I do beleive that the answer is c
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
a. The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.
b. The woman may have different gender babies.
c. The woman with less stretch marks has larger skin cells.
d. The woman without stretch marks has more cholesterol in her diet, which affects her cell membranes.
Answer:
The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.
Explanation:
The stretch marks on the hips, stomach and breast of pregnant women is a very common problem. These stretch marks appear pinkish in color which is very difficult to treat.
These stretch marks are the result of the collagen to elastin ratio which increases and stretches. This stretching happens due to the sudden or rapid increase in the weight of the body or the affected portion.
Thus, the selected option is correct.
Answer:
variation
Explanation:
Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA. The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment. Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes. Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.
Example: Peppered moth
In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark. The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten. The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten. Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat. By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%. This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.
Answer:
Valence
Explanation:
In an atom, the electrons at the outermost energy level is called as valence electrons. It is the valence electrons which participates and interacts with the other atoms and form bonds. The valence electrons of an atoms are important as they depict the chemical properties of an element.
Thus the valence electrons resides the outermost shell and surrounds the atomic nucleus.
It provides an objective, standardized approach to conducting experiments and, in doing so, improves their results. By using a standardized approach in their investigations, scientists can feel confident that they will stick to the facts and limit the influence of personal, preconceived notions.
