Imagine you are standing in a field and you see a group of butterflies. You notice that the butterflies are not identical to eac

h other even though they are all from the same species and the same population. One day you notice an individual that looks noticeably different from the other butterflies in the population. It has much larger wings and can fly faster than the other butterflies. This difference allows the butterfly to escape predation more efficiently than other butterflies in the population. The difference came about because this butterfly spent more time developing in warm moist areas of the habitat than other butterflies. Do you expect the following generations to be composed of butterflies with larger wings? a) Yes, this trait is advantageous so more butterflies will choose to develop in warm moist areas of the habitat. b) Yes, this represents a genetic mutation that will be passed onto offspring. c) No, this represents non-heritable variation caused by the environment. d) No, this represents heritable variation but this trait does not increase ability to mate so will not be passed to the next generation.

The correct answer is:  b) Yes, this represents a genetic mutation that will be passed onto offspring.  

A random mutation in a gene occurred and led to differences in the ability to escape predation. This feature of the butterfly is now advantageous, because allows them better survival. Since it is a heritable variation it will be passed to the offspring.

What allows scientists to predict future climate change with some sense of accuracy?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Climate models can show the composition of the atmosphere in the future.

Explanation:

Climate models help predict how the average conditions will change in a region and they also serve as an extension of weather forecasting. They are quite broad and can make analysis and predictions over long time spans.

These models are generated from some set of mathematical principles with different data points numbering over a thousand. These large data points help increase the accuracy of the models.

Which of these definitions have been paired with the correct type of cell?
patriot [66]

Answer:

B. Neurons are cells that conduct electrical impulses.

Explanation:

Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells protect against pathogens and aid in blood clotting after injury. Blood cells cannot contract.

Neurons generate and conduct electrical impulses. So this one is correct.

Epithelial cells line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs, protect underlying tissue, regulate the exchange of chemicals, and secrete various substances. They do not react to stimuli, however neurons do.

Smooth muscles helps the skeleton move, smooth muscle is found in blood vessels and some organs, and cardiac muscle helps the heart beat and pump blood. They are however, not components of blood.

A letter about the evidence of evolution
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

I am writing this in response to a letter regarding evolution. Evolution is increasingly solid, not shaky. Darwin’s “theory” or explanation was a way of understanding what he had discovered (which did not include genes, chromosomes, DNA or nucleotide bases). Our explanations now include genetics and the commonality of mutation.  

Proofs are solid, not in question by serious scientists. Direct observation is one, which we see in the fact that this year’s flu evolved a little too far from last year’s, so flu shots are less effective this year than we would like them to be.  

Fossils tell the story well: whales with legs, dinosaurs with feathers and Tiktaalik. The latter was found in the Canadian north and is part fish, part amphibian, before there were ever any amphibians. Imperfection is a good proof: think of your useless appendix, the very bad design of your ankles, knees, and back (talk to a chiropractor about that).  You have big toes because they used to be useful thumbs for your grasping feet.

Many other animals and even plants similarly have flaws that show their evolutionary past. Two large human chromosomes reflect the coming together of two chimpanzee chromosomes each.

Hope it helps,

Please mark me as the brainliest

Thank you
