Cory states the following argument about the evolution of aardvarks and anteaters.

"Aardvarks and anteaters both use long, sticky tongues to capture and eat ants or termites. Aardvarks are native to Africa, while anteaters are native to the Americas. However, their similarities provide evidence that both groups of species evolved from a common ancestor that used its tongue to eat ant-like insects."

Which claim, if supported by evidence, would provide the strongest counter-argument AGAINST Cory's argument?
A. The tongues and diet of aardvarks and anteaters are an example of convergent evolution.
B. The tongues and diet of aardvarks and anteaters are an example of adaptive radiation.
C. The Americas and Africa were once joined together, and animals roamed freely between the two lands.
D. A long, sticky tongue evolved in response to the tunneling behavior of ants, an example of coevolution.

For the 1st one with the Cheetah: It would be a long tail because it helps them balance when they turn. Sinch Cheetahs move extremely quickly they need a balance to ensure they don't topple over when they turn, this tail provides this balance.

For the 2nd one with the bear: Thick coats on a bare will help provide warmth whenever they go to hybernate. Thin fur would leave room for freezing and wouldn't be able to help them maintain the proper body temperature.

The 3rd one with the clownfish: A round tail provides a bigger boost when swimming since it is able to push more water. A forked tail would create a gap when they swim so they would have to expend more energy than with a round tail.

The 4th one with the Finch: Since grubs live underground a thinner beak would be able to dig them out and stab them faster. This allows them to reach farther and get more food.

Make a male heterozygous tall pea plant with a female short plant.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Hello. I believe you want to know the result of a cross between a tall pea plant and a low pea plant. Well, to visualize the cross between these two plants, it is necessary to know which characteristics have the dominant and recessive alleles, as you did not mention, let's assume that the high plant has the dominant characteristic that will be represented by the "TT" alleles, while the low pea plant will have the recessive characteristic, represented by the "tt" allele.

A dominant characteristic is one that has dominant alleles in its composition. These alleles are represented by capital letters and signify the genes that determine a characteristic. The characteristic of a dominant allele will always be seen in the offspring of a cross, as long as that allele appears in hom0zygosis (two dominant alleles as "TT") or hetorozygosis (a dominant allele and a recessive allele as "Tt"). The characteristic of the recessive allele, on the other hand, will only be seen in the offspring of a cross, if it is presented in hom0zygosis (two recessive alleles as "tt").

In the figure that is attached below, you can see how a high pea plant (TT) crosses with a low pea plant (tt). This crossing is done by combining each allele of the tall plant with each allele of the plant, which resulted in a completely heterozygous offspring, with the "Tt" alleles. As mentioned above, the recessive characteristic only appears if there are two recessive alleles. In this case, we can consider that the entire offspring were tall pea plants, since all plants have the dominant allele.

D. Extinction makes the environment more pleasant.

Answers

Answer:

B. Extinction upsets the natural cycling of nutrients

The extinction of species affect humans as extinction upsets the natural cycling of nutrients. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What do you mean by extinction of species?

Extinction is the end of a sort of life form or of a gathering of sorts, normally an animal categories. The snapshot of annihilation is for the most part viewed as the passing of the last person of the species, albeit the ability to raise and recuperate.

As species go terminated, they are removed from the established pecking order. The animals that ate the species that has gone extinct must find new food or die. Other animal or plant populations could suffer as a result.

Habitat loss and degradation (primarily deforestation), overexploitation (hunting and overfishing), invasive species, climate change, and nitrogen pollution are the main modern causes of extinction.

Name and give examples of 2 major types of mutations. What do they have in common? How are they different?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Two major types of mutations are deletions and substitutions.

Explanation:

The two major types of mutations are deletion and substitution, other than these there are many more mutations that are categorized under gene mutations and chromosomal mutation.

The deletion mutation takes place in the conditions where the DNA deletes or missed copying the nucleotide in a new  DNA molecule. This type of mutation can occur in one or more nucleotides. Whereas Substitution mutation occurs when there is a wrong nucleotide added to the DNA sequence or substitute with other.

Both could be deleterious and takes place at the nucleotide level. Both mutation depends on the number of nucleotide or the location of the mutation on the gene.
