Answer:

a) Scales of pine closes and opens up with the variation in moisture content of air.

b) Cold sunglass meets warm moisture laden air and hence water droplet are suspended on the surface of sunglass.

Explanation:

a) Being a natural hygrometer, pine cone through its physiological activities indicate the presence of humidity in air.

The ridges of the pine consists of scales and the seed is inside it. In a humid environment, the scales absorbs moisture and swell and close the cone. This also prevents the seed from rotting due to excess moisture. With the reduction in moisture content of air, moisture in the  scales of pine cone evaporates and the cone open up.

b) Sunglass gets cold since it is inside the airconditioned temperature of car. When the sunglass is placed outside the car window, moisture laden hot wind strikes the cold sunglass and it suspends its moisture there on the surface of glass as water droplets.

The sickle-cell allele produces a serious blood disease in homozygous recessive individuals. why doesn't natural selection elimi
icang [17]

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.

Give ONE suggestion for how humans can lessen their impact on Earth.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Humans must decrease the harmful impact they have on earth or else the human population could go extinct forever. One way to do this is to inform the people on climate change and its effects. Recycling, using metal straws, carpooling, cleaning up beaches, pulling unncessary plugs in your house to reduce electricity usage, and doing so much more can help reduce the risk of climate change and help the world become a much healthier and stable place for humans, plants, animals, and the environment.
