Answer:

Knowing the evolutionary relationships among species allows scientists to choose appropriate organisms for the study of diseases, such as HIV. Scientists are even using the principles of natural selection to identify new drugs for detecting and treating diseases such as cancer. Environmental change and isolation of groups of organisms play an important role in evolution. Environmental change is any change in an environment to which an organism must adapt. Change can be gradual, such as when mountains or deserts form, other species die out, or new species evolve.

A farmer decides to go into the business of raising trout for tourists who enjoy fishing. She builds six trout ponds and stocks
Nastasia [14]

Yes the following statements about her trout is likely true Because the ponds are different and the populations are likely to experience different mutations, the populations will likely diverge evolutionarily, but only over many generations.

Explanation:

The effect of genetic drift can be seen in all populations but the most is seen in small population. The change in allele frequency due to the sampling error would lead to evolution of the species.

Bottleneck effect is when a population gets reduced due to some natural disaster. Her friends were not right about bottleneck effect.

So it is clear that no bottleneck effect will occur as each pond have different chance or rate of mutation and the change in alleles will be different. The  trouts will evolve independently in the different ponds and pass on the traits to their progeny.

Genetic drift does not take into account for the harm or benefit of the alleles that are passed on.

Describe the amount of respiratory membrane surface area in healthy adults:
kirill115 [55]

Answer: The respiration is a process, which occurs in all living organisms. In respiration a food or substrate present in the body is broken down into components in the present or absence of oxygen.

Explanation:

The respiratory membrane surface area is marked by the surface acquired by the small bronchi that branches into small bronchioles. Further the bronchioles extent to the alveoli for respiratory gas exchange.

In case of a human adult there are 300 million bronchi which cover an area of 180m². So, the total amount of respiratory surface area in healthy adult is 180m².
