.<span>
(3) be complex enough to determine the organism’s phenotype - it contains a number of genes responsible for different traits. All of this results in the </span>organism’s phenotype.


B) DNA copies itself. <span>Meselson and Stahl conducted the experiments on DNA replication in which they used </span>E. coli<span> bacteria as a model system. After they labelled all bacteria's DNA with heavy 15N by using medium with heavy 15N, they switched bacteria to medium with light 14N. After several generations, all bacteria's DNA was labelled with light 14N. This experiment evidenced that the self-replication of DNA is semi-conservative process.</span>
