Answer:

Meiosis

Explanation:

All living organisms reproduce i.e. replicate themselves by producing young ones. However, they either do this sexually or asexually. Asexual reproduction involves the contribution of only one of the parent while sexual reproduction involves the two parent's contribution.

In sexual reproduction, a process of gamete formation called MEIOSIS occurs whereby the parental cell produces reproductive daughter cells that have a reduced number of chromosome (by half). The male and female gamete unites in sexual-reproducing organisms to form the offsprings.

Since only one parent is needed in asexual reproduction, there is no need for formation of gametes, hence, meiosis (a division only for reproductive cells) does not occur. The parent simply divides into its progeny.

Answer:

Although these two animals are both bears, clearly they are entirely different. Becasue they live in pretty much opposite environments, they developed individual traits so they could survive, which is called adaption. While the polar bear's thick fur and fat serve as great protection against the cold, it wouldn't be very helpful in hot climates. And the sun bear, with it's short hair and lack of protection, would freeze to death in the polar bear's environment. Each animal, over time, has to develop new traits that allow it to adapt to it's particular environment.

Alisiya [41]

B.  the speed of the water

Explanation:

The independent variable here is the speed of the water being poured through the tube.

An independent variable is the variable is the whose change does not rely on another.

  • The speed of the water is the cause of the sand deposition.
  • This is the independent variable.
  • The quantity of sand that is deposited is the dependent variable.
  • It relies on the speed of the water.
  • The dependent variable is the effect of the speed of water being poured.

What is adaptation in animals and plants
Lerok [7]
Adaptation is when a plant or animal make modifications to their body to survive in an altered environment. For example, the snow foxes' fur changes depending on the seasons. Another example would be blueberries. They develop thorns in order to protect the berries the plant grows.
Pretty much all plants adapt. If you pay attention, when you put a plant next to the window, and when there's no sunlight shining on it, you should notice that it will start to lean toward the sun.

Evolution is change in a population over time and includes the gene pools of that population. How does biogeographic isolation a
lapo4ka [179]
Biogeographic isolation means that a population is separated and there are two populations in two different areas. As normal mutations take place, but certain mutations will be seen as advantageous in the different areas. For. Example if an area had taller trees the organism may develop a gene to grow taller. This is then passed down to offspring. This process continues so that more gene differences are created within the species and the frequency of these alleles increased: leading to two different species developing-
