Answer:
The organism will pass on the traits to their offspring. If the offspring also has an increased chance of survival it will have a higher chance of passing on the traits. Over a long period of time the entire population can inherit this trait.
Explanation:
According to the theory of natural selection organisms with beneficial traits are more likely to survive to the reproductive stage and pass on the beneficial gene to their offspring. <em>Natural selection selects beneficial traits.</em>
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
1. The data from the experiment shows that <u>as the percentage of salt in the solution used to water the plants increased, the growth rate of the plants decreased</u>. As the percentage increased from A to D, the change between the average initial and the final heights decreased, meaning that an increase in the percentage of the salt in the solution used to water the plants had a negative impact on the growth rates of the plants.
2. Due to the solutions used to water the plants in groups E and F being more concentrated (hypertonic) to that of the cell sap of the plant, <u>water molecules diffused out of the cell sap to the ambient solution</u>. As time goes by, the plants lose too much water, become wilted, and died off eventually. Instead of water molecules to keep diffusing into the plants in order for them to grow, the reverse was occurring and this led to their death.
Answer and explanation;
The hydrophobic effect is the observed tendency of non-polar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and exclude water molecules. Hydrophobic interaction is mostly an entropic effect originating from the disruption of highly dynamic hydrogen bonds between molecules of liquid water by the non-polar solute.
Introduction of such a non-hydrogen bonding surface into water causes disruption of the hydrogen bonding network between water molecules.
Water dissolves molecules (proteins and nucleic acids) that display on their solvent-accessible surfaces groups that can h-bond [hydroxyl, carbonyl, ester groups; they're polar uncharged...also charged groups; protonated amines, carboxylates and phosphate ethers.
Molecules with internal h-bonds dissolve in water, some/all internal h-bonds may be in dynamic exchange with h-bonds in water
.
Polar nature of water contributes to ability to dissolve non-ionic polar organic molecules, such as phenols, esters, amides; have large dipole moments and interaction with water dipole promotes solubility in water.
