Use Darwin's theory of natural selection to explain how the elephant's trunk evolved

Biology
1 answer:
schepotkina [342]3 years ago
8 0
An elephant's trunk evolved in order to be able to stuff in and eat as much food as it can to become the big animal it is today.
The elephant's ancestors were small and had a short nose. As it turns out, the larger body size the elephant has, the more chance it gets to survive and pass on its genes to the next generation. In order to gain a larger size, it needed to eat more and be able to reach more food. Of course, its small nose wasn't capable of doing that at the time. So, through natural selection, eventually the elephants that were bigger, had longer trunks, and therefore ate more, were more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation than their smaller counterparts, and therefore with each generation elephants got longer trunks.

Answer:

              1. When a rubbed ruler is brought close to the paper, salt and pepper they are not equally attracted as paper is lighter than pepper and salt, so it takes less effort for paper to overcome the force of gravity.

2. electrostatic induction is a phenomenon in which static electricity is generated in an object by bringing an electrically charged object near it. When a charged object is brought near to an uncharged body it causes electrical charges to redistribute in the body, resulting one side having excess of positive charges and other side having negative charges, as a result body become charged.  Electrostatic interaction also depends upon the nature and mass of body.  

b. the combination of fur cloth and rubbed ruler produce greatest effect. The reason is that when ruler is brought near to fur excess of electron will flow into fur.

What mammalian cells would not be a good source to observe dividing cells in an adult?.
denis23 [38]

Everlasting cells are cells that are incapable of regeneration. these cells are taken into consideration to be terminally differentiated and non-proliferative in postnatal lifestyles. This includes neurons, heart cells, skeletal muscle cells, and pink blood cells.

Pink blood cells (RBCs) fall right into a truly less complicated category. Mature RBCs do not divide. In truth, because mature RBCs do not even have a nucleus, those cells in reality can not do an awful lot of anything other than act as vessels for the hemoglobin with which they are jam-packed. New RBCs are made in the marrow within the mature human.

Because the mitochondria are the mobile website for oxidative metabolism, where glucose is damaged all the way down to carbon dioxide and water to release energy, and because purple blood cells lack these organelles they cannot break down glucose absolutely aerobically.
