Answer:

A) The cornea is the transparent outer covering of the eye,The lens is a curved structure in the eye that that bends light and focuses it for the retina to help you see images clearly.The lens works together with the cornea to focus light correctly on the retina. When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into electrical signals.

B)The iris is the part of the eye that makes up your eye color. A circular muscle with a hole in the middle.The iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye by opening and closing the pupil. The iris uses muscles to change the size of the pupil. These muscles can control the amount of light entering the eye by making the pupil larger or smaller.

C)Rod cells are highly sensitive to light and function in nightvision, whereas cone cells are capable of detecting a wide spectrum of light photons and are responsible for colour vision.

Note - hope this is accurate :)

What is a front?<br><br> -Air Masses and Fronts 9th grade science- <br> HELP ASAP

frez [133]

A air front is typically a transition zone between two unique temperature/humidity. Usually, one front would push the other away (typically if summer is hot, then the warm front will push away the cold, and for the winter, if it's cold, it's the opposite).

A stationary front, on the other hand, is when there is no change in the over all temperature for the region(s), and a occluded front is when the fronts mix, where it is followed by rain and a equillibrium of the temperature, whether to a warmer or cooler overall temperature.

1) Arithmetic density- the number of people per square unit of land
2) Physiologic density- Is the number of people per square unit of farmland.
3) Agricultural density- is the number farmers per unit of farmland.

Evolution creates not the best solution but the most available. Building on your answer to the previous question what does this

Greeley [361]

This statement means that evolution has happened by getting the genes of the right trait expressed at the right time to help adaptability.

Explanation:

Evolution is a result of natural selection which emphasize on the survival of the fittest. But the occurrence of this trait has been possible with genetic variation. It means that if the genes for the particular feature is not present in the genome how would it occur and adapt to the environment. Thus, evolution promotes the most available option for the adaptation and hence for natural selection.

We can conclude that all features are not adaptable some are the results of genetic drift or mutations.

In case of cheetah, the faster running genes would have been there they got expressed over the period of time for better adaptability.
