Harbor seals live in northern oceans and have a layer of blubber (fat) that keeps them warm. Seals can have blubber of different

thicknesses.
Seals with thicker blubber are more likely to stay warm and survive in cold ocean waters. But, in warm ocean waters, thicker blubber can make the seals overheat and die.

Harbor seals live in northern oceans and have a layer of blubber (fat) that keeps them warm. Seals can have blubber of different thicknesses.


Seals with thicker blubber are more likely to stay warm and survive in cold ocean waters. But, in warm ocean waters, thicker blubber can make the seals overheat and die.


Diagram titled Population Before containing 2 rows of seal icons. The first row is labeled Medium Blubber and contains 2 seal icons. The second row is labeled Thin Blubber and contains 9 seal icons.




The diagram above shows a population of seals that lived in an area of ocean. Scientists had previously only seen seals with medium or thin blubber in this area of ocean; they had never seen seals with thick blubber.


The diagram below shows how the population changed after many generations.

(second picture)


Edin says the change in the seal population was caused by a change in the environment.

Vada says the change was caused by a mutation.

Miko thinks both Edin and Vada are correct.

Who do you think is right? Explain what happened to the seals over many generations.

Answer: The findings show that the seals have significantly altered in accordance with changes in food availability that are associated with climate conditions. Despite a shift in the population towards 'fitter' individuals, this fitness is not passing down through generations, leaving the population in decline.

When you were a child, your mother always made you chocolate chip cookies when you were sad, cheering you up. As an adult, whene
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

UCS = chocolate chip cookies

CS = the smell

UCR = the smell of chocolate cookies

CR = the smell of chocolate chips cookies makes you happier

Explanation:

Classical conditioning has three basic stages. The first stage is before conditioning stage in which the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) produces a unlearned response, also called the unconditioned response (UCR. This response is natural.

The second stage is the "during conditioning stage" and it involves a stimulus producing no response and has an association with the unconditioned stimulus, which now becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS).

The third and final stage is the "after conditioning" stage and in this stage the CS is now associated with the UCS to produce a Conditioned response (CR).

From the example, the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) is the chocolate chip cookies which produces an unlearned response of cheering you up.

The conditioned stimulus is the smell of the chocolate which is now associated with the UCS to become the CS.

The Unconditioned response is the smell f the chocolate chip cookies, which the conditioned response is the smell of the chocolate chip cookies that makes you happy. The happiness is the conditioned response. You are not used feeling happy once you perceive the smell of chocolate chip cookies.
