Biology
1 answer:
Andrews [41]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

when you Observe, you describe what you are seeing at the moment. so observation means seeing.

inference is the result you receive by observation.

for example, "I threw a stick and the dog ran after it and brought it back to me" this is an observation. you don't mention the reason why the dog brought you the stick. you just describe what happened!

but if you say, "the dog was trained to bring back the stick." you are mentioning the reason of the dog's behavior and that's inference.

Explain how natural selection could lead to a change (evolution) of a whole population.
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Natural selection is an adaptative mechanism that modifies gene frequencies (allele frequencies) in the whole population across generations

Explanation:

According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, natural selection is the main process that leads to evolution. Natural selection can be defined as a mechanism through which populations adapt and change. The organisms better adapted to their environment will have more chances to survive and reproduce, and therefore they will pass their genes (and favorable traits) to the next generation. This process is able to modify the allele frequencies in the whole population, thereby changing and adapting (i.e., evolving) across generations.

Cory is a 20-year-old woman who is not sure about leaving home, about going to college, or about dating mike. cory would be cons
Licemer1 [7]

Cory is reluctant to leave her home and attend college despite just being finished with her teenage years. Usually, the people of this age are explorative and are trying to find their identity in the world separately, but Cory seems to stay isolated even from Mike, which indicates that she might be going through the stage of stress. Stress makes a person to avoid any kind of interaction with other people and inhibits the urge to explore the life outside one's comfort zone. So, Cory is going through the stress stage.
