Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection states that there is a struggle to survive as organisms compete for resources and try to av

oid predation. Over time, the organisms best adapted will survive and pass their traits on to offspring. Which of the following is the best explanation of the role mutations play in natural selection?
Question 9 options:

All mutations in somatic cells are passed on to offspring and over time as mutations are passed down through generations, populations will change.


Mutations that occur in gametes are always fatal to offspring which prevents new traits from entering into a gene pool.


Mutations provide variation within a population and environmental pressures select for or against these adaptations.


Mutations are always harmful and organisms with mutations will be selected against, leaving those that are best adapted to pass their traits on to offspring

The answer is the 3rd option because adaptations can be good or bad for the population.

Explain how the burning of the food calories in the burning of the wood are similar and how they are different
bekas [8.4K]
Similarity: both burnings lead to energy production and both result in CO2 emission.
difference: food is burned in the process called cellular respiration. this process consists of a few certain stages preventing our body from heat shock.

Select the statements that explain why duplication is a driving force for evolution and the generation of new genes.
Paha777 [63]
<span>It is vitally important to life, any form of life. Life in it's self is what we are all striving to grasp, hold and not let escape. It is the endless search for meaning to understand and comprehend. Evolution which is the symphonic struggle of nature to overcome and create the most suitable specimen ensuring its survival within its species from its predators and the world at large. Duplication is natures way to regenerate and strengthen the gene pool of species. It allows newer generations to improve on the genes to enable it to adapt better to the current environment is is facing. It is a constant and never ending process.</span>

Answer:

Just before the cat drops, it was stationery. Therefore it has energy of position called  potential energy.As it drops, the Gravitational potential energy is converted to Kinetic Energy,The conversion mid- air is P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E, until it touches the ground. As it touches the  ground all the energy is converted to P.E energy of position.

As it runs after mouse the P.E is converted back to Kinetic , energy of motion. As it feeds on the mouse , the chemical energy obtained  as protein from mouse meat.This is later converted back to Mechanical energy as (kinetic and Potential  energy)   in the cat.

rusak2 [61]

Answer and Explanation:

The retina covers the internal phase of the eye. It characterizes by its complex interaction between many morphologically and functionally different cells, which are located in many layers. The principal processing mechanism in the retina is lateral interactions among cells, and the most common lateral processing is lateral inhibition.

Photoreceptors are those cells that receive the light and translate the luminous signal into an electrical signal. These are the cones and sticks.

The horizontal cells intervene in the lateral spatial interaction between photoreceptors.      

Bipolar cells receive information from the photoreceptors and from the horizontal cells and transmit it to the most internal layers in the retina.

The retina is stratified into five layers. One of these is the external plexiform layer, a contact zone between photoreceptors, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, and other cells.    

In the vertebrates´ retina, the lateral inhibition is produced for the first time in the external plexiform layer, through the horizontal cells. These cells connect to photoreceptors, other horizontal cells, and bipolar cells. The connection between horizontal cells might reduce or amplify the photoreceptor answer, and this last one is transmitted by the bipolar cells to the interior of the retina. In photoreceptors, there are two connections to horizontal cells, a direct connection, and an indirect one. The connection between photoreceptors, horizontal cells, and bipolar cells is known as lateral inhibition. By this inhibition, photoreceptors allow the contrasting perception in an image. Lateral inhibition allows discriminating one stimulus from other stimuli, by enhancing contrast and definition. The inhibitory modulation is produced by the inhibitor neurotransmitter GABA.The spacial extension of lateral inhibition changes according to the adaptation to light. Gap junction between horizontal cells and between photoreceptors and horizontal cells might vary with the amount of light.
