Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Species in widely separated but similar biomes often appear to display similar characteristics because of <u>convergent evolution.</u>

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is called the evolutionary process from which two types of organisms totally unrelated to each other evolve to similar structures (they are morphologically similar as a whole or in parts) for a purpose, that is, they have adapted to means or similar ecological niches. Convergent evolution is manifested by the presence of similar or equal structures in species that belong to different evolutionary lines (they do not share a common ancestor).

How might the increase of volcanic eruptions affect Earth?
vodka [1.7K]
If enough ejecta (mainly ash) is sent into the upper atmosphere, the dust particles will block solar energy causing a decrease in temperature. This has happened in the past. Look for the year without summer caused by a volcanic eruption.

Sam’s teacher is trying to model the day/night cycle on Earth. One student holds a large yellow ball to represent the Sun. Anoth
Orlov [11]
Hello!

So, day and night are caused because the earth makes a full rotation on its axis once every 24 hours.

That way, have of Earth is facing the sun (it is morning on that side) and the other half isn't (which is why it is nighttime over there).

For example, if it's nighttime in Canada and America, it's morning in Pakistan and India. This is because Pakistan and India are facing the sun whilst Canada and America are not.

A N S W E R:

The balls should be moved so that half the Earth is facing the sun and the other half is not. This would be 24 hours. As for the sun, it is a gas, not a solid, so it doesn't rotate like one. However, that does not mean that it is not rotating to some extent.

Plz help!!!!<br> Kinda in a hurry to catch up on biology rn anything can help!!!
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

16. Control group: Subject A

17. Independent (manipulated) variable: Type of powder

18. Dependent variable: Itching time

19. Explain whether the data supports the advertisement´s claims about its product. Yes, it does.

Explanation:

  • Control group: The control group is used to identify if there are any other factors influencing the results obtained by the treatment in the study (in this case, the new product), from the results that might be a consequence of other factors. The control group must be selected from the same population as the treatment group. Data from an experimental group are compared with the data from a control group. These two groups are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals.  

The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable.  There can be several experimental groups. In this case, the experimental group is subject B.

  • Independent (manipulated) variable: Refers to all the variables in an experiment that provoke a response in another variable. An independent variable is the one that changes or is controlled and modified in the experiment to analyze how another variable responds to it. It changes to analyze its effects on the dependent variable. Usually, the independent variable is represented by the X letter. In the exposed example, the type of powder is the independent variable.  
  • Dependent variable: Refers to the variable, which response depends on any change in the independent variable. It represents a quantity of something which value depends on how the independent variable is modified. The change in the dependent variable might be proportional or inversely proportional to the change in the manipulated variable. It is usually identified by the letter Y. In the exposed example, inching time is the dependent variable, that depends on the type of powder used.
  • The data <u>does support</u> the advertisement´s claims about its product. The effect of the new product lasts 50% more than the original product. The old powder produced itching for 30 minutes, while the new product produced itching for 45min (15 more minutes, 50% more).
