Nothing

Explanation:

Mass of the sample = 500g

Decay rate per anum = 11%

Unknown:

Mass of sample remaining after 10yrs = ?

Solution:

  This is a simple percentages problem;

The radioactive sample loses \frac{11}{100 } x 500g of sample per year;

  this is a loss of 55g per year;

In 10years time, the sample would have lost 10 x 55g = 550g of element.

Since our sample is not up to 550g, then no amount of sample will remain after 10yrs.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

It ocurred a selection by allopatric speciation

Explanation:

The allopatric speciation refers to the evolution in which the same specie starts developing different characteristics because of geographic barrers and this characteristics after some time generates two different specie.

It happens because usually according to the environment or the predators, species have to develop different adaptations so they can survive. In this case we have two different types of camouflage adaptations made by the salamanders acording to the conditions so for one specie it is better to camouflage from the predator mean while to the other is better to use lived colors to seem as it is a poisonous animal and in this way avoid the predators.

So you can see the same specie develop different strategies to survive because of a geographic separation, generating an allopatric speciation.

Which option identifies the kind of food represented in the following scenario?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Minimally processed

Explanation:

Foods are said to be minimally processed when they undergo a little treatment so as to preserve them. These treatments might involve the application of heat, drying, and refrigeration so as to preserve them before consumption. Most fresh-cut fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, dairy products, etc., fall under this range.

These kind of foods still contain a good amount of their nutrients as their original content are not lost due to excessive processing.

What is the mechanism of natural selection?
borishaifa [10]
The answer is D. The natural selection is a theory which illustrates the gradual process of evolution in the population due to the change of environment. The key point is the mutation (variation) exists in the population before the environment changing. For C, if the environment does not change, though the adaptation is useful to environment, it will not be selected. Because the organisms without the adaptation will not die.
