Answer;

-Birth defects

Explanation;

In animals, long-term exposure to DDT can cause death or severe birth defects.

-DDT stands for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane. It is an insecticide/pesticide previously used on crops. DDT has an adverse impact on many organisms such as crayfish, fish, shrimp,  and other animals such as mammals.

DDT is slightly to moderately acutely toxic to mammals, including people, if eaten.Animals given potentially fatal doses of DDT develop liver lesions and those given DDT over a long period of time develop liver changes. In these animal populations DDT may cause birth and reproductive defects.

Until the , only one-celled organisms lived on land, but during this period, plants became abundant.
Anestetic [448]

The answer is Silurian period (443 million to 416 million years ago). This was the era when life in the seas and oceans began to conquer land. This is associated with a period of warm climate, rising sea and ocean levels hence giving shallow-water grounds where reefs developed. Plants like bryophyte began to develop including the emergence of terrestrial arthropods

B. Eggs are known to contain cholesterol, which is a lipid. Did your experiment results indicate a presence of lipids in the alb
Darya [45]

Answer:

According to the result recorded, there was no cholesterol in the albumin solution. This is probably because the cholesterol is in the egg yolk and not the egg white. In order to get a positive response on the presence of cholesterol in eggs, an egg yolk albumin stock needs to be prepared. So using the same procedure as before and only replacing the egg yolk for the egg white, prepare a 0.5 mL of egg yolk with 4.5 mL distilled water mixture in a test tube. Follow the steps given in the lab manual to check for presence of lipids in this albumin stock. Take a filter paper and add one drop of Sudan III solution onto it, let it dry and then place a drop of the stock prepared and analyze if the color transfer happens.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

1. Biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants, animals, and other forms of life. It is concerned not only with habitation patterns but also with the factors responsible for variations in distribution.

2. weathering and other natural forces break down the substrate, rock, enough for the establishment of certain hearty plants and lichens with few soil requirements, known as pioneer species. These species help to further break down the mineral-rich lava into soil where other, less hardy species can grow and eventually replace the pioneer species. In addition, as these early species grow and die, they add to an ever-growing layer of decomposing organic material and contribute to soil formation. This process repeats multiple times during succession. At each stage, new species move into an area, often due to changes to the environment made by the preceding species, and may replace their predecessors. At some point, the community may reach a relatively stable state and stop changing in composition. However, it's unclear if there is always—or even usually—a stable endpoint to succession.

3. I don’t have the video so I’m going to take. Wild guess. Just look up types of finches

4. Broadly speaking, different species are unable to interbreed and produce healthy, fertile offspring due to barriers called mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
These barriers can be split into two categories based on when they act: prezygotic and postzygotic.

I tried my best hope this helps :)
