Answer: Anything living needs to have certain conditions, if for example a group of flightless birds who are adapted for warm weather had their environment get colder each year and more extreme the surrounding plants and other animals may have a difficult time surviving and this will cause the birds to have less food. The birds also will not be accustomed to these changes and will not be able to adapt their bodies fast enough. This also makes reproduction difficult and in turn further dwindles the population.
Hope this helps!
Explanation:
Answer:
It is simple mathematics , because sex chromosome XX are found in female and XY in male the remaining 22 pairs are the same in both.
Explanation:
I looked it up. I'm sorry if it's wrong.
Answer:
Bridgham et al. (2006) showed that the interaction between a steroid hormone (aldosterone-M) and its receptor (mineralocorticoid) evolved by Darwinian gradualism. In this work, the authors demonstrated a primitive affinity between the hormone and its receptor that was initially present in chemically similar but more ancient ligands. This result has implications in understanding the association between gene duplication and the evolution of hormone signaling pathways. For example, in invertebrates, this work reinforces the importance of gene duplication in the existing interaction between paralogous glucocorticoid receptors and their receptor mineralocorticoid genes that were derived from duplication (Thornton 2001).

Answer: (B)
Explanation: They are asking for a comparison between light waves and sound waves.
A and C is wrong because it only says about sound waves
D only says about sound waves
E is completely wrong because they are affected differently in different mediums.
People are often able to live in a coma for several years because parts of the body that are not under conscious control continue to function. This situation best reflects the importance of the
A) central nervous system
B) autonomic nervous system
C) somatic nervous system
D) forebrain
Answer:
B) autonomic nervous system
Explanation:
The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system. It comes under the motor division of the peripheral nervous system. The function of this division of the nervous system is to deliver the motor information from the central nervous system to the smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands. The responses produced by these muscles and glands are not controlled by the will or conscious of the individuals.
Due to the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, the person under the coma could perform the activities such as breathing, pumping of heart to deliver the oxygen to the body cells, etc. and stay live.
