Answer:

The key elements of an amino acid are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N).

Glucose is a hydrocarbon, so it contains carbon (C), and hydrogen (H). It also contains oxygen (O).

Nucleic acids are complex arrangements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous.

Answer:

This is an example of "Disruptive selection".

Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when selective pressure favor homozygous. In equilibrium, the two alleles might be present or one of them might be lost. If an environment has two extremes, then in these environments, both alleles are presented in homozygous.

The disruptive selection causes an increase in the two types of extreme phenotypes over the intermediate forms. Limits between one extreme and the other are frequently very sharped. Individuals belonging to one phenotype can not live in the same area as individuals belonging to the other phenotype, due to the traits differences between them, competition, or predation.

Populations show two favored extreme phenotypes and a few individuals in the middle. Individuals who survive best are the ones who have traits on the extremes forms. Individuals in the middle are not successful at survival or reproduction.

Color is very important when it comes to camouflage. Dark green caterpillars that live in dark foliage and light green caterpillars that live in light foliage can hide from predators more effectively and will live the longest. Intermediate colored green caterpillars that don't camouflage or blend into either will be eaten more quickly.

What is the function of the water monitor lizards claws

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Claws. These strong, curved claws can tear flesh and inflict fearsome wounds. Water Monitors eat only meat and sometimes tackle prey nearly their own size. Claws may allow the Arboreal taxa to physically separate themselves from the larger monitors of the savannah by living in trees, eliminating them as competition and potential predators.
