Answer:
Let me count a few of the ways…
- Plants do not take life of any kind to sustain their own lives.
- Plants harvest atmospheric carbon dioxide (a waste product), water and sunlight (both ubiquitous and freely available) to produce within themselves the food which nourishes them.
- Plants are born and die in the same place.
- Plants have yet to start a war, perpetrate a genocide, or kill members of their own species over disagreements about mere ideas.
- When plants die, they do not entertain silly notions of a Better Place, somewhere beyond the stars.
Answer:
D. They both decrease genetic variation.
Explanation:
In natural selection, variation happens to produce more fit organisms. The natural selection is a different type such as stabilizing selection, directional selection, and disruptive selection. In both cases, variation occurs but the variation rate is different. Therefore, the common thing between stabilizing selection and disruptive selection is variation. The variation rate is slow in stabilizing selection. Hence in this selection less phenotype characters are seen. In disruptive selection, variation is random and extreme. Thus more phenotype individuals are formed due to disruptive selection.
Answer:
1.) 80 chromosomes in each of the daughter cells. 2.) Two daughter cells are produced. 3.) The daughter cells are identical.
Explanation:
1.) In mitosis, a parent cell divides to form two daughter cells through the mitosis phases creating the same amount of chromosomes for each daughter cell as the parent cell.
2.) The parent cell divides to form the two daughter cells in cytokinesis.
3.) The daughter cells are direct replicas of the chromosomes in the parent cell unless there is a mutation in the DNA when it is being copying.
B) Melting ice would increase the growing season because the temperatures would increase, animals living in certain areas would migrate to others, and certain species that lived on the ice would die.
Answer:
nutrition (obtaining food, to provide matter and energy needed for growth and survival),
metabolism (all the chemical reactions inside cells, including respiration), growth (an
irreversible increase in size), response (responding to stimuli), excretion (removing waste
products of cell metabolism), homeostasis (keeping the conditions inside the organism within
acceptable limits), and reproduction (producing offspring, either asexually or sexually)
