Can the environment and the heritage be used to describe evolution?

Biology

Evolution is caused by genetic mutations that become favorable for survival.

For example if a bird has a mutation that gives it a longer beak and it lives in an environment in which a longer beak lets the bird catch more food- the longer beak becomes a favorable trait.

Now the bird is able to survive “better” thus it lives longer(due to its ability to catch more food). Because of this it reproduces more and passes the trait on to its offspring.
Overtime this mutation takes over the population of birds in the area.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) domain

Explanation:

The father of taxonomy is Linnaeus. Taxonomy helps in classify and naming organisms. The modern taxonomy has eight levels of classification. Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Domain is the highest level of classification so it is the largest category that would include closely related species. When we go from domain towards species the number of similarities increase and number of organism decrease and vice versa is true when we move from species to domain. So the right answer is domain.

Why can we go for a long time without eating but not breathing
barxatty [35]
Breathing is an essential part of the works of the body. If you go a long time without breathing, you’ll die. The reason why you can go a long time without eating is because your body stores the fat to keep you going. Breathing is kind of the building block of the body.

Olympic athletes train in Colorado Springs, Colorado because this location is at high altitude and near the 14,000 foot Pikes Pe
Stels [109]

Answer:

A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.

Explanation:

<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.

One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.

The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase

<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>

The correct option is A.
