<span>The human population is increasing, so the likelihood of a mass extinction is also increasing.
The human population is increasing, and historically, as human population has increased, species have gone extinct. As human population increases, and also destroy more habitats to pay for higher standards of living, the probability of mass extinction increases. </span>
Answer:
- 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
- 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).
Explanation:
- A (colored seed) is dominant over a (colorless)
- Wx (normal starch) is dominant over wx (waxy)
Both loci are independent.
A <em>Aa WxWx </em>individual was test crossed (crossed with a homozygous recessive <em>aa wxwx</em> individual).
- The homozygous recessive can only produce <em>a wx </em>gametes.
- The dihybrid individual can produce two types of gametes, all of them with the same frequency because the genes segregate independently: 1/2 <em>A Wx </em>and 1/2<em> a Wx </em>
<u>The possible offspring resulting from the combination of those gametes is:</u>
- 1/2 Aa Wx wx (colored seeds, normal starch)
- 1/2 aa Wx wx (colorless seed, normal starch).
<span>1. List the adaptation that ALL vertebrates have in common.
The vertebrate is a subphylum of kingdom Animalia. The member of subphylum should have a spine or vertebrae. Therefore, all vertebrates should have vertebrae. All the member should have all the classification above the subphylum like cranium from craniate and notochord from chordate.
2. List all the adaptations that your chordate has (as shown on the cladogram).
The frog is part of Amphibian that shown on green lines. It should have all the organ above its classification such as jaws and paired appendages, lungs(frog can live in the land), four limbs. It also has all the trait of vertebrates that was described above.
3. To which type of chordate is your chordate most closely related?
If your chosen chordates are the frog, then salamander and caecilian would be the most closely related chordates. The reason is that salamanders and caecilians are also amphibians like the frog, which means they have all the trait from amphibians.
4. Why do you think endothermy appears at two points on the cladogram?
Endothermy member is the chordates that have warm blood. There are two chordates that have warm blood in the cladogram, the apes(mammals) and the bird. Since the bird is classified as reptile the but the ape classified as mammals, the cladogram needs to put two </span>endothermy.<span>
5. Amniotic eggs have a waterproof membrane. What type of animals evolved from animals that lay amniotic eggs?
</span>The amniotic eggs will be found on the reptile. The eggs have a waterproof membrane to prevent water comes out of the egg. Water is an important resource and if a high amount of water leak from the egg, the egg will be dried out and die. <span>
6. In what type of habitat do you think the evolution of amniotic eggs helped animals survive? Hint: In what habitat do all animals without amniotic eggs live?
The amniotic eggs help an animal that lives on the dry land to make offspring. All of the animals before reptiles are living in the water and spawn their eggs there so there is no concern about losing water, thus waterproof membrane is not needed. Reptile spawns their eggs on land, so it needs a method to contain the water.</span>
Answer:
C
Explanation:
in a semi-permeable membrane, very specific amounts of materials are allowed through. This is particularly helpful in the human body because the body can then create "charge differences" between ions. In these charge differences, neurons can fire and pretty much all movement in your body is achieved because of these membranes. They are also called selective membranes
Answer:
intensity with which the rats pressed the lever
Explanation:
In research, there are two main variables which are <u>dependent</u> or <u>independent</u>.
Independent variables are controlled or manipulated by the experimenter and the independent variable in this experiment is the amount of light exposure.
The response or outcome, which is then measured is the dependent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the intensity with which the rats pressed the lever with varying exposure to light.
In summary, the independent variable has a causal effect on the dependent variable so in this experiment the amount of light exposure has a casual effect on whether the rats would press a lever more.
