You encounter someone who has never heard of evolution, and they ask you about a population of ducks that live in their grandmot

hers pond. They tell you that 10 years ago the pong had both large eyed ducks and small eyed ducks. But one day 2 of the large eyed ducks were killed by some wild dogs. Now, the population of ducks has entirely small eyed. Identify the mechanism of change in the duck scenario and use it as evidence to explain evaluation to that person.

Answer:

The large eyed ducks had an undesirable trait, but the small eyed ducks have a desirable trait. Because the large eyed ducks had a trait that decreases their chances of survival, they wete killed. But small eyed ducks are lucky because they have a trait that increases their chance of survival. The small eyed ducks reproduce more offspring that have small eyes, but the large eyed ducks cannot because they didn't survive. This causes that the allele for large eyes in the gene pool to decrease.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

3' C C T A G G C (T) G C A A T C C 5'

The primer RNA will be 5' A C G U U A G G 3'

Polymerization of the new stand is taking place from 5' to 3' direction. This means the the template strand is read from 3' to 5' direction.

In DNA synthesis chargaff base pairing rule is always maintain. If ''A'' is present on the template strand ''T''enters in that place on the newly synthesized DNA .

RNA primase synthesizes this short primer. RNA primer contains RNA nucleotides this means If ''A'' is on the template strand, the RNA primer will be ''U''

Plant Tissue Types- List the 4 types of plant tissue and their function
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

ground tissue- is the most common type of plant tissue found in the interior of the plant and can support, store and provide photosynthesis for the plant. Made up of 3 basic plant cells ( Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma cells)

dermal tissue- Provides cover and protection for plant. Usually found on the outside similar to skin. Epidermis cells make up the dermal layer and secrete a waxy substance called the cuticle that also protects the plant.

vascular tissue- includes xylem & phloem and helps with water and food transport. The xylem and phloem are kept together in vascular bundles running throughout the ground tissue.

meristem tissue- is growth tissue. This tissue made up of rapidly dividing cells and can be found at the tips of the roots and stems of plants. the growth areas of tips of roots and stems is called APICAL MERISTEM and the secondary growth that makes a plant wider is called LATERAL MERISTEM.

masha68 [24]

The correct answer is option B, that is, covalent bonds.  

Covalent bonds are more prevalent in organic chemistry in comparison to ionic bonds. A covalent bond comprises of the concurrent attraction of two nuclei for one or more electron pairs. The electrons situated between the two nuclei are known as bonding electrons.  

Covalent bonds take place between different atoms or similar atoms whose difference in electronegativity is not enough to permit the transfer of electrons to produce ions. The covalent bond is demonstrated by either as a solid line or long dash or as a pair of dots.

Features of xerophytes​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Xerophyte survival characteristics:

Thick cuticle.

Stomatal closure.

Reduction in # of stomata.

Stomata hidden in crypts or depressions in leaf surface (less exposure to wind and sun).

Reduction in size of transpiration surface (lower leaf only).

Increased water storage.

Explanation:

Xerophyte adaptations increase water intake, limit water loss, and store water efficiently. Water intake adaptations include deep or widespread roots, and high salt content to increase osmosis. Xerophytes have thick cuticles, lost or finely divided leaves, reduced stomata, and CAM photosynthesis

valina [46]

Answer:

limiting factors

Explanation:

The ecological optimum represents the value of the factors within the ecological valence at which the life processes of a species take place best. The upper and lower limits of an ecological valence are its maximum and minimum. Beyond these limits, physiological processes are interrupted and death occurs.
