A population of crabs live on a light-colored sandy beach. In this environment there is a population of birds that eat the crabs

. One year, there is a volcanic eruption near the beach and dark volcanic ash covers the beach. The sand is now much darker than it used to be. Scientists studying the area are most likely to predict which outcome?
A.
Some of the light-colored crabs will try to change their body color to be darker and pass on those traits to their offspring.

B.
Some of the light-colored crabs will try to change their body color to be lighter and pass on those traits to their offspring.

C.
Some of the crabs born with the body color traits that do not allow them to escape the birds will likely survive and pass on those traits.

D.
Some of the crabs born with the body color traits that allow them to escape the birds will likely survive and pass on those traits.

Answer:

Your answer is D).

Explanation:

If the crabs are able to avoid being eaten by the birds, then they are most likely darkly colored to blend in with the dark ashen sand, and as Charles Darwin theorized: survival of the fittest.

P.S.- After the birds leave for the day, the crabs can finally get back to vibin' on the beach

Pretend that you are writing a letter to the president proposing ways that the US can reduce its contribution to climate change.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Dear Mr. President,

Your strong voice has called attention to the risks of human-induced climate change and the need to take timely and effective steps to address it. We are pleased to report further progress in our efforts to advise you on climate policy options that could help encourage these steps.

- (Explain what you learned in class today ) I don't know what you were taught in class so you have to figure what to put here.  

Mr. President, our temperatures are consistently rising while moisture is increasingly evaporating. Forest management is merely one piece of the puzzle — something our own firefighters would be quick to remind you. Since 2009, our state has spent more than $130 million on forest health and fire preparedness. These events still overwhelm our residents and resources, because these fires are unlike anything people have seen before.

Sincerely,

Explanation:

hope this helps!

Why is nonpoint source pollution more difficult to control than point source pollution?.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

<em><u>Some water pollution is caused from “point sources” that is discrete locations, from which pollutants are discharged, e.g., a pipe, ditch, ship, or factory smokestack. Point sources originate in large and easy to trace facilities, hence are easier to control. In contrast, pollution from “nonpoint” sources is cumulative, arising from multiple inputs over larger areas, such as farms, city streets, and residential neighbourhoods. Hence, such sources are harder to precisely identify, and because of this uncertainty, nonpoint source pollution is harder to control than the point source.</u></em>

(a) Describe the process by which cells produce the FGF5 pre-mRNA , and include the location
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

mRNA (messanger ribonucleic acid) is produced through the process called transcription in the nucleus. Transcription make ribonucleic acid from deoxyribonucleic acid. The enzyme RNA polymerase creates an RNA molecule that is complementary to the template DNA coping all the information on the DNA into the mRNA formed and 3' to 5' cap are added to stabilize the RNA after which this mRNA then moves from the nucleus where it was produced to the ribosome in the cytoplasm for translation of the information that is coded in the bases.

FGF5 is a gene that is encoded in the DNA.

Fruit flies have a diploid number of 8, and honeybees have a diploid number of 32. In which case will crossing over have greater
skelet666 [1.2K]
Diploid cells are like daughter cells coming from a mother cell called a haploid cell. So the more daughter cells are born, the greater the chance of getting hybrids and creating more diversity on the genetic races existing. In this case, the answer would have to be honeybees.

What is the complementary base sequence of the DNA strands of the template strand reads TTGCACG
Nadya [2.5K]

So there are four types of nucleotides in DNA:

  1. Adenine
  2. Cytosine
  3. Guanine
  4. Thymine

And the complements are:

  1. Adenine ⇄ Thymine
  2. Cytosine ⇄ Guanine

<u>Using this information, the complementary base of TTGCACG is AACGTGC.</u>
