Describe ways in which a healthy artery differs from an artery affected by coronary heart disease

Biology
1 answer:
JulsSmile [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A healthy artery is wider and has no blockages. The lumen (which is the hole in the centre of the artery), is open and clear. This means there is more blood flow. An artery of a person suffering from coronary heart disease is often blocked, usually by a fatty deposit. This means the blood does not flow as well. (See diagram, in which I would draw two arteries, one with a blockage of fatty deposit, one clear and healthy).

How does research into natural selection and traits help you understand why some butterflies have coloration that looks like the
QveST [7]

Answer/Explanation:

Natural selection - over time - selects for traits that improve fitness. A butterfly with wing coloration that looks like a hungry owl would certainly be a deterrent to their natural predators, such as smaller birds. This is because the owl is the predator of the smaller birds, and their instinct is to avoid the owl.

If a mutation arose that resulting in coloration that looked like an owl, (or at least slightly menacing) this would be beneficial to the butterfly, as it would be more camouflaged from predators. This means it would be more likely to reach reproductive age and pass the mutation onto its offspring, who would also have a competitive advantage.

Over time, this would lead to a population of butterflies with coloration that looks more and more owl-like .
