Answer:
True
Explanation:
Elastic fibers are composed of elastin, myofibrils and fibrillin. They are distributed <u>separately</u>, and therefore do not form bundles(they actually form a kind of mesh), like collagen fibers.
Elastic fibers are usually thin and long and can stretch up to 1.5x of their total length.
These fibers confer elasticity to the connective tissue. The mesh formed of elastic fibers easily yields to minimal tensions, returning to its original shape as soon as the deforming forces cease.
An example of the action of elastic fibers is when we pull the skin from our hands and release it, the elastic fibers are responsible for quickly returning the skin to its original shape.
1 minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile.
Just like an hour of time, there are 60 minutes in a degree of latitude.
Therefore, there are 60 nautical miles in each degree.
The risks of indoor cooking with biofuels and poor ventilation can be reduced through: better ventilation.
<h3>What is chemical pollution?</h3>
Chemical pollution can be defined as the contamination of an environment or waterway, especially through an emission of poisonous, hazardous, and toxic chemical compounds (substances) by humans and various industries.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), chemical pollution is a change to waterways and the atmosphere which are mainly caused as a result of human activity.
In this scenario, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the risks of indoor cooking with biofuels and poor ventilation can be reduced through better ventilation in the cooking area, so as to efficiently and effectively diffuse the gases.

Answer:
8. D
9. A
10. A
11. C
12. D
Explanation:
8. Natural selection works on variation that exists in the genes of organisms. Antelopes who have genetic variation that makes their legs more muscular are at an advantage because they can outrun predators. This increases the chance that they will reach reproductive age, and be able to pass this advantageous trait onto their offspring. Over time, this selection pressure makes the variant more common in a population.
9. Beneficial traits are those that give a selective advantage. This could be one that helps it outrun predators (like above), avoid illness and death, gives it a reproductive advantage (i.e. more attractive to mates), or makes it better able to digest certain foods, for example. The formation of cancer cells would be harmful for an organism, reducing its fitness and perhaps leading to death. The inability to reproduce would mean genetic info is not passed on to the next generation, and stopping the production of an essential protein would likely lead to death. However, resistance to a virus would help an organism avoid illness and death, improving fitness.
10. Genotypes are what organisms inherit from their parents, i.e. the genetic information that is passed on. However, the way in which different alleles interact and are expressed is the phenotype. If we take the above example, natural selection is acting on the phenotype of muscular legs. If an antelope had the muscular leg genotype but for some reason it was not being expressed (maybe another gene is interfering with it), then the antelope would not have a selective advantage, and natural selection could not be act on the trait.
11. A trait that better suits an organism to its environment will be selected for by natural selection. This is because that organism is more likely to survive due to the trait, giving it a selective advantage. Therefore, if a mutation arose making the giraffe more adapted to the environment, it would be positively selected for, and through evolution would become more common.
12. This is an example of selective breeding, which has been happening for generations. Farmers spot desirable traits, and cross horses with these traits in an attempt to enhance the trait or to ensure it is passed on to the next generation. This is not natural selection, because farmers are making it happen artificially. It is not cloning or recombinant DNA, which are terms scientists use for actually manipulating the DNA in the lab.
