(70pts) Recall the story of Three Blind Mice where the farmer’s wife cuts off the mouse tails with a carving knife. Because of t

heir tailless condition, the farm cat can’t catch the tailless mice which allows them to be better able to survive and reproduce than the tailed mice.
Using only the information given in this problem, explain what will happen to this population of mice over time (50 years)

Answer:

What will happen to the population of mice that it will keep growing at a tremendous rate without a fear of being caught by a predatory. This will increase the population curve of mice but will decrease the population curve of the cat at similar speed.

What else can happen is that cats will no longer be depending on Mice for their food and they will be finding some alternate food host.

What else can happen is the trait of tailless cannot  be favored by environment as proposed by Lamarack in his theory of evolution that if organism acquires some favorable trait during his life then it is possible that he will pass this trait to offspring. Though this trait is not naturally induced therefore,  there are no chances that tailless mice can born and nature choose it as a favorable trait.

In 1880 August weismenn did experiment of similar nature, he cut off the tails of 20 successive generations of mice abut not a single tailless mouse was born. Therefore, he proved that until nature selects some traits, they are not that easily passed from one generation to another if induced by human.

Conclusion: <em>Therefore, after 50 generation mice will be just like parent mice with tails however they will have good population and less predators.</em>


Hope it help!

Answer:

According to the image shown, the country that most closely resembles the population pyramid by age is the United States (option A).

Explanation:

The population pyramid consists of a bar chart that groups the population by age and sex. Each sex is separated into two columns, while from the base to the top the ages are grouped from lowest to highest.

The pyramid by age shown in the image corresponds to a developed country, such as the United States, since the distribution of the population of infants and young people is proportional, being more acute in the advanced ages, acquiring the shape of a bottle.

The "bottle" shape of the population pyramid indicates a controlled birth rate, as well as good availability of basic and sanitary resources, characteristic of a developed country like the United States.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     C and D. In developing countries such as </em><u><em>Nigeria and Ethiopia</em></u><em>, the birth rate is high - forming a broad base - and the resources available are limited, so there is a progressive decrease as the age groups are distributed, giving a true pyramid shape. </em>

<em>     B. </em><u><em>Italy</em></u><em>, a European country, has a tendency to rhomboidal population pyramids. This is due to a predominance of adult, young and mature, population, low birth rate, good basic and sanitary resources.</em>

Two or more Atoms joined together by shared electrons form
Anvisha [2.4K]

Atoms come together to form molecules because of their electrons. Electrons can join (or bond) atoms together in two main ways. When two atoms share electrons between them, they are locked together (bonded) by that sharing. These are called covalent bonds
