Answer: B. An experiment should cause no harm to the natural world.

Explanation:

A simultation is a model or substance which can be used to mimic the natural phenomena or event.

According to the given situation, the scientists want to know the impact of crude oil if dumped in Lake Michigan.

Instead of using the original oil the use of simulation is better as it will not exert negative influnece over the environment. As oil is expected to contaminate the water which a simulation will not. The oil will cut the supply of atmospheric oxygen in water hence will affect the life of marine animals.

B.
If you were to just dump 10 million liters of crude oil into a lake without knowing what it would do... If the results were bad, then that would harm the environment. (And I guess we all know what will happen if oil is dumped into a lake.)

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The correct option is D. <u>The chemical bond breaks between the second and third phosphate groups.</u>

Explanation:

Adenosine phosphate (ATP) can be described as main energy-carrying molecules which are required by each cell to carry out its normal functions.

A molecule of ATP comprises of the nitrogenous base Adenine, pentose sugar ribose and three molecules of phosphate.

The bond between the second and third molecule carries high amounts of energy. When this bond is broken, huge amounts of energy is released which is used by the cells to carry out essential processes.

Which type of natural selection occurs when an intermediate phenotype is favored?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.

Explanation:

There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.

A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.

A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.

The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.
