Evolution is the gradual process resulting in the changes in the genetic material of a population over generations. The mechanism that Darwin proposed for evolution is the process of natural selection. Natural selection is the key mechanism of evolution which increases the frequency of advantageous alleles in a population.  Due to the limited resources in nature, organism with heritable traits favoring their survival and reproduction produce more offspring. It causes the population to become adapted to their environment and results in organisms with better survival ability and reproduction. These traits become heritable due to the reproductive advantage and are passed from the parents to the offspring. Over generations, the advantageous heritable trait becomes dominant in the population. It is responsible for the variation in the gene pool of the population which increases their fitness.

You have a cup of vegetable oil and a vial full of normal phospholipids. What would you predict would happen if you dropped the
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The phospholipid will form a sphere with the heads inside

Explanation:

Phospholipids are glycerol molecules containing two Fatty acids that is hydrophobia and a hydrophillic negatively charged phosphate.

The phosphate forms the head and the two fatty acids will form the tail

When phospholipid is dropped into a cup of vegetable oil (a lipid). The phospholipid will form a sphere with the heads inside. This is because the heads are hydrophillic and cannot dissolve in the fat hence they will cluster together.

Scientists have conducted multiple experiments on cancer cells to determine how they reproduce. All
Ber [7]
I’d say the last one, the cancer cells lack inhibition and the do not stop reproducing. The rest of the answers don’t really make sense. The cancer cells can be controlled with chemotherapy so the first one is definitely wrong. And I do not believe that they contain stem cells. The last one is right because the reason cells become cancerous is because their growth inhibitors are broken or switched off, so they do not know when to stop growing and it becomes a problem for the body.

The instructions, or 'code', in our DNA is dependent upon the order of the _____ in the DNA
dsp73

Answer:

C. Bases

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA, is the a type of nucleic acid that serves as the genetic material in living organisms. DNA holds information or instructions needed for the synthesis of useful products like proteins that is responsible for growth, reproduction, and general survival of organisms. Hence, it is referred to as the "BLUEPRINT OF LIFE".

However, in the structure the of the DNA molecule, it contains certain monomeric building blocks called NUCLEOTIDES. These nucleotide bases are of four types namely: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. It is upon these order of nucleotide bases that instructions, or 'code', in our DNA is dependent upon.
