Answer:
isolation is a significant factor in adaptation and speciation
Explanation:
In the theory of evolution by natural selection proposed by Darwin, adaptation refers to the adjustment of organisms to their environments in order to increase their chances of survival in that environment. In the Galapagos Islands, Darwin observed that finches had different types of beaks adapted to the type of food they ate. From this observation, Darwin proposed that finches evolved to eat different food sources. In this case, the islands lead to an adjustment (evolutionary) process by which geographically isolated individuals accumulate genetic differences in order to adapt them to the environmental conditions in the islands, which then may also prevent breeding between individuals from different islands when they are reunited (i.e., it may also lead to speciation).

an arrow to illustrate the
direction of heat flow.
Answer:
Explanation:
When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.

How does deforestation impact greenhouse gases in the atmosphere the most?
A.
Deforestation increases the build-up of greenhouse gases because the removed trees would have consumed carbon dioxide.
B.
Deforestation removes trees, which shelter organisms that release gases that purify the air.
C.
Deforestation decreases the amount of greenhouse gases because trees produce many of them.
Answer:
Deforestation increases the build-up of greenhouse gases because the removed trees would have consumed carbon dioxide.
Explanation:
Answer:
A. Deforestation increases the build-up of greenhouse gases because the removed trees would have consumed carbon dioxide.
Explanation:
Burning fossil fuels, in combination with the destruction of carbon sinks due to deforestation and other activities, has contributed to more and more carbon dioxide building up in the atmosphere – more than can be absorbed from existing carbon sinks such as forests.
What happens to a population when its size is equal to the carrying capacity?
a. Its size fluctuates wildly.
b. It increases in size.
c. Its size stays steady.
d. It decreases in size.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
When a population reachs its carrying capacity it will slow down and become steady due to the population reaching its limit on food, water, etc. and they can only feed so many.
When population size is equal to the carrying capacity then "Its size stays steady".
What is population ?A population means the total number of individuals who cohabit in a certain area.
What is steady-state?A biofilm that exhibits no net growth or degradation over time is usually referred to as a steady-state biofilm.
A population might slow down and stabilize once it reaches it's own carrying capacity since it will no longer be able to consume as much food, water, and other resources.
Therefore, the correct answer will be option (c)

Which of the following describes a portion of the water cycle that is not driven by
gravity? O
(1 Point)
B) Precipitation of water that has condensed from clouds
D)Water seeping into the ground to enter an aquifer
C)Water flowing in a river toward the ocean
A) Evaporation of water from the ocean to form clouds
The correct answer is A. Evaporation of ocean water to form clouds.
Explanation
The water cycle is a series of physical-chemical phenomena in which water goes through three states (liquid, solid and gaseous). In this process, the water in a liquid state is evaporated becoming in a gaseous state, and rising towards the sky (against the force of gravity) forming clouds. Once in the clouds, the water condenses, going from a gaseous to a liquid state. After this process, the water precipitates by the action of gravity towards the earth where a process such as the filtration of water in the soil occurs, forming aquifers, the accumulation of water in the rivers that flow into the sea, the freezing of water on the snowy peaks of the mountains, among others. According to the previous explanation, the correct answer is A. Evaporation of ocean water to form clouds.

The role of the 23S rRNA of the large ribosomal subunit of E. coli during protein synthesis is: Question 50 options: helps to form the A site within the ribosome contributes to the process of translocation during the elongation stage of protein synthesis none of these choices is correct actively forms a peptide bond by acting as a ribozyme aid in initiation of protein synthesis
Answer:
Actively forms a peptide bond by acting as a ribozyme aid in initiation of protein synthesis.
Explanation:
The role of the 23S rRNA of the large ribosomal subunit of E. coli during protein synthesis is the formation of a peptide bond by acting as a ribozyme aid in initiation of protein synthesis. 23S rRNA has an important function of peptidyl transferase. Both peptidyl-tRNA and aminoacyl-tRNA are necessary for synthesis of protein and transpeptidation response. The 23S rRNA positions have a significant function in the binding of tRNA in P site of the large ribosomal subunit.

If humans are really intelligent and not simply manipulated by their genes like
any other animal, why can't they do anything about overpopulation?
Answer:
Explanation:
What about war? Why can't we do anything about war?
How about our needs and wants beyond shelter and food?
Of all the things plaguing the world, I think over population is one of the things we can do something about. You are right. But needs and wants play a huge role in why we can't seem to do anything right.
Of course on thinking it over, we have problems that have their roots in overpopulation like pollution.
Because of global climate change, arctic landscapes and ecosystems are changing rapidly and perceptibly, as the residents of Newtok, Alaska, can attest. With the land upon which they have built their homes slowly melting and sinking, they have appealed to the state and federal governments for assistance in helping them cover the costs of moving their town to a different location. Ironically,
A) the land upon which the Alaskan state government buildings are located is also melting.
B) the residents of Newtok have discovered oil on their land, making their appeal for funds less convincing.
C) a senator from Alaska has a vacation home in Newtok, Alaska, and so is personally committed to the predicament of the town.
D) decades ago, the U.S. government mandated that they and other Alaskan natives abandon a nomadic life based on hunting and fishing for sedentism.
E) the economic activity of the town of Newtok is extremely polluting and thus a big contributor to the environmental changes that have turned its residents into the first climate change refugees in the United States.
Answer:
The correct answer is D)
Decades ago, the U.S. government mandated that they and other Alaskan natives abandon a nomadic life based on hunting and fishing for sedentism.
Explanation:
Sedentism is simply the practice of settling in one geographical location for a long time.
Many governments encourage this to ensure that agricultural systems become developed and more sustainable as was the case in Alaska.
Other governments in some part of the world are also in support albeit for a different reason such as security of lives and property.

a mass extinctions is
Answer:
Mass extinction is when biodiversity or species in a living habitat decreases to about three-fourths of its original number or to none. Such an event is identified by a sharp change in the diversity and abundance of multicellular organisms. It occurs when the rate of extinction increases with respect to the rate of speciation. Mass extinctions are usually associated with organisms that are macroscopic rather than microscopic. Examples of mass extinctions are Permian extinction of marine species, and Cretaceous extinction of various species, including dinosaurs.
