Answer:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hold the hereditary material that acts as a blueprint for the development and functioning of life process on the earth. It is a blueprint for every cell in every organism.
Its major function is to encode the DNA sequence of amino acid by using the triplet genetic code that code for a specific protein that perform a specific function in the body that are necessary for the normal function of the life processes.
Finches adapt to the new conditions such as drought by changing the size, shape and depth of their beaks. Beak morphology varies according to drought conditions. Since after the drought, vegetation dries out and the hard, big, tough seeds remain, only the finches with deep beaks will survive. Finches adapt via their beaks to different foods sources and different local conditions.
Answer:
of the low pH of the vagina.
Explanation:
The pH of the vagina is maintained at highly acidic levels to prevent the germ buildup. The range of vaginal pH is around 3.8 to 4.5. The very low pH of the vagina creates a hostile environment for sperms and most of the sperms are killed as they enter the vagina due to the acidic pH.
Apart from supplementing the sperms with energy, cervical mucus serves to protect the sperms from the hostile conditions of the vagina. The cervical mucus has an alkaline pH at or near the ovulation to protect sperms from acidic pH of the vagina and to facilitate fertilization.
For evolution to occur:
There must be genetic variation in a population. This provides variation on which natural selection can act. Then natural selection can act by selecting those species which are better adapted to the environmental conditions. Over time those animals that are best suited to the environment only will survive and reproduce. Those organisms successful genes will be preserved and eventually the gene frequency in the population will change, changing the overall characteristics of a population. This is how evolution occurs.
The correct answer is A.
The official guidelines from doctors state that infants should start consuming solid food after the age of six months. In order for the infants to be safe and healthy, they need to be able to sit up, support their back and chew safely before being given solid food.
