<u>Answer:</u>

The major type of weathering that takes place in a desert in Physical Weathering.

<u>Explanation:  </u>

Physical weathering also known as mechanical weathering takes place in deserts. This weathering takes place due to physical or mechanical forces. Frost chattering, temperature fluctuation also causes physical weathering.

In the desert, there is a fluctuation in temperature. In deserts, the temperature during the day will be very high and at night the temperature will be very low. As a result, the rocks expand during daytime due to heating and at night the rocks undergo contraction due to the reduction in temperature. Hence the rocks are weakened followed by the disintegration or breaking of rock.

The deer and wolf population would decrease because the deer have less plants to feed on while already being eaten by the wolves, and eventually the wolves will have less deer to feed on which will decrease their population

Coin tosses can demonstrate the effects of genetic drift. Imagine that heads and tails are two alleles in a population. Consider
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Smaller populations have a greater chance of having one allele expressed disproportionately.

Explanation:

Genetic drift corresponds to a drastic casual alteration of the natural order, reaching the genotypic concentration of one or several species, not preliminarily involving natural selection factors, but caused by sudden events.  Such phenomenon is characterized by the occurrence of ecological catastrophes, for example: earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, burnings, avalanches and other processes, affecting a large population contingent. Thus limiting the genetic content of a particular group, restricted to the prevailing individuals.

In this situation, with low variability, differentiated individuals will experience a more significant selection pressure in relation to the ascending lineage, which minimized the achievements of selection due to the high number of living individuals. In this scenario, smaller populations will have a greater chance of having a disproportionately expressed allele as the number of members is reduced. We can also see this effect if by using a coin we imagine that heads and tails are two alleles in a population and each coin toss represents one member of that population.

We have already talked about another class of chemicals that helps send signals in the body—neurotransmitters. How are neurotr
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Similarities: both are chemical messengers, both can have (but don't necessarily have) similar structures (made from amino acids), both can be produced by the central nervous system (hypothalamus produces some hormones), certain molecules can act as both hormones and neurotransmitters (example: norepinephrine).

Differences: neurotransmitters are released by neurons across a synaptic gap, have very short distances to travel, and act very quickly on the neighboring cell. Hormones are released by glands and often have to travel longer distances, which means that they are slower-acting. Also, hormones are typically used for regulation (negative feedback) while neurotransmitters are used for stimulation of a neighboring cell.
