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.

why is the only path of conduction for impulse transmission from the atria to the ventricles through the av node and av bundle?
velikii [3]

Because the AV node takes on the role of a very important delay in the cardiac conduction system. Without this delay, the atria and ventricles would contract at the same time.

<h3>Cardiac conduction system</h3>

The conduction system of the heart sends electrical signals, usually generated by the sinus nodes, causing the heart muscle to contract. Pacemaker signals originating from the sinus node travel through the right atrium to the atrioventricular (AV) along the bundle of His and through branches of the bundle, causing myocardial contraction. This signal first stimulates contraction of the right and left atria then flows to the right and left ventricles. That electric current then allows blood to be pumped throughout the body.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

1. Yes

1. True

Explanation:

A.

Yes, it is a nonhuman primate cultural example: Despite the fact that many nonhuman primates lack apparent cultural traditions in the same manner that humans do, primatologists have uncovered a number of behavioral habits that differ between populations and are passed down through socialization and language interaction. The employment of tools by chimps for hunting is one of the most prominent examples of this. Chimpanzees in the African Savannah have been observed fashioning sticks into weapons to hunt bush infants, according to researchers. In each example, a chimp changes a branch by snapping off one or two ends and sharpening the stick with its teeth. The spear is then jabbed into the bottom of the trunk, where the bush infants slumber. Because this complicated behavior appears to differ between communities, it is thought that chimpanzee tool usage is socially acquired, and hence a cultural behavior.

B.

Chimpanzees hunt in groups so that they may corner their prey even if the canopy is continuous. Each chimpanzee within the hunting parties has a specific function to play during an arboreal hunt. Drivers are responsible for keeping the prey moving in a specific route and following them without trying to grab or catch them. Blockers are positioned at the base of the trees, climbing up to stop prey from fleeing in the other direction. Chasers move swiftly and attempt to capture the prey. Finally, when one monkey approaches, ambushers hide and flee. The food is delivered to all members of the hunting group once the animal has been trapped and slaughtered.

AysviL [449]

<u>Answer:</u>

Jack is correct because a solution is not a type of mixture because the substances stay mixed together and cannot be separated. Each substance loses its primary physical properties.

Option: (D)

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • A mixture is composed of 'two or more different substances', physically combined and it is in the form of a solution, suspension or a colloid.
  • A mixture may be homogeneous (salt and water) or heterogeneous (sand and water).
  • A homogeneous mixture of two or more compounds is termed as solution. It has a solute and a solvent.
  • The 'solute' is the substance dissolved in the solvent. Both lose their primary physical properties.
