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.

Answer:

cellular respiration can be defined as a chemical process which takes place in cell

Explanation:

This chemical process is sometime referred to as internal respiration of tissue"Respiration"for breathing.

Hence, cellular respiration can be said to mean, the oxidation of food substance in the cell.

The primary function of the chromosome is to?
aleksandrvk [35]

Explanation:

<u>Chromosomes store genetic information. </u>

<u></u>

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is preserved as helical DNA within the nucleus. This DNA is tightly wrapped around histones as chromosomes.

Further Explanation:

DNA sequences contain genes that may have different forms called alleles. The genotype of DNA is transcribed into mRNA and subsequently translated into amino acids that are linked together by rRNA to form proteins that form the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in the DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and therefore the encoded protein

Spontaneous changes that occur within the genome during the cell division process, called mutations. These errors occur as copies of DNA are produced inside the cell; mutations can range from small modifications, called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large-scale deletions and multi-gene additions.

glucose is molecule that can move acoss the cell membrane. I f the concentration of glucose is higher than the outside cell what
blondinia [14]

Answer: If the concentration of glucose inside the cell is higher than the one outside the cell, glucose molecules will move from inside the cell to the outside of the cell in a process of diffusion.

Explanation: Diffusion is the movement of solute molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. The inside of the cell has higher glucose concentration i.e., has higher quantity of glucose molecules than outside of the cell which has a lower glucose concentration, therefore glucose molecules will move from inside the cell to outside the cell. The purpose of this is to create a balance in glucose concentrations in the two environments.
