Answer:

A fish breathes by first opening its mouth to gulp water in and then opening its gill flaps to let water out.

Explanation:

Gills are feathery organs full of blood vessels. A fish breathes by taking water into its mouth and forcing it out through the gill passages. As water passes over the thin walls of the gills, dissolved oxygen moves into the blood and travels to the fish's cells.

A carbon atom can bond with other atoms in a variety of ways. Wich set of bonds would a typical carbon atom in a compound
notsponge [240]

Answer:

A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds as one carbon atom has four valence electrons (in outermost shell). It is a fact that the number of valence electrons in a atom determines the number of covalent bonds it will form. Thus, each electron in carbon atom is used to form four covalent bonds with various four atoms.

Explanation:

A bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a non-polar covalent bond. The non-polar covalent bond are the bonds between two atoms which share equal number of electron(s) with each other. Example: as in case of methane, where one carbon atom shares its 4 outer valence electrons with four hydrogens by sharing equal number of electron.

In contrast, polar covalant bond are the bonds between two atoms which share unequal number of electron(s) with each other. Thus these bonds are partially ionic.

Explain with scientific reason that origin of life was associated with some chemical reactions.​
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Darwin's theory of biological evolution tells us that all life on earth may have originated from a single, relatively simple reproducing creature living in the distant past. This idea is based on many observations, one of which is that when living things reproduce, children are often born with random new traits.

Consider the following three populations of birds. Assume HW equilibrium. With these birds red coloring is recessive, while brow
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Red allele frequency will be highest in population II

Population III can undergo bottleneck effect

The frequency of the brown allele will  least likely be altered in the population I

Explanation:

Population I -

Total population - 670

Brown birds - 603

Red birds - 67

Population II

Total population - 100

Brown birds - 90

Red birds - 10

Population III

Total population - 30

Brown birds - 27

Red birds - 3

Frequency of red birds in population I

\frac{67}{670} = 0.1

Frequency of red birds in population II

\frac{10}{90} = 0.11

Frequency of red birds in population III

\frac{3}{30} = 0.1

Red allele frequency will be highest in population II and it will be equal to \sqrt{0.11} = 0.33 as compared to 0.31 in case of population I and III

Population III can undergo bottleneck effect because of smaller population size

The frequency of the brown allele will  least likely be altered in the population that has highest  brown individual , i.e population I
