Over time, what happens to a trait that is an advantage to an organism?

1 answer:

3 0

I remember back in 10th grade I learned that birds that had beaks that were easier to break the seeds carried those traits to their babies and the whole area had that type of beak since it was necessary to break some seeds. So the beaks that were a disadvantage no longer existed and the beaks that became an advantage passed along to all the other birds.

Side note: if they all had the same beak they could all fight for the same type of seeds and probably have some sort of intense competition but idk if that’s necessary

true or false? to make a person breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity must decrease, creating a higher pressure in the thor

faltersainse [42]

The thorax is a very vital and important organ in the human body.

It is a structure that serves as a protective covering for organs in the body such as the lungs, the heart, some vital blood vessels e.t.c

It is false that to make a person breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity must decrease, creating a higher pressure in the thorax.

When a person breathes in, the chest cavity expands (the volume increases) and the pressure in the thorax decreases.

When a person breathes out, the chest cavity decreases in size, and the pressure in the thorax increases.

Therefore, we can see that the process of breathing in humans, follows the principle of Boyle's Law.

Boyle's law states that as the volume increases there is a decrease in pressure and as the volume decrease there is an increase in pressure.

Therefore, It is false that to make a person breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity must decrease, creating a higher pressure in the thorax.
