Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Mutations are changes that occur in the DNA sequences as a result of environmental factors like exposure to some certain chemicals or radiation that can be passed down to the offspring and this increases genetic variations which can prevent permanent fixation of an allele.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Yes...This is an example of speciation by natural selection

Explanation:

As we know that natural selection always promote those evolutionary changes that are necessary. Changes that happen in chromosome number always promote with a specie that is closely related to the parent specie and produce fertile off-springs. These new generations are most adaptable and can survive in the environment more efficiently than the previous ones.

Additionally, other than natural selection, speciation can also happen as a result of random mutations, genetic drift and by means of artificial selection as well. But the natural likelihood of all these is probably low as compared to that of natural selection.

Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between hibiscus flowers and bumblebees that eat hibiscus nectar and
Setler [38]

Answer:

The options are not included but the relationship between them is MUTUALISM.

Explanation:

The question depicts a relationship between two different species of organisms (hibiscus and bumblebees) called Symbiosis. Symbiosis can be of different types depending on whether the effect of the relationship on the involved organisms. The type in this case is MUTUALISM, which is a relationship between two organisms that are both benefitting from the relationship.

The bumblebees are benefitting from the relationship by getting fed from the nectar produced by the hibiscus flower plant while the hibiscus is benefitting from the relationship by getting its pollen transferred to another plant by the bees.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

2-Water helps maintain body temperature.

3-Diuretics like alcohol and some medications can cause the body to lose water.

Explanation:

Dehydration occurs when the amount of what loss is more than the amount taken. And we lose water in many ways therefore taking water on a regular basis is important to replace the fluids lost and keep the body functioning.

Water Maintains the Body Temperature

During high temperature, the body cools itself naturally by sweating and by sweating a large amount of water is lost. So when enough water is not taken, there will be less production of sweating thereby causing the body's temperature to rise.

Alcohol Causes Water Loss

Taking excess alcohol can result to dehydration because the hormone called anti-diuretic (while alcohol is diuretic) is used to reabsorb water by the body and alcohol in the body depletes the production of this hormone. The body loses more water than normal with a reduced amount of anti-diuretic in the body. Excessive intake of alcohol can also cause vomiting, which depletes the body of fluids and can cause further dehydration.

Q1.2. Suppose you decide to design an experiment
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is :

Independent variable: study music.

Dependent  variable: test performance.

Explanation:

Independent variable in a experiment is a variable or a factor that is manipulated or changed in a particular experiment to see its the effect on dependent variable of this change. In this case classical music is variable as it is manipulated to see if it has any effect on studying.

Dependent variable is a variable which is measured in experiment to find the result and affected by the independent variable. In this case testing the performance of subject is dependent variable as it is being measured and affected by classical music.

Thus, the correct answer is: Independent variable: study music.

Dependent  variable: test performance.
