Describe the accepted theory during redi's time explaining the origin of the flies

1 answer:

3 0

During the time of Fransesco Redi, the 17th century, people believed in spontaneous generation of organisms from non-living thing, or abiogenesis.

The people of that time believed that living things, such as flies, arise from non-living things spontaneously. Fransesco Redi challenged this belief and set up the famous fruit fly experiment to demonstrate that life comes from pre-existing life, and not from non-living things such as meat and fruit.

Marrrta [24]

This shows that the so called hot spots on the tectonic plates are moving along with the actual tectonic plate. Because volcanoes form on hot spots, the most chain of active and non active volcanoes proves that if the hot spots are moving, so are the tectonic plates.

Which reproductive isolating mechanism is most likely responsible for the divergence of bonobos and chimpanzees?

olga nikolaevna [1]

The reproductive isolating mechanism most likely responsible for the divergence of bonobos and chimpanzees is ECOLOGICAL ISOLATION.
The ecological mechanism of reproductive isolation is also known as TEMPORAL ISOLATION or HABITAT ISOLATION. This includes the barrier for reproduction that leads to isolation such as different habitats or any physical barriers.

A line graph has a vertical axis labeled "Average plant mass (g)^ * and a horizontal axis labeled "Herbicide (g/plant)." What in

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is D. The average mass of plants exposed to 3 g of herbicide was 10g.

Explanation:

As the vertical axis is labelled as average plant mass, it will make the y- coordinate.

As the horizontal axis is labelled as Herbicide (g/plant), it will make the x-axis.

The coordinates for the given value are (3,10). 3 will be the value of the x- coordinate. Hence, it will show the average mass of the plant at the plotted point which will be 3 g.

10 will show the value of the y- coordinate which will be the amount of herbicide given to the plant.

Hence, Dis the correct option.
