A species of elm has winged-seeds. How would biologists explain how a species of elm with winged-seeds evolved from an ancestral

elm species without winged-seeds

Answer:

In an ancestral elm species, mutations gave rise to the phenotypic trait "winged-seeds". Subsequently, selection favored elm plants with winged-seeds that diverged over time to become a separate species

Explanation:

A mutation is a genetic change in the DNA sequence. In general, mutations have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual (i.e., mutations are generally deleterious) and therefore they disappear from the population. However, there are situations where mutations are beneficial and confer an adaptive advantage, thereby increasing their frequency in the population. In this case, mutations associated with the formation of winged-seeds conferred an adaptive advantage (i.e., higher seed dispersal capacity) to individuals who had this phenotypic trait, thereby these individuals had more chances to reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. Eventually, Elm plants with winged-seeds accumulated sufficient genetic differences to prevent interbreeding, leading to the formation of a separate species.

All I ask is for ☝️one favor please. Describe how limiting factors has an impact on population of species
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: It can decrease or increase a population of species.

Explanation: Limiting factors include the availability of food, water, shelter, and etc. When a population of species are limited in any of these, they either move or adapt to their environment. So, population tends to decrease. The population that may finds an abundance of resources will find that their numbers tend to increase. This cycle is repeated over and over again.

Hope this helps!!!

Drag each of the labels into the appropriate position to indicate which blood type is being described.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Type O

Expresses the B agglutinin

Expresses all the major antibodies

The most common US blood type

The universal donor

Type AB+

Expresses all of the major antigens

Expresses the D antigen

The least common US blood type

The universal acceptor

Expresses the Rh factor

Expresses A agglutinogen

Explanation:

Blood type is a grouping of blood into classes that have the presence or absence of antibodies and or antigens on the red blood cell surfaces

The class of blood determines whether the antigens are glycolipids, carbohydrates, proteins or glycoproteins of Type O

The blood type of a person is an inherited trait from both parental gene. There are various blood grouping system with the ABO and Rh systems being the most important as they determine the suitability of a given blood for transfusion.

Answer:

Chlorophyll Breaks Down

Explanation:

because of changes in the length of daylight and changes in temperature, the leaves stop their food-making process. The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible
