They replace the lost ions by active uptake through active transport
of ions from the surrounding waters. This is exhibited in freshwater fishes that
actively take in these ions through the gills. Most of the ions involved in osmoregulation in freshwater are those of Na+ and Cl-.
Answer:
Most peppered moths used to be grey with dark spots, but have evolved to be mostly black. This is because pollution from the Industrial Revolution threw soot on the trees causing them to look black. This gave the black moths camouflage from predatory birds meaning they survived and reproduced. By survival of the fittest, the peppered moths became black like the trees.
Explanation:
Two ways:
1. In prophase I of meiosis the homologous chromosomes synapse and crossing over occurs. This switches sections of two of the sister chromatids so the outer two chromatids have the same mix of alleles as the parents and the inner two chromatids have new combinations of alleles.
2. Meiosis puts only one of each kind of chromosome in the gametes, selecting one of each homologous pair at random. Then when each gamete joins with the gamete from the other parent, there are practically infinite combinations of the alleles possible.
Answer:
Temperature and precipitation.
Explanation:
Climate is defined as long-term climate patterns in a location. Looking at average temperature and precipitation through time is the simplest way to characterize the climate.
Temperature and precipitation are the two most significant factors in the climate of a place. Obviously, the annual average area temperature is significant, but the annual temperature range is important as well. Some locations range from the highest to the lowest temperature significantly wider than others. Average precipitation is very essential, but the annual change in precipitation is equally important. Some regions experience approximately the same precipitation year-round. For half of the year, other locations have very low precipitation while the other portion of the year has lots of precipitation.
