On an island, finches that fed on large, hard seeds had large beaks. Finches with small beaks fed on small, soft seeds. A drough

t changed the vegetation on the island. After this period, the number of seeds declined. The decrease in small, soft seeds was greater than the decrease in large, hard seeds. What are two ways the decrease in seed availability will affect the population of birds on the island?
The population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island.
The population of birds with small beaks will increase on the island.
The trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection.
The trait for small beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection.
The population of birds with large beaks and birds with small beaks will be equal on the island.

Answer:

The correct options are:

  • <em>The population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island.</em>
  • <em>The trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection.</em>

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection, those organisms tend to survive in an environment which are better adapted to live in an environment and which can better adapt to changes that occur in an environment.

The drought caused the small, soft seeds to decrease more in number as compared to the large, hard seeds. As a result, the birds having large beaks were better adapted to live in the environment as compared to the birds having small beaks. So the population of the large beak birds increased and they passed their characteristics to the future generations.

Which Punnet square represents a cross between two parents that are heterozygous for purple flowers
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Punnett square is a square diagram which is used to predict the genotype of the offspring produced by particular cross.

Let P and p be the alleles of the gene responsible for the flower colors in a plant.

The genotype of both the parents is given as heterozygous that is, Pp.

Two types of gametes would be formed P and p.

The cross is shown in the image below.

The cross would be result in offspring with three types of genotypes PP, Pp and pp in 1:2:1.

There are 6 molecules of O2.



"O2" is the formula for one molecule oxygen, which has 2 atoms.

The subscript (small) "2" tells you how many atoms are in the molecule.

The coefficient is the big number tells you the number of molecules.

In 6O2, there are 12 atoms in total (6 molecules of 2 atoms each).

Answer;
 $A7
If cell reference $A5 in a formula is copied and pasted over two columns and down two rows from its original cell, the cell reference in the new cell becomes $A7. 

Explanation; 
Absolute cell reference is a cell address that contains a dollar sign, $, in the row or column coordinate, or both.  such that when you enter a cell reference in a formula, the Excel assumes it is a relative reference unless you change it to an absolute reference.

An undersupply of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter known as ________ is linked to seizures.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Explanation:

Epileptic seizures are induced by a preponderance of electrical activity within the network of neurons in the brain. Synapsis is the meeting point between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. Electrical signals don't cross through the synapsis, instead, they are conveyed in a chemical form by neurotransmitters.

The neurotransmitters convey messages across the synapsis in a chemical form until they find to the receptor of the dendrite of the receiving neuron. Neurotransmitters can either be excitatory or inhibitory in function i.e. the receiving neuron can either be stimulated to action or inhibited from action. The main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain are Glutamate and Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) respectively.

There must be a balance between excitation and inhibition of neurons, in order to ascertain the optimal functioning of the brain. Too much Glutamate or too little of GABA can make neurons hyperexcitable and hyperexcitability of neurons makes the brain susceptible to seizures.
