Answer:

C. When exposed to antibiotics, most bacteria in a population die but some survive and live to reproduce.

Explanation:

Darwin suggested natural selection as the mechanism that explained the evolution of species. This idea states that a population of individuals living in a certain environment is adapted to thrive in it. However, if there is a change in the environment, individuals must adapt in order to survive, otherwise they will die. Only a handful of individuals which had a particular (and random) variation before the change of the envirnonment will be able to adapt and survive. If the variation is heritable, the next generation will have that same trait and will be able to thrive in the new environment.

In the answer C., a population of bacteria is composed of some individuals which are susceptible to the antibiotic and some individuals that are resistand because they possess a mutation in their DNA that allows them to survive an environment with antibiotics. If no antibiotic is present, then both types of bacteria can survive. However, if they are exposed to the antibiotic, the previously resistant bacteria are the only ones that will be able to survive and reproduce.

How many grams are NaCl are required to prepare 200 mL of a 3.10 M solution?
rodikova [14]

The mass (in grams) of NaCl required to prepare the solution is 36.27 g

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity is defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Molarity = mole / Volume

<h3>How to determine the mole of NaCl</h3>
  • Volume = 200 mL = 200 / 1000 = 0.2 L
  • Molarity = 3.1 M
  • Mole of NaCl =?

The mole of NaCl in the solution can be obtained as follow:

Molarity = mole / Volume

Cross multiply

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of NaCl = 3.1 × 0.2

Mole of NaCl = 0.62 mole

<h3>How to determine the mass of NaCl </h3>

We can obtain the mass of NaCl needed to prepare the solution as follow:

  • Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol
  • Mole of NaCl = 0.62 mole
  • Mass of NaCl = ?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Cross multiply

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of NaCl = 0.62 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 36.27 g

A. Most people thought that trillium was not getting enough sunlight in the forest.

Explanation – Scientists used to believe that the population of trillium decreased because there were not enough sunlight to reach these plants. Later, it was found that deer used to eat the flowers of trillium plant that led to the decrease of its population.

The seed of the trillium plant is very nutritious and hence consumed by the deer. Because of this, trilliums were found to be unlikely to recolonize local areas on their own.
