Evolution doesn't work according to any plan or change in any particular direction. Sometimes it leads to the rise of more compl

ex organisms, but usually it leads nowhere and an organism dies out. We call a species that dies out extinct. Most of the organisms that have evolved in the past are now extinct. Extinctions take place when the environment changes and one or more species cannot adapt. Sometimes the environment changes because a better-suited organism arrives to compete. Sometimes climates change. Parts of North Africa, now covered in desert, were once home to rivers, lakes and plants. Parts of Antarctica now buried in ice once grew tropical plants. Evidence suggests that giant meteors have crashed into the Earth at various times in history, causing mass extinctions. It is believed that such a crash 70 million years ago made the dinosaurs extinct. Which of the following is a false statement? A Some deserts we know today once had rivers and lakes. B Mass extinctions may have been caused by meteors. C Very few species have ever gone extinct. D Sometimes, species evolve to be more complex.

For the following three cultures, using any resource find out if they are obligate aerobes, facultative anaerobe, or obligate an
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

<em>Escherichia coli </em>- Facultative anaerobe

<em>Micrococcus luteus </em>- Obligate aerobe

<em>Clostridium sporogenes</em> - Obligate anaerobe

Explanation:

In simple terms, obligate aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to grow and metabolize molecules such as fats and sugars to produce energy. Many animals fall under this category. Other examples are <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>and <em>Micrococcus luteus</em>.

Facultative anaerobes are organisms (usually bacteria) that can grow both in the presence and absence of oxygen. The most example of this are the <em>Escherichia coli</em><em>.</em>

Obligate anaerobes are organisms (usually microorganisms) that cannot survive when exposed to normal atmospheric concentration of oxygen. Examples are <em>Clostridium sporogenes</em><em> </em>and <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>

A researcher has developed two stains for use with seed plants. One stains sporophyte tissue blue; the other stains gametophyte
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A) The pollen grains will be pure red.

Explanation:

Plants have alternation of generations, this means that there are two different stages in their life-cycle: a sexual haploid (n) phase and an asexual diploid phase (2n). These phases occur in different individuals, so there is an haploid plant called gametophyte that carries gametes and after fecundation, it will rise a diploid sporophyte (asexual).  

In seed plants, the sporophyte is the plant that we normally see, and the gametophyte is reduced into an organ of the sporophyte. The male gametophyte is the pollen that is produced in the sporangium in anthers (parts of sporophyte).  When a pollen grain fecundes a female gametophyte (egg), it will produce a diploid embryo or new sporophyte.

Therefore, if the researcher exposes pollen to both stains, these grain will stain red, because red stain identifies gametophyte tissue.

Which of these processes happens randomly and which are not considered random? Artificial selection, natural selection, sexual s
Doss [256]

Answer:

Artificial selection is non-random whereas natural selection, and sexual selection are random selection.

Explanation:

Artificial selection is considered non-random whereas natural selection, and sexual selection are considered as random selection because in Artificial selection, humans select the mating animals in order to acquire the desired characteristics and features in the offspring while on the other hand, natural selection, and sexual selection are happen randomly without the intervention of humans, it occurs naturally so we can conclude that artificial selection is non-random whereas natural selection, and sexual selection are random selection.

Why does the potential energy and the kinetic energy change when the skateboarder is at the top or the bottom of the hill why do
Brut [27]

Answer:

Potential energy is gaining all the way to the top of the hill due to the increase of height (gravitational pull) on the skateboarder. At the top of the hill potential energy will reach its highest point. Then going down kinetic energy increases as potential energy decreases.
