In the southeastern United States, there is a small type of lizard called a fence lizard. They have short legs and live under le

aves and dead logs.
Over the last 70 years, fire ants have moved into the lizard's environment. When fire ants sting the lizards on their body, the lizards can die
Scientists have observed that in places with fire ants and lizards living together for a long time, the lizards have longer legs. In places where fire
ants have only been there a short time, the lizards' legs are shorter overall
Fire ants move into a new environment with the lizards. What will most likely happen to the lizard population over the next several years?
A. Some of the lizards would try to develop new traits to avoid the ants, and they would pass on those traits to their
offspring. The other lizards would die
B. All of the lizards would try to develop new traits to avoid the ants. They would all survive and pass on those traits to
their offspring
OC. Due to random mutations, some lizard offspring are born with different traits that help them avoid the fire ants. These
offspring will most likely survive and reproduce, while the lizards born without those traits will die.

Graph y = -2x +3 and its inverse.
Gnesinka [82]
The graph of y = -2x + 3 is a straight line

Its slope is - 2

Its y-intercept is + 3

To draw the line you can use these two points (0,3) and (3/2 , 0)

This line does ont pass through the third quadrant. It comes downward from the second quadrant, touches the y-axis at y =3, continues on the rirst quadrant, touches the x-axis at x = 3/2, and contiues into the fourth quadrant.


Graph of its inverse

Exchange y and x in the given function and solve for the new y

x = - 2y + 3 => y = - x/2 + 3/2

It is also a straight line;
Its slope is -1/2
Its y-intercept is 3/2

It is also in the second, first and fourth quadrant

Use these two points to draw the line (0,3/2) and (3,0).

You do not need to know to draw this, but the inverse of a function is its reflection through the line y =x.

How many chromosomes, and which chromosomes, does each of the dughter cells contain
labwork [276]

The question is incomplete. However, if we consider this cell as human cell - the cell contain 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Answer:

Chromosomes consists of the constricted DNA associated with the proteins. Different species has different chromosome number. Two main types of chromosomes are heterochromatin and euchromatin.

The human cells contain the 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosome. If the cell divides by the process of mitosis than the chromosome number will be same in parent as well as the daughter cell. The daughter cell 23 pairs of chromosomes. If the cell divides by the process of mitosis the cell has 23 chromosome number as the meiosis reduces the chromosome number upto half.

What term describes what sugar and H2O molecules are doing
dusya [7]

Answer:

Hydrolysis.

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a type of chemical reaction in which a molecule of water breaks down into one or more chemical bonds.

The term is used broadly for these reactions: substitution, elimination, and fragmentation reactions in which water is the nucleophile.

Biological hydrolysis is the division of biomolecules where a water molecule is consumed to effect the separation of a larger molecule into small parts. When a carbohydrate is broken down into its component sugar molecules by hydrolysis process, that is called saccharification.

After breaking down by hydrolysis process, carbohydrates produce small particles or molecules. As an example, by the hydrolysis process, sucrose produces glucose and fructose.
