A chick becomes a chicken over a period of several weeks.

Biology
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

This is <em>true </em>!!

Explanation:

In general terms, chickens are said to be adults when they reach sexual maturity and begin the process of laying eggs. This will typically happen when the birds are between 16 and 24 weeks of age, depending on the breed. However, the time might also vary from individual to individual, as some will develop more quickly or slowly than others. If you need a ballpark figure, a young chicken can usually be considered mature when it reaches 18 weeks of life.

List and explain the 3 paths natural selection can take.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1. Stabilizing Selection  

2. Directional Selection  

3. Disruptive Selection  

Explanation:

Stabilizing Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:

Example:  For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.

Directional Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:

Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.

Disruptive Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:

Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.

Name and describe the role of each of the chambers in the rats heart. name the major artery and major vein connected to the hear
Nat2105 [25]
Easy:

The four chambers of the heart are the right and left atria, and the right and left ventricles. The main veins connected the heart are the superior and inferior vena cava, the main artery is the Aorta.

The first chamber, (the right atruim) recieves deoxygenated blood and forces it into the right ventricles which forces the blood into the lungs for oxygenation. Then the blood reenters the heart in the left atrium, which forces the blood into the left ventricle and then out the Aorta to the rest of the body.

sorry, but this question needed kind of a long answer to be answered correctly.
