why would shuffling genetic material to produce new combinations of characteristics be advantageous to a species?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Suffling of genetic material increases genetic variation in offspring which is important for evolution.

Explanation:

Genetic shuffling or genetic recombination helps in the formation of new trait combinations which increase the genetic variation in the population and this genetic variation is very much important for the evolution of species.

In sexual reproduction, the genetic shuffling occurs during the formation of gametes when the two homologous chromosomes exchange their genetic material with each other. This increase variation in gametes.

Fusion of two different gametes in sexual reproduction also helps in increasing the genetic variation in the offspring.

How does a catalyst work? using these options...
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: D) By decreasing the activation energy of a reaction

A catalyst is a substance that speed up the rate of chemical reaction without affecting the product of the reaction. They only affect the rate of reaction not the yield of reaction.

Catalyst provide an alternative reaction pathway that has lower activation energy  than that of uncatalysed reaction. It increases the frequency of collision and because of these greater collision which lowers the activation energy of the reaction.

Explain why cold-blooded organisms like reptiles have a higher rate of secondary productivity than warm-blooded mammals.
PIT_PIT [208]
Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.

How does photosynthesis contribute to the organism’s energy needs
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food. Cells then use this energy to perform work, such as cellular respiration.
