Answer:

1. Intraspecific

2. speciation

3. fossil record

4. The fossil record provides empirical evidence for evolution because it shows that species now aren't the same as species that existed in the past and that small changes happen over time to create new species.

5. A geographic variation in the fossil record occurs when two similar organisms occupy the same time span in two different places. These organisms hold the same purpose within the overall ecology.

6. A more detailed fossil record is preferable for supporting evolution because it allows for the instances of gradual change to be recorded and placed into broader speciation events.

7. Fossils provide a great many intermediaries that connect past species with their living descendants.

8. Intraspecific competition is competition that occurs within species. This is the competition that drives natural selection.

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about genetic recombination. involves the transfer of genetic material from one
Tresset [83]

The right matches are:

• Involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

• Involves scraps of genetic material ==> Transformation.

• Uses a virus to transmit genetic material ==> Transduction.

• Uses a pilus to transmit genetic information ==> Conjugation.

• Introduces new genetic material to a bacterium ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

In molecular biology the term genetic recombination is often used as a synonym for DNA recombination, that is, the processes by which one DNA (or RNA) molecule is cut off, then joined to another.

There are three possible mechanisms in the bacterium: bacterial conjugation, bacterial transformation and transduction.

The cane toad, or Rhinella marina, was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands in 1932 by sugar cane farmers. The farmers released th
butalik [34]
The answer is invasive species.

<span>Invasive species are species that are not native to the specific ecosystem, but they are capable of spreading widely through the ecosystem. This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm. 
</span>

<span>After being introduced into the Hawaiian Islands, the cane toads greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they have a few natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction of some native species.</span>

Non-primates have fewer digits (i.e. fingers and toes) compared to primates in order to:______.
marishachu [46]

c. run faster is the correct option

Primates have large brains and dexterous limbs. Non-primates have small brains and inflexible limbs. The main differences between primates and non-primates are the size of the brain and the flexibility of the limbs.

Humans are primates and are a diverse group containing about 200 species. Monkeys, lemurs, and apes are our cousins, and we have all evolved from a common ancestor over the last 60 million years.

Primates: Humans, apes, monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas, baboons, and orangutans are examples of primates.

Non-primates: Birds, reptiles, amphibians, and some mammals are not primates.
