Answer:
[a] varies in its characteristics according to local environmental circumstances
[b] becomes common within a species through natural selection
[d] tends to promote the well being of an organism in its natural or social environment
Explanation:
The adaptive traits in the living organisms have a simple basic role, that is to make the organism better suited for survival in its environment. The adaptive traits come in all sorts of different shapes, be it some that are manifested in the physical appearance or in the behavior of the organisms. Adaptive traits can be increased speed, prolonged neck, living in a groups, developing thorns and many more. This type of traits occur when the organisms face increased competition or when the environment in which they live starts to change, so in order for them to survive, they start to develop traits that will make them better suited for the new conditions and more competitive. The main principle through which the adaptive traits are transferred and rapidly increase in a population is through natural selection, as the organisms choose the ones that have advantageous traits for their mates, while they live aside the others.
The Guayas River flows through Guyaquil, which is the largest city in
Ecuador. However, it is not the capital city, which is Quito. The Guayas
River has it's name, because it flows through the Guayas province. The
Guayas River does not flow into any ocean or sea. Guayaquil is also the
most populated in Ecuador. The city underwent relatively recently an
"urban renegation" to attract more tourists to that particular region of
Ecuador. This was also to help boost the economy, since at the moment
it mostly consists of small and medium businesses, agriculture and
aquaculture.
Answer:
Hawaii and Kiribati
Explanation:
The biggest time difference in the world is the line islands of Kiribati and the state of Hawaii, in which traveling from Hawaii to the line islands means you would have to change your clock forward 22 hours(almost a full day forward).
Answer:
"All of them except last one."
Explanation:
All of the given options represent NASA future projects:
- Use a probe to collect data- Parker Solar Probe will be the first-ever mission to study the Sun from such a small distance. The spacecraft will travel directly into the Sun's atmosphere about 4 million miles from the surface.
- Improve aviation technology- NASA is currently working on the development of the new experimental aircraft X-plane which will prove the dramatic benefits of advanced technologies in piloted flight.
- Conduct research from a space station- Humans are already living and working on board of the International Space Station which is one-of-a-kind research laboratory in micro gravity. A portion of the astronauts time aboard the space station has been designated for national laboratory investigations.
- Collect samples on an asteroid- First asteroid sample return mission, OSIRIS-R Ex, arrives at the near-Earth asteroid Bennu in December 2018 and should return a sample for study in 2023.
- Conduct an unmanned space mission- In Sight Mars lander is set to study the planet’s interior. The Mars 2020 rover will search for signs of past microbial life, gather samples for future return to Earth and investigate resources. The James Webb Space Telescope will be the premier observatory of the next decade, studying every phase in the history of our Universe in infrared
