Answer:

For Gregor Mendel, pea plants were fundamental in allowing him to understand the means by which traits are inherited between parent and offspring. He chose pea plants because they were easy to grow, could be bred rapidly, and had several observable characteristics, like petal color and pea color.

Identify the four principles of natural selection and provide examples not used in the section.
IRINA_888 [86]

The four principles of natural selection are variability among members of a species, heritability of the variable features, differences in population members' ability to reproduce and survival of the fittest in terms of variability, heritability and reproduction. Natural selection is one of evolution's four mechanisms.

Natural selection acknowledges the fact that members of a population are capable of producing more offspring than are needed to maintain a healthy population size. Nature controls the population's size by empowering species' best specimens to survive and reproduce.

Variability among population members refers to differences in such traits as eye color or hair color, and it serves as natural selection's foundation. The variable traits must be heritable, which means they are passed down from one generation to the next. Differences among population members' ability to reproduce refers to the fact that some population members are able to reproduce and some are not. These three factors combine to help ensure the survival of the fittest, which means that the population members with the most desirable traits reproduce and create new members that share those traits, whereas members with undesirable traits fall into obscurity.

Diffusion of ions across membranes through specific ion channels is driven by ________. Group of answer choices ion concentratio
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The correct choice is ''ion electrochemical gradients''.

Diffusion of ions across membranes through specific ion channels is driven by <u>ion electrochemical gradients</u>.  

Explanation:

An electrochemical gradient can be considered as that electrical (electrostatic pressure) and chemical (diffusion) force that determine the movement of molecules and ions across the membrane. This electrochemical gradient, in addition to causing movement of substances through cell membranes, is also a type of potential energy available for the performance of different cellular activities, potential energy called membrane potential.

Which of the following is a direct benefit of biodiversity?
IRISSAK [1]

improved soil fertility

Explanation:

One direct benefit of biodiversity is improved soil fertility. Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals living in a particular ecosystem.

  A soli is made up of organic matter. Organic matter is the remain of dead and decaying plant and animal materials in the soil.

Organic matter is a very important soil component.

Since plants and animals eat up plants which takes nutrients from the soil, there must be a way to replenish these vital soil materials.

 The more biodiverse an ecosystem, the better its chance of adding more nutrients to the soil as they decay.
