If lions attack the slowest animal in a herd, it is beneficial to the herd in the following ways:

1.) Evolutionarily, the faster herd members survive and breed, increasing the speed of the offspring and guaranteeing better survival for the future population.
2.) The lions focus on the straggling animal, allowing the rest of the herd to escape.
3.) The death of one herd member ensures the survival of many more.

OPTIONS:

a. When there are just two other people at the party.

b. When everyone is wearing a nametag.

c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party.

d. When the need for help from the person who is having a heart attack is very clear

Answer:

c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party.

Explanation:

Bystander effect is a term used in social psychology to describe the tendency of an individual to intervene in the event of an emergency to offer help to the person needing it, when others are present at the scene of the emergency.

In the case of an emergency just like the scenario stated in the question, where someone develops a heart attack at a dance party, if the party has more people, the slimmer the chance of the person getting help from any of the 50 people at the party, as the presence of others would tend to discourage the any individual from attempting to help the victim having the heart attack.

The situation that would more likely show the bystander intervention effect is <em>"c. When there are more than 50 people attending the same party."</em>

Humans and hogs have differences in only 1 out of the 51 amino acids in their insulin proteins. Hogs and guinea pigs have differ
balu736 [363]

Humans are more closely related to hogs than hogs are to guinea pigs.

Explanation:

The difference in the amino acid sequence of a protein is used to know the  relation between organism i.e. how closely they are related.

It is known that proteins are the result of DNA sequence ie genes of the organism.

The gene or protein is compared between organisms to understand the evolutionary evidence and similarities between them.

The less is the difference the more is the two organisms closely related as in the case of hog and human which have only 1 amino acid difference in their insulin enzyme. While guinea pig is having  a difference of 17 amino acids so it is expected to be distantly related.

These relations helps the scientist to resolve the issues of crisis say insulin. They zero out the possibility of extracting the enzyme genes of possible organism and increase the yield.

In the product 6O2, what does the coefficient mean? There are 12 molecules of O2, There are 8 molecules of O2, There are 6 molec
mars1129 [50]
There are 6 molecules of O2.



"O2" is the formula for one molecule oxygen, which has 2 atoms.

The subscript (small) "2" tells you how many atoms are in the molecule.

The coefficient is the big number tells you the number of molecules.

In 6O2, there are 12 atoms in total (6 molecules of 2 atoms each).
