Answer:

1. Organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive

2. Organisms better adapted to their environment tend to reproduce and increase in number

3. Organisms pass on their traits to succeeding generations.

4. Over time, favourable traits become more common in a population.

Explanation:

The concept of natural selection was given by Charles Darwin.

In his theory of natural selection the following postulates were given by Darwin:

1. Individuals within a species vary from one another.

2. Some of this variation is heritable.

3. Individuals with most favorable variations tend to survive better and produce more offsprings.

4. Individuals tend to reproduce and produce more offsprings than can be supported by the environment.

Thus, based on these postulates all the four given statments are correct.

Ans: maintain homeostasis

Homeostasis is any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. It is the stable state of an organism and of its internal environment. Maintenance of homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops. These loops act to oppose the stimulus, or cue, that triggers them. The stable condition is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism, and is dependent on many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits.

Two different scientists were studying the carbon levels of the air above a large city. They both found that the levels had incr

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Scientist 1

Explanation:

The conclusion of scientists 1 is valid.

Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation, etc. leads to the emission of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. An increase in the population of a city will only lead to an increase in these activities and hence, an increase in the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.

Also, volcanic activities leads to the production of volcanic gases which is a mixture of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, etc.

However, an active volcano that is several miles away from the city might not be a major source of carbon in the air above a large city. The carbon dioxide produced from such volcanic activity thins out before reaching the city.

Syntenic genes can assort independently when:_________.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Synteny oe syntenic gene is defined as the physical co-localization of genetic loci on the same chromosome within a speciesand inidvidual.

In the beginning of the meiosis process, when genes are present in the same chromosomes but very far, they undergo indepedent assort due to homologous recombination and the random exchnage of matching fragment in homologous chromosomes takes place. During the crossing over there are very less chances that all types of gametes are produced accurate frequency.

Hence, the correct answer is 4.
