Answer:

The given case is an illustration of natural selection. Natural selection refers to the phenomenon on the basis of which the organisms that get amended with the environment, seem to thrive and generate more offspring. The theory was first postulated by Charles Darwin and is now considered to be the prime reason, which results in evolution.  

Similarly, in the given question, the insects who could withstand the environment around them continue to reproduce, in comparison to those who could not cope up with the environment, thus, this would be regarded as an illustration of natural selection.

'Natural selection' can be defined as the process of selection of the organisms who are more evolved and better suited for their surroundings and are capable of producing high number of offsprings. Artificial selection can be defined as the selection of the organisms by the humans to selectively breed whether or not they are suited for the changing surroundings or not. Since, the farmer only introduced the pesticide, and the insects evolved and inherited resistance to the pesticide, this is a case of the natural selection.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

<h2>c. Division of these two groups occurred after the protostome developmental sequence appeared. </h2>

Explanation:

  • Protosomes are such types of organisms in which the mouth part developed first during embryonic development.
  • Those animals in which anus develop first are known as deuterostomes.
  •  This differentiation takes place during the embryonic development of the organisms.
  • Since lophotrochozoan and Ecdysozoa both are protostomes animals and categorized on the basis of molecular evidence.
  • Thus these two groups were formed after the appearance of the protostomes.

which of the following statements regarding enzymes is true? (3 points) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by making the re
ziro4ka [17]

Which is true about enzymes is: enzymes increase the rate of reactions by lowering the activation energy barrier.

Enzymes are chemical compounds in the form of proteins that act as biocatalysts which function to speed up reactions.

Enzymes work specifically, that is, they can only work on certain substrates by adjusting the shape of the substrate. Enzymes sensor with molecules for substrates to produce compounds through organic chemical reactions that require energy. Some of the reactions assisted by enzymes such as the breaking of large molecules into small ones or the binding of molecules into new molecules. Enzymes can do that because of the influence of the activation energy that every chemical reaction has.

Activation energy is the energy required to break down the reactants. The role of enzymes is to lower the activation energy limit needed to start reactions.

Why does a female’s cervix dilate prior to delivering a baby?
cluponka [151]

Effacement: The cervix – which is normally long and thick, measuring about 1-2 inches, starts to get shorter and thinner. This process is known as effacement. As the cervix gets more and more effaced, it gets shorter and shorter and “pulled up” into the lower part of the uterus.

Dilation: At the same time, the cervix softens and begins to open up – known as dilation. This widening, allows a smooth passage for the baby’s head and the rest of the body from the uterus into the vaginal canal.
