Imagine you are standing in a field and you see a group of butterflies. You notice an individual that looks significantly differ

ent from the other butterflies in the population. It has much larger wings and can fly faster than the other butterflies. This difference allows the butterfly to escape predation more efficiently than other butterflies in the population. The difference came about because this butterfly spent more time developing in an area of the habitat that is particularly warm and moist and had more food available than other areas. Do you expect the following generations to be composed of butterflies with larger wings?A. Yes, this represents a genetic mutation that will be passed onto offspring.
B. No, this represents heritable variation but this trait does not increase ability to mate so will not be passed to the next generation.
C. Yes, this trait is advantageous so more butterflies will choose to develop in warm moist areas of the habitat.
D. No, this represents nonheritable variation caused by the environment.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

<u>The correct answer should be no, because the variation displayed by the butterfly is due to the environment and not due to genetics.</u>

Variations can be caused by the environment where organisms inhabit or by genes in the system of the organism. Variations that are due to the environment cannot be passed on to the next generation while those that are due to genes can be inherited by subsequent generations.

<em>The variation observed in the significantly different butterfly as shown in the illustration is due to the fact that it spent time developing in an area of the habitat that is warm, moist, and has more food available when compared to other areas. The variation is, therefore, due to the environment only and not genetics.</em>

The correct option is D.

Patent fingerprints, or visible fingerprints, are left on a smooth surface when blood, ink, or some other liquid comes in contac
lana [24]

Answer:

Answer is option A (True).

Explanation:

The fingerprint pattern of an individual is unique as no two individuals have the same pattern and it remains unchanged. So fingerprints are considered as one of the main types of physical evidence that can be recovered from a crime scene for identification purposes.

The three types of fingerprint impressions are;

Patent fingerprints or visible fingerprints - They are visible prints that are left on a smooth surface of another object when foreign substances such as blood, ink, or some other liquid present on the skin of a finger come in contact with the surface. These prints are easily identifiable and are visible with the naked eye without any technological enhancements.

Plastic prints - They are visible, three-dimensional prints that are left on soft surfaces such as freshly painted surfaces or materials like wax, gum, clay, soap, etc when a finger comes in contact with that surface resulting in an indentation. These prints are easily observable and no enhancement is required.

Latent prints - They are invisible fingerprint impressions that are left on a surface as a result of the perspiration, moisture or oil found in the ridges of fingers. Since they are not visible to the naked eye, enhancement is required upon their collection.
