A research study looked at variations in snail populations in urban areas compared to natural ecosystems outside of the urban de

velopment. Urban areas tend to be be warmer, trapping more solar energy and reflecting less light back out of the atmosphere. The study found that brown snails were more commonly found in the natural ecosystem while yellow banded snails were found in the urban, developed areas. Which statement best describes the distribution in the phenotypes for the snails in this scenario?
A) The variations in the snail populations are random and unrelated to the locations.

B) The variation in the snail population is due to sexual reproduction of the snails in the urban development and asexual reproduction of the snails in the natural ecosystem.

C) The variation in the snail population is due to mutations while the distribution of colors in the population is due to genetic drift. The location of the colors is a random process.

D) The variation in the snail populations is due to mutations while the distribution of colors in the population is due to the changes in temperature in the two areas. Lighter colored snails survive with greater frequency in the warmer urban development.

What’s the only way mutations can be passed from parents to offspring?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The only mutations that matter to large-scale evolution are those that can be passed on to offspring. These occur in reproductive cells like eggs and sperm and are called germ line mutations. No change occurs in phenotype.

How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells (gametes) compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
The number of chromosomes in a female scorpion’s egg cells have half as many chromosomes as compared in her body cells. Chromosome is a single long molecule of DNA wound around proteins called histones. It is made up of DNA wrapped around proteins.

Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere by animal and human ___ and the burning of ____.
Nadya [2.5K]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be CELL RESPIRATION and FOSSIL FUELS. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere by animal and human cell respiration and the burning of fossil fuels. Human activities such as BURNING FOSSIL FUELS and RESPIRATION cycle carbon through the carbon cycle. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.

A Paramecium has an internal sucrose concentration of 0.040 M, a glucose concentration of 0.035 M, and a fructose concentration
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<u>c. Sucrose and glucose</u>

Explanation:

The paramecium is a large, single-celled microbes, surrounded by a plasma membrane. Simple diffusion occurs in cells across plasma membranes, as a form of passive transport. In diffusion, solutes move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration across the plasma membrane.

Here, the internal environment has higher concentrations of sucrose and glucose, but lower concentrations of fructose, thus the solutes will move along their concentration gradient, to where the concentrations are lower. In order for the fructose molecules to move out of the cell, the molecules have to move against their concentration gradient - a process requiring energy known as active transport.
