Answer:
The correct option is <em>B. Crossing- over </em>
Explanation:
In biology, crossing over can be described as a phenomenon by which homologous chromosomes exchange segments during the process of meiosis.
The unexpected results came because the DNA segment between the homologous chromosomes was exchanged during meiosis. The alleles got shuffled by this process and hence showed the unexpected results.
Crossing over and independent assortment are phenomenon which occurs only during the process of meiosis. These phenomenons cannot be observed during mitosis.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is B) as the light colored moths were seen and eaten, the allele for dark colour became more prevalent in the population.</em>
Explanation:
The process of natural selection tends to favour those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment. Evolution changes the allele frequencies of a population over time depending on the traits favoured by natural selection.
Before the industrial revolution, the colour of the trees was lighter and hence, the light coloured moths were better adapted to such environments as they could hide from predation. After the industrial revolution, the colour of the woods of trees became darker. The light coloured moths were no more able to hide from their predators and hence their population declined.
Answer:
Responding to the environment
Explanation:
Sweating and panting are mechanisms of homeostasis i.e the regulation of the body's internal environment in response to changes or fluctuations in the external environment.
Sweating is a physiological response to the body's core temperature rising above the limit of 36.5-37.5°C. Once the hypothalamus in the brain detects this rise in temperature, cooling mechanisms are initiated. One of these is sweating. Release and subsequent evaporation of sweat through the sweat glands produces a cooling effect.
Panting is a physiological response more observed in dogs. Dogs lack sweat glands and therefore cannot lower their core temperature through sweating. Panting utilizes saliva instead of sweat to lower body's temperature to the set limit.
Answer:
Their relationship would be a parasitic relationship.
Explanation:
The hornworm caterpillar are gaining benefits from the tomato plant's nutrients, all while the tomato plant is getting destroyed.
Answer:
C & D
Explanation:
C - The Sun has an 11 year solar cycle. When the solar cycle is at a <em>minimum</em>, active regions of the sun are rare and not many solar flares are detected. They dramatically increase as the Sun approaches the <em>maximum</em> part of its cycle.
D - It's the Sun. It's moody. Solar flares are pretty sporadic, they're sudden and often unpredictable.
