Living things,are made up of cells; exhibit characteristics of life, like growth, movement, reproduction. they evolve, and require energy for daily activities. Some of the daily life examples of living things around us are human beings, animals, plants and micro organisms.
Non-livings things do not exhibit any characteristics of life. They do not grow, respire, need energy, move, reproduce, evolve, or maintain homeostasis. These things are made up of non-living materials. Some examples of non-living things are stones, paper, electronic goods, books, buildings, and automobiles. (Hope that helps)

Evolutionary theory contends that genetic ___________ is necessary and beneficial for humanity when there is an environmental ch
Anni [7]

Answer:

variation

Explanation:

Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA.  The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment.  Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes.  Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.

Example: Peppered moth

In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark.  The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten.  The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten.  Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat.  By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%.  This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.

How did the Rf values differ between pigments and solvents?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The Rf values indicate how soluble the particular pigment is in the solvent by how high the pigment moves on the paper.

Explanation:

The Rf values indicate how soluble the particular pigment is in the solvent by how high the pigment moves on the paper. Small Rf values tend to indicate larger, less soluble pigments while the highly soluble pigments have an Rf value near to one.

Salt is notoriously dangerous to land snails; however, some populations of aquatic, freshwater snail have brackish (or a mix of
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The brackish water adaptation is clearly necessary because the aquatic snails need to live in an environment in which the river system has a higher quantity of salt than what land snails can take. I can determine that the environmental factors influenced the inherited adaptations because the second population has a higher salt concentration in their habitat compared to the initial population.
