I can answer the third one:
Photosynthesis takes place in two stages<span>: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).</span>
Complete question:
In a separate study, 68 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Sonora, Mexico. The other three were in Chihuahua, Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three Chihuahua locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Sonora population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 68 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Sonora mice were absent from the three different populations of Chihuahua mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the Chihuahua populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases.
How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
Answer:
The study supports the concept that natural selection is not random because in different areas with the same or very similar environmental characteristics, the same phenotype was produced by different types of mutations.
Explanation:
All of the sampled animals are inhabiting dark substrate. Probably animals needed to camouflage to survive. Natural selection must have driven them to produce dark color, similar to the substrate color. So animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. The environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
Uhhhhh what’s the question
Answer:
i am pretty sure its indicator
Its chlorophyll pigment would be adapted to utilizing the blude-green spectrum of sunlight for photosynthesis rather than the red spectrum like land plants. This is because red light is absorbed by the oceans and does not reach greater depths (this is why oceans appear blue). These plants would therefore appear red in color.
Plants that live in the oceans have air-spaces in their leaves that that help them stand upright in water. They use buoyancy for structural integrity. This is why even long plants such as kelp seem to be upright in water (but will collapse when put on land).
