Answer:

1 - natural selection

2 - uniformitarianism

3- inheritance of acquired characteristics

4 - catastrophism

Explanation:

1. Natural selection refers to the evolution of organism or changes in the characterstics of organism depending on the environmental conditions. Hence, the lizard moved on fantasy island evolved with larger head and stronger bites as per the environmental condition.

2. The concept of Uniformitarianism states that the natural geological processes happening in present have already occured in past with same intesity and rate. Hence, geologist uses the phrase "The present is the key to the past" for formation of mountain, rock formation and water movements.

3. Inheritance of acquired characteristics are the characteristic acquird by the ancestors and transmitted that gradually acquired characteristic to their progeny. Hence, the rats acquire the charactieristics and transfered it to the next generations.

4. Catastrophism means the regular occurrence of meteorological and geological disturbances to explain the existence the fossil record. Hence, teh mass exticiton due to asteroid impact is an example of Catastrophism.

So, the correct options in sequential order is natural selection, uniformitarianism, inheritance of acquired characteristics, and catastrophism.

How would a small, uncharged lipid move across the cell membrane?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Through simple diffusion, down the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The phospholipids of the membrane are amphipathic with hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails. Other polar molecules cannot go through this hydrophobic interior. Since small uncharged lipids are non polar and hydrohobic, they are able to go through the membrane without the help of transport proteins. Therefore, the last two options can be ruled out because facilitated diffusion includes the use of a protein. Diffusion involves molecules moving down the concentration gradient so the second option can be ruled out.

Los aminoácidos tienen una parte variable denominada

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of carbon atoms linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain.

Translation:

Los componentes básicos de las proteínas son los aminoácidos, que son pequeñas moléculas orgánicas que consisten en átomos de carbono unidos a un grupo amino, un grupo carboxilo, un átomo de hidrógeno y un componente variable llamado cadena lateral.

Explain the difference between each of the following substitution mutations:

pentagon [3]

Answer: silent mutation: a nucleotide base in a codon is replaced with a different base BUT the resulting amino acid isn’t affected.

Missense mutation: similar to a silent mutation, the only difference is that the switch of the nucleotide DOES result in a DIFFERENT amino acid

Nonsense mutation: a nucleotide base is changed, but that change results in a premature stop of translation

(Remember that after transcription, you are left with a strand of mRNA that Is then translated into a protein. The mRNA is read in increments of three nucleotide bases (A,U,G, or C) which is called a codon. That codon makes a single amino acid, and a strand of amino acids makes a protein)

Barbara had curly hair her genotype for this trait is cc<br> What do you infer from this

Zielflug [23.3K]

Barbara have both alleles that are dominant. It is because all the letters for the genotype of the trait are capitalized. It might be that both of her parents have at least one dominant allele each
