By studying the population over an extended period of time, scientists can discover the change in number of population and its growth.
Florida panther population is listed as endangered, but it is estimated that the number is recovering. The population had grown from about 25 adults in 1995 to roughly 100 in 2010. The updated estimates from the 2017. calculated the number between 120 – 230 panthers which is still not a sustainable population size.
Drip method is one of the mainstays of sustainable agriculture because it : A. reduces soil erosion
Like the name said, Drip irrigation is designed to utilize the least amount of water supply by giving the water to the plant drip by drip. In this method, there is no flow of water that commonly caused the soil erosion (because the water flow cut out the soil little by little)
Answer:
C) production of sperm and eggs
Explanation:
Sperms and eggs are the male and female gametes respectively. Formation of sperms and egg cells require meiotic cell division. Meiosis in sperm mother cells and egg mother cells reduces the chromosome number of half in the sperms and eggs. Meiosis also adds new gene combinations in these gametes by the process of crossing over.
Mitosis cannot reduce the chromosome number to half in the sperms and eggs. Absence of crossing over in mitosis leads to the formation of genetically identical progeny cells from mitosis.
Hence, mitosis can not form sperms and egg cells. If it does, the sperms and egg cells would not have genetic variations and there would be doubling of chromosome number with each round of sexual reproduction.
2. The evolutionary process through which new species emerge
<u>Evolution is sometimes a controversial:</u>
Evolution is the most scientific explanation about how the life forms of earth originated and turned into the form that we see today.
I don’t think there should be a controversy because there is no other explanation that proves to be more logical than the theory of evolution. Evolution is a theory that has several supporting proofs and the theory itself was formed after several years of detailed study and observation.
I don’t think alternatives to evolution should be taught at schools. Alternative theories to evolution are based on various religious beliefs which lack a scientific basis.
Schools should be a place that enables students to do productive scientific thinking and teaching alternatives to evolution wouldn’t be a good idea.
