Answer:

I will give you 5 of them :)

1.Flightless Birds

Birds such as ostriches, emus and penguins are unable to fly. However, this hasn't always been the case — each of these flightless birds has ancestors who easily flew. Over many generations, ostriches and emus evolved to have larger bodies and feet made for running on land, which left them without the ability (or need) to fly. The same goes for penguins, who traded typical wings for swim-friendly flippers over many thousands of generations.

2.Blue Moon Butterfly

The Blue Moon Butterfly on the Samoan islands was attacked by a parasite, which destroyed male embryos. This changed the balance of male and female but that was remedied within 10 generations. This is because the few male moths that were immune lived to breed.

3.Mexican Cavefish

Mexican cavefish once had eyes, but in the caves, eyes were no longer necessary. They have also lost their pigmentation because they no longer need camouflage from predators. This is an example of regressive evolution, the belief that "if you don't use it, you lose it" when it comes to traits.

4.Warrior Ants

These ants have a chemical signal that identifies their colony. Some ants learned to imitate this signal from another colony, so they can attack a colony and take over. The worker ants will not even realize there has been an invasion and continue to work.

5.Pesticide Resistant Insects

Whenever you use a pesticide, it kills the majority of an insect population. However, certain insects will experience a gene mutation to develop immunity to it and those insects will reproduce. This happens very quickly, within a few generations, since the generation length for insects is short.

Explanation:

The changes are the organism's adaptive traits and they arise as a result of natural selection. An example of adaptive evolution is the horse's teeth. Its teeth are one of the traits that made it fit for a grass diet. In contrast, genetic drift produces random changes in the frequency of traits in a population

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is - facilitated transport and secondary active transport.

Explanation:

GLUT transporter is a glucose transporter that helps in moving the glucose to its concentration gradient through the cell membrane. It is a transport protein that uses passive transport of facilitated transport that moves down their concentration gradient and therefore does not require chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis in the transport step.

Sodium-based GLUT or SGLT is also a glucose transport protein that exhibits secondary active transport as it develops electrochemical potential difference by moving ions out of the cell membrane, this gradient allows the movement of ions and molecules.

Examine how sounds of music are related to trigonometric functions.
user100 [1]

The sounds of music are related to trigonometric functions in the fact that the sound can be measured according to the angles of the sound waves.

<h3>What is sound?</h3>

Sound is a disturbance on a specific media (e.g., air) that travels with a particular frequency and amplitude.

Sound amplitude is represented by the height of the wave, whereas sound frequency is referred to as the period of time between waves.

In conclusion, the sounds of music are related to trigonometric functions in the fact that the sound can be measured according to the angles of the sound waves.

The graph below shows how trigonometric functions are associated with sound waves.

The trigonometric function used in the graph to understand the movement of sound waves is Y=sin(X).
