Answer:

Heat breaks the bond and denatures the protein.

Explanation:

Protein are made up of the polymers of amino acids. The amino acids are linked together by the peptide bond for the formation of the protein molecule.

Denaturation means the treatment of the proteins at high pH, heat and other conditions that causes the loss of biological activity of the protein. The cooking of the egg at high temperature breaks the protein bonds and distort the protein structure. This causes the denaturation of the protein present in the egg and makes the protein white and hard.

This happens because heat destroys the bonds between the amino acids and it changes the proteins structure.

Peahens prefer to mate with peacocks that have the brightest and largest tail displays. The peacock’s tail is a disadvantage to
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Peacock with larger tails are most likely to produce more progeny.

Explanation:

Sexual selection is a type of natural selection wherein individuals with some specific genetic traits are preferred as a mate for interbreeding by the individuals of the opposite gender of the same species. For instance, in some species, males with large size have a greater chance to mate and pass on their genes to the progeny. This results in an increased frequency of the genes for the larger body size in population over time. Therefore, sexual selection results in the reproductive advantage for some individuals over others of the same species and sex.

In the given example, a peacock with larger tails is preferred as a mate by peahens and is able to produce more offspring. Due to its reproductive advantage, larger tails in peacocks are not selected against by natural selection.

A controlled experiment is designed to minimize the effects of the variables other than the independent variable. A controlled experiment allows reliable results because he can do the experiment specific to the problem and variables involved.
