Soil scientists use the capital letters O, A, B, C, and E to identify the master soil horizons<span>, and lowercase letters for distinctions of these horizons. Most soils have three major horizons: the surface horizon (A), the subsoil (B), and the substratum (C). Some soils have an organic horizon (O) on the surface, but such a horizon can also be buried. The master horizon, E, is used for subsurface horizons that have a significant loss of minerals (eluviation). Hard bedrock, which is not soil, uses the letter R.</span>
Answer:
This is an example of "Disruptive selection".
Explanation:
<em>Disruptive selection</em> occurs when <em>selective pressure</em> <em>favor homozygous</em>. In equilibrium, <em>the two alleles might be present or one of them might be lost</em>. If an environment has two extremes, then in these environments, both alleles are presented in homozygous.
The disruptive selection causes an <em>increase</em> in the two types of <em>extreme phenotypes over the intermediate forms</em>. Limits between one extreme and the other are frequently very sharped. Individuals belonging to one phenotype can not live in the same area as individuals belonging to the other phenotype, due to the traits differences between them, competition, or predation.
Populations show two favored extreme phenotypes and a few individuals in the middle. Individuals who survive best are the ones who have traits on the <u>extremes forms</u>. Individuals in <u>the middle</u> are not successful at survival or reproduction.
<em>Color</em> is very important when it comes to <em>camouflage</em>. Dark green caterpillars that live in dark foliage and light green caterpillars that live in light foliage can <em>hide from predators</em> more effectively and will live the longest. Intermediate colored green caterpillars that don't camouflage or blend into either will be eaten more quickly.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
A. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 6.6. - this is true. The optimum pH of the enzyme is where its activity is the highest. On the graph, this is pH 6.6 (activity at 100)
B. The optimum pH of the enzyme is 5.8. - this is false, the activity of the enzyme peaks at 6.6 (100), at 5.8 the activity is 80
C. The enzyme's activity is greater around pH 8.0 than around pH 5.0 - This is false, the activity at pH 5 is 50, whereas at around 8 it is 20.
D
. The enzyme's activity continually increases as pH increases from 5.0 to 9.0 - this is false. The activity drops between pH 6.6 and pH 9.
Answer: No, all the bugs did not die.
Explanation: Some bugs will survive and adapt to the sprayed stuff.
A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.
Explanation:
The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.
Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.
It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.
