A population of insects has a brown color, providing them with camouflage on the desert sands where they live. Over thousands of

years, climate changes in the area cause grasses to grow, and the population of insects becomes green over the same period of time. Which term describes what has taken place in the population of insects?
a. mutation
b. evolution
c. migration
d. variation

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Evolution is a change in the gene pool of a population over time. It occurs throughout the whole population. The gene pool in this situation changes from consisting of genes for mostly brown-colored insects to green. Mutation only occurs in individuals. Migration refers to population moving locations. Variation is just the different genes in a gene pool.

Why food must be digested before entering your cells?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body.     Protein must be broken down into amino acids.     Starches break down into simple sugars.     Fats break down into into fatty acids and glycerol.

Biotechnology has allowed us to genetically modify corn with a gene that acts as a pesticide. What could be a possible environme
Sergio [31]
<span>Since a gene that acts as a pesticide is inserted into a corn, that corn is now safe from insects. This will happen because the corn will probably synthesise protein according to that inserted DNA sequence and that protein will serve as a repellent to the insects. However, the Red Queen's hypothesis in evolution explains that organisms must constantly adapt and evolve in order to survive. This refers to insects. If they could not eat genetically modified corn, they would extinct. So, they must adapt or evolve in order to survive. So, it is expected that insects that are resistant to this specific pesticide would develop through the time.</span>

4. Which of the following elements does not want to have eight valence electrons? a. magnesium c. hydrogen b. oxygen d. nitrogen
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Hydrogen.

Explanation:

Hydrogen is the simplest chemical element that exists. The symbol for the chemical element Hydrogen is "H" and it is a colourless, tasteless, odorless, and highly flammable gas.

Hydrogen is a chemical element found in group (1) of the periodic table and as such it has one (1) electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, Hydrogen has an atomic number of one (1) and a single valence electrons because it has only one proton and one electron in its nucleus.

Based on the octet rule which states that atoms of chemical elements gain, lose or share electrons so as to have eight (8) electrons in their valence shell. Therefore, atoms of chemical elements bond in order to attain the electronic configuration of a noble gas i.e a full valence shell which comprises of eight (8) electrons.

However, the chemical element "Hydrogen" is an exception to the octet rule because it is only able to hold a maximum of two (2) valence electrons in its outermost shell to become full.

<em>Hence, Hydrogen is an element which does not want to have eight valence electrons. </em>
