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.

Hello, Welcome to Brainly.com!




Answer: I don't know if you have any options, but some of her assignments would definitely be the creation of drugs. Since she is a medicinal chemist, it means that she has the necessary knowledge to make medicine, which can later be sold in a pharmacy.

What happens to an enzyme if the temperature varies too far from the enzyme's optimum (or best) temperature?
Fantom [35]
If the temperature is too low, enzyme molecules don’t have enough kinetic energy to collide and combine with other substrate molecules. So the enzyme activity/ reaction rate will be very low. The rate will rise again once the temperature increases to its optimum temperature.

But if the temperature is too high, enzyme will be denatured, which means the shape of the active site of the enzyme is changed. It can no long combine with other substrate molecules. The rate will drop significantly. Yet, lowering the temperature won’t help because denaturation is permanent and irreversible.

Glands that release sweat into hair follicles are called __________.
Agata [3.3K]
<span>Apocrine sweat glands release sweat into hair follicles. Unlike the more common eccrine sweat glands, these are found only in the armpits, anogenital region, ears and eyelids of humans. Unlike eccrine sweat, apocrine sweat doesn't really contribute to cooling the body. Apocrine sweat contains more chemical compounds than eccrine sweat; these feed bacteria on the skin which produce a detectable odor. Apocrine sweat glands become active at puberty and are most active in times of stress and sexual excitement.</span>
