As a mechanism of evolution, natural selection can be most closely equated with UNEQUAL REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS.

Mechanism of evolution refers to micro-evolution that involves mutation, gene flow and natural selection. Unequal reproductive success is also related to other processes of micro evolution such as natural selection. The organisms that can reproduce unequally and survive even in adverse condition, increase in numbers.

The broadest way to classify the nervous system is to differentiate between the ______ nervous systems.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Central and Peripheral

Explanation:

The nervous system is divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.

On the other hand the peripheral nervous system includes all of the nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord and extend to other parts of the body including muscles and organs. Each part of the system plays a vital role in how information is communicated throughout the body.

The below diagram provides a schematic view of the role of each sub-division  of the Nervous System.

Drag labels at left into the appropriate targets on the right to complete this concept map about oxidative phosphorylation
almond37 [142]

*The key function of each of the two photosystems is to absorb light and convert the energy of the absorbed light into redox energy, which drives electron transport.

In PS II (the first photosystem in the sequence), P680 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes water), and the PS II primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

In PS I, the PS I primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces other compounds that ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH), and P700 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

The following picture shows the three primary types of plate boundaries. Which boundary is being shown in label A? an arrow poin
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The label A corresponds to Convergent boundary zones  

Explanation:  

When two oceanic plates collide, it occurs oceanic convergence. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate, and at this point, it starts the volcanic activity. As the thicker plate descends, it is heated and melted and its materials are incorporated into the mantle. The fast subduction originates magma that ascends to the surface by crevices. This makes place to the formation of grouped <u>volcanic islands</u>, t<u>he island arches</u>. Subduction zones coincide with deep-sea <u>trenches</u> or depressions in the ocean bed. The volcanic islands are arranged in a circumference arch shape, which is bordered by a fossa. Most of these are located in the western Pacific, where the pacific crust is older and thicker, and hence it submerges easier in the mantle.

Fill in the blank. Giraffe necks and mice necks have the same number of vertebrae, despite their different sizes and functions.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

homologous structure

analogous structure

natural selection

This is known as an analogous structure.

To make this determination, you need to think about if the features are the same in function or also in structure. Features that have a closely related structure and function are likely to be related.

To learn more about why your friend is in the hospital, you should research vestigial structures.

These two beetles aren't closely related, but they look and behave similarly. This is because they live in the same environmental conditions and likely share a common ancestor that lived in Gondwana (the supercontinent that included the southern continents before they split apart through plate tectonics).

Australia has so many genetically distinct organisms because it has been separated from other bodies of land by water for a very long time. This has created an opportunity for long-term independence of other geographic areas.

Using the Gizmo, figure out what bears prefer to eat most. Write your results and reasoning in the space below.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Alright, sure thing.

Explanation:

Grizzly bears, like black bears, eat a lot of vegetation, but they also eat more meat than their cousins. Grizzly bears hunt deer, elk, moose, and bison regularly, along with fish like salmon and trout. When meat is not available, they prefer to eat wild beans, nuts, grass, and tubers (a thickened underground part of a stem).
