Lividity can be defined as the typical bluish-purple discoloration of the skin after death. Rigor mortis can be defined as the postmortem state in which the muscles become stiff.
- After death, the stomach contains identifiable ingested foods within two hours.
- Rigor mortis is characterized by the stiffening of the body after death, which is caused by the absence of ATP in muscle tissues.
- Postmortem lividity or livor mortis is caused by the accumulation of blood in blood vessels (the lack of arterial pressure) as a result of gravity.
- The most relevant information to determine the time of death is the presence of lividity, rigor mortis, and/or stomach contents (Option c).

Answer:
The independent variable are the vitamins .
The dependent variable are the rats.
Explanation:
The vitamins are the independent variable because they are are controllable. You can control how many vitamins the rats will be given.
Answer:
It will remain constant...
Explanation:
In accordance with the Mendel's law of segregation, independent assortment as well as Hardy-Weinberg Theorem., no matter what type of cross within the homozygotic characteristics takes place, the frequency of dominant and recessive will remain constant over the whole population even if selective breeding strategy is applied.
For example, the ratio for a single trait of allele will remain 3:1 for a whole population of large numbers
Answer/Explanation:
Natural selection - over time - selects for traits that improve fitness. A butterfly with wing coloration that looks like a hungry owl would certainly be a deterrent to their natural predators, such as smaller birds. This is because the owl is the predator of the smaller birds, and their instinct is to avoid the owl.
If a mutation arose that resulting in coloration that looked like an owl, (or at least slightly menacing) this would be beneficial to the butterfly, as it would be more camouflaged from predators. This means it would be more likely to reach reproductive age and pass the mutation onto its offspring, who would also have a competitive advantage.
Over time, this would lead to a population of butterflies with coloration that looks more and more owl-like .
Vestigial traits are adaptations to environmental pressures which are no longer present.
homologous structures are similar structures found in different species that were present in a common ancestor.
analogous traits are similar traits found in different species that were developed independently (this process is known as convergent evolution)
