How can you determine the past arrangement of leaves on a bare twig?
Elanso [62]

The determination of the past arrangement of leaves from bare twig  are

  • Flower bud
  • Lateral branching
  • Lateral terminal bud
  • Leaf scar
  • Node
  • Inter node
  • Auxiliary buds
  • Bud scale
  • Terminal bud

<u>Explanation:</u>

Terminal bud:  it is the large bud at the apex of the twig.  Uses of the bud is to protect the dormant meristem.  

Bud scale: a small modified leaf on outside of bud.

Auxiliary bud: It is found just above the each leaf scar. Not all twig will have a full complementary of auxiliary buds. They frequently gets damaged.

Lenticles: Opening in the bark that allows for gas exchange into and out of underlying living tissues.  

Leaf scars: It is present at  the stem for the triangular regions.

Fish lay a large number of eggs, few of which are fertilized and very few of which hatch into young ones. Still fewer live to ma
vazorg [7]
The answer would be survival of the fittest.

This metaphor, "<em>survival of the fittest</em>," was used by Herbert Spencer to explain <em>natural selection. </em>It is sometimes also referred to as the survival for existence. This phrase came from the Dawinian theory of evolution where he explains that all species are capable of producing many offsprings. However, the survival of those offsprings depends on their ability to adapt to the risks and opportunities of the external environment. 
<em>
</em>This relates to your scenario in the sense that fish lay a lot of eggs in the beginning but not all of them would live to achieve maturity. This is because even as eggs, they have many predators and are exposed to other elements. The threat pushes on even if they are able to hatch and grow up.

In the cloning process, identify the role of the organism to be cloned, the egg donor, and the surrogate mother.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: Cloned organism, egg donor, and surrogate mother all contribute to the recombinant technology, and for cases of infertility.

Explanation:

The organism to be cloned is utilized by using its genetic composition extracted from its cells. The egg donor provides the eggs produced after the ovulation cycles which can be used to fertilize with the male gamete and produce embryo in invitro condition and then transferred to the mother's womb where the development is required to be done. A surrogate mother provides her womb for the implantation of the embryo developed outside her body to allow intra-uterine development of the embryo. The surrogate mother can be an animal mammal like female goat, sheep, or even a human female.

salantis [7]
The physical change is when water slowly disappears when the sun shines upon it. Its weight and volume decreases.

The chemical changes is when the plants absorb the energy from the sunlight and convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen gas. Physically, nothing has changed. The plant still looks the same. However, changes occur internally; these internal changes are chemical in nature.

in redi's second experement, what was (a) the independant variable and what was (b) the dependant variable?
aleksley [76]

in redi's second experiment,  the independent variable  is  presence of the gauze, or lack of it, while the dependent variable is appearance of maggots .

<h3>What are independent variable and  independent variable?</h3>

independent variable can be described as the  variable that stands alone and  whereby the  other variables can not impact it when one is trying to measure. For  instance  someone's age  is  independent variable.

On the other hand ,dependent variable are variable that can not stand alone , hence in redi's second experiment,  the independent variable  is  presence of the gauze, or lack of it, while the dependent variable is appearance of maggots .
