The correct answer is letter A. Venom glands and varied diets are the reasons why cane toads are considered as invasive species in Australia. They cause major ecological imbalance within their immediate surroundings and have caused an infestation all over Australia.
Answer:
1- Presence of phenotypic variation
2- some phenotypic variation due to genetic variation
3- the given trait has an impact on fitness
Explanation:
The evolutionary theory by natural selection proposed by Darwin in his publication “On the origin of species” (1859) is based on a series of assumptions that enable to understand the amazing biodiversity on the Earth. First, individuals are not identical among them, i.e., there exists variation in the traits among the members of a given population, species, etc. Second, phenotypic variation leads to differential survival and reproduction of the organisms that are best fitted to the environment (i.e., competence among the members of the population). Finally, phenotypic traits are passed from generation to generation (i.e., phenotypic variation is inheritable), thereby favoring offspring from parents more adapted to the environment.
ABI means Ankle-Brachial Index. ABI is a test used to diagnose peripheral artery
disease. The ABI compares
blood pressure in the ankle to blood pressure in the arm, shows how well blood is flowing in the
limbs and indicates if there is any or no blockage or rigid arteries. The amount of blockage establishes
the level of peripheral artery disease.
The cardiovascular system is a system of organs that facilitates the circulation of blood to all parts of the body. Blood is required to reach all living cells as the blood carries essential elements for cell life and regulation, such as nutrients, amino acids, electrolytes,oxygen and hormones. The blood also has a role in maintaining body temperature, fighting diseases, maintaining a stable pH and maintaining homeostasis. The blood also carries carbon dioxide away from the cells. The cardiovascular system consists of a network of arteries, veins and capillaries, as well as the heart, which acts to pump blood around the body, Blood leaves the heart via arteries and return via veins. The lymphatic system transports lymph, typically at a much slower rate than blood. The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system. Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is not a closed system. The cardiovascular system processes a lot of blood each day through capillary filtration, which separates the blood cells from the plasma. Not all plasma is re-absorbed into the blood vessels, and the lymphatic system is responsible for returning the remaining plasma to the cardiovascular system. <span> </span>
