The modern synthesis brought together Darwin's theory of evolution with Mendelian genetics. Why was this so important?

Biology
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]2 years ago

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Options for the question are

a.  It demonstrated that nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.

b.  It demonstrated that species arise from other species.

c.  It provided a quantifiable mechanism to explain gradual evolutionary change.

d.  It was the first time that change in biological organisms was observed.

e.  It was not very important to evolutionary biology.

Solution -

The term modern synthesis by coined by Julian Huxley and the goal of this synthesis was to understand and determine how genetics bring evolutionary changes in a population and with this objective it combined the Darwin’s theory of evolution and Mendel’s work on heredity. Later on scientist Dobzhansky under this synthesis found that genetic mutation causes variation through the process of natural selection and hence lead to evolutionary changes in a population even if they are isolated for a long time.  

Hence, option C is correct

Which best describes the offspring of protists?
Hunter-Best [27]

Options found elsewhere:

-always genetically identical to one parent

-always genetically identical to both parents

-never genetically identical to one parent

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Answer:

-sometimes genetically different than both parents

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotes that cannot be classed as animals, plants, or fungi. They are quite diverse. Examples include amoeba, plasmodium, and slime mould.

Because they are so diverse, protists also have very different modes of reproduction. Some protists undergo asexual reproduction, where they simply make a copy of themselves without a mate. Others undergo sexual reproduction.

Therefore, the only option that can be correct is "-sometimes genetically different than both parents" .

If they were always genetically identical to one parent or both parents, that would mean that sexual reproduction could not be possible. If they were never genetically identical to one parent, that would mean that asexual reproduction could not be taking place.

If an area is in the 50+ dBZ range, what atmospheric pressure conditions could the area be experiencing?
monitta

The atmospheric pressure conditions for a 50+ dBZ range differs from small to heavy hails.

Explanation:

dBZ refers to decibel relative to Z used in weather radar most of the times, in order to compare the reflection factor (Z) of a weather radar signal reflected off a remote object  to the return of a droplet of rain with a diameter of 1 mm.

dBZ is a logarithmic dimensionless technical unit, at 55 dBZ and above, most storms have hail which can throw off the rainfall rate because hail has a higher reflection.

Generally above 50 dBZ range the intensity varies accordingly for every 5 points. Such as small hail to moderate hail and from moderate to heavy hail.

Therefore the atmospheric pressure conditions differs from rains to hails.

The plane that separated the body into superior and inferior portions is a sagittal plane.
dybincka [34]

Answer: False  

Explanation:

The saggital plane divides the body into two halves based on the fact that the body is segmented into left and right planes.

The plane may be away or at can lie at the center of the body and it splits the body into parts. It  may be far or close to the midline of the body. It may also split the body into two unequal parts.

The term saggital is coined by Gerard Cremona.
