An example of a population in which evolution could  take place in a relatively short period of time could be pathogenic bacteria exposed to antibiotics.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Evolution if takes place within a short period of time say the next generation that is called as micro evolution. This is caused when a specific organism exposed in a different environment at once modifies its genes to suit the new environment.  This phenomenon can be very well seen in the pathogenic bacteria which are exposed to antibiotics.

When an antibiotic is prescribed to bacteria initially it nullifies its effect by destroying it. When continuously exposed to a certain antibiotic some bacteria dies but there are few which becomes resistant to it and survives. This on the other hand multiplies producing a generation that can’t be touched by the antibiotic.

The amount of energy at trophic levels one and four in an ecosystem is indicated by the numbers.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

1100

Explanation:

There is 10% of total energy in each increasing trophic level.                    10,000 / 10 = 1,000 ,so there are 1,000 units of energy in trophic level 2.

1,000 / 10 = 100, so there are 100 units of energy in trophic level 3.

1,000 + 100 units of combined energy would be 1,100 units of energy.

Hope this helps!

Which type of bond is found in many carbon-to-carbon bonds in canola oil, but very few carbon-to-carbon bonds in butter?
Novosadov [1.4K]
C=C, the double carbon bond creates a kink in the chain of carbons, and prevents the fats from stacking neatly and forming a solid. The double carbon bonds present in canola oil are why it is a liquid at room temperature, while the lack of such bonds in butter allows for the molecules to lay flat on one another, making butter a solid.
