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.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Pp.

The genotype of one parent is PP. Thus, it will produce only one type of allele, that is, P.

Similarly, the genotype of another parent is pp. Thus, it will produce only one type of gamete, that is, p.

The cross would produce offspring with only one type of genotype, that is, heterozygous Pp.

The phenotype of all the offspring will be purple as it is a dominant trait.

If you measured an entire bar of soap and compared it to the piece of soap from this activity, would the bar and the piece have
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Different mass

Different volume

Same density

Explanation:

Intensive physical properties are those properties of a substance that is not dependent on amount i.e. do not change in response to changes in the amount of the substance. Intensive properties include density, temperature, boiling point etc.

On the other hand, extensive properties are those properties that are dependent on the amount of the substance. For example, mass and volume are extensive properties.

Hence, according to this question, measuring an entire bar of soap and comparing it to a piece of soap, the bar and the piece would have a:

- Different mass ( size dependent)

- Different volume (size dependent)

- Same density (size independent)

During a science experiment, Courtney believes that she may have found a new cell that has never been seen before. This cell inc
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Courtney is looking at Prokaryotic Cell.

Explanation:

Ok, when Courtney is observing the science experiment, and finds a cell that includes DNA and has a nucleoid region but does not have nucleus, it is a prokaryotic cell and only the single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes, where pro means before and kary means nucleus.

Let's explain what is a prokaryotic cell: prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome: a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid. And most prokaryotes have a cell wall outside the plasma membrane.
