Though this is a joke, it's based on the scientific experiment Martin was about to conduct before he passed away- the hypotheses is that if you dump enough iron fillings into the ocean, it will spur the growth of the P<span>hytoplankton (of which would take in the CO2) and could possibly lead to a global cooling.</span>

Why should/shouldn't Pluto be reclassified as a planet?​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(This could be opinion based, but ok.)

Explanation:

should:Pluto was known as a planet for 75 years. This means that most people already knew it as a planet, and would be extremely confused. All of the books about planets would be inaccurate and changed. Not all people can access brand new books, leading to inaccurate information.

shouldn't: The same reason that it was unclassified as a planet. It does not adhere to all of the rules of being a planet. It is not completely round and does not have a round orbit around the sun. Pluto does not have every requirement to be a real planet, and therefor, it would be incorrect to have it classified wrongly.

Which of the following are NOT correct based on Darwin's theory of evolution?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.
