Concentrations of this toxin are found in the ant as well as in the lizard and the bird, as they are part of the same food chain. The lizard eats ants and the bird eats the lizard. This phenomenon is called biomagnification.

Biomagnification refers to the cumulative increase in concentrations of a persistent substance as one moves up the food chain (trophic chain).

Biomagnification is therefore a process in which the concentration of a substance present in a biotope increases throughout a food chain; by extension, the result of this process.

At one time, Chondrichthyes were thought to have diverged from other vertebrates before the evolution of bone. Now we have concl
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Characteristics can be lost in evolution.

Explanation:

The new evidence helps in developing a new hypothesis. In this case, new evidence proved that the Chondrichthyes diverged after the evolution of bone had started instead of before the evolution started. This process called atavism where an ancestral genetic trait reappears after having lost. This leads to loss of the traits in the evolution

This can take place by knocking the mutation out to overriding the gene by the old gene or overriding the new trait by the old trait during the evolution period.

What is microgravity, and what causes it?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The answer is because they are in free fall. In a vacuum, gravity causes all objects to fall at the same rate. The mass of the object does not matter. If a person drops a hammer and a feather, air will make the feather fall more slowly. But if there were no air, they would fall at the same acceleration.

What does "enzymes are organic catalysts" mean?
aksik [14]

Answer: Catalyst. Any molecule that will increase the rate of a chemical reaction, does not participate directly in the reaction and therefore is reusable, and does not supply the energy for the reaction (heat or ATP does). Enzymes work on one reactant, called a. Substrate.
