Thomas Malthus was an economist who influenced Darwin's developing theory of evolution. Malthus observed that the birthrate amon

g humans exceeded the death rate. If this trend continued, soon there would not be enough resources to support human population growth. He reasoned that the only things capable of stopping human population growth were famine, disease, and war. Darwin applied this thinking to animals and plants as well, noting that far more offspring were produced than survived to a reproductive age. 2.

Answer:

The work of Thomas Malthus help and influence Darwin Thomas to refine his theory of natural selection by explaining that there is a meaningful competition between the individuals of a particular species or population for a specific resource such as food or shelter.

Thomas Malthus predicted that the human population is reproducing faster than its death race and will lead to growing faster than space and food supplies needed to sustain it. Darwin concluded further that If all offspring of almost any species survived for several generations, they would overrun the world and therefore a healthy and meaningful competition is present and to overcome this natural selection takes place as the individual adapt will ultimately survive.

What situation might develop in a population having some plants whose flowers open at midday and other plants whose flowers open
Kay [80]

Complete question: What situation might develop in a population having some plants whose flowers open at midday and other plants whose flowers open late in the day?

a. Temporal isolation

b. Geographic isolation

c. Behavioral isolation

d. Genetic drift

Answer:

a. Temporal isolation

Explanation:

Temporal isolation is one of several mechanisms of reproductive isolation. Temporal isolation occurs when some organisms of a population exhibit different timing of reproductive maturity. It also occurs when some members of a population reproduce at a different time from the others. This does not allow interbreeding between them.

When plants of a population open flower at a different time of day, cross-pollination would not occur between these plants. This represents temporal isolation.

It is among the factors that determine the body fat, others being; exercise, the basal metabolic rate and the basal metabolic index, nutrition, amount and type of activity, age, and sex among other factors.

- One can't change the genes he or she is born with, therefore some individuals are simply built to accumulate more or less fat. Genes can also affect where body fat accumulates as well.

PLEASE HELP TO SOLVE IT I HAVE AN EXAM !!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

64

Explanation:

Since the cell has two chromosomes and a diploid number of 2, in each generation, the cell doubles. In the first generation, we have two cells, in the second generation, we have 2 × 2 cells ,in the third generation, we have 2 × 2 × 2 cells. It follows that we have 2ⁿ cells in each generation where n represents the generation.

So, in the fifth generation, n = 5, so the number of cells is 2⁵ =  32.

Since we have 2 chromosomes in each cell, the number of chromosomes in the 32 cells in the 5th generation is 2 × 32 = 64 chromosomes.
