how are traits passed down from one generation to another

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Genes & DNA

Explanation:

Heritable traits are known to be passed from one generation to the next via DNA, a molecule that encodes genetic information.Organisms inherit genetic material from their parents in the form of homologous chromosomes, containing a unique combination of DNA sequences that code for genes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Traits are passed down from one generation to another because of DNA.

Explanation:

Genetic inheritance occurs due to genetic material, in the form of DNA, being passed from parents to their offspring. When organisms reproduce, all the information for growth, survival, and reproduction for the next generation is found in the DNA passed down from the parent generation.

When spiders die, does it affect their growth?

Answers

Answer:It is well known that age influences organism mobility. This was demonstrated in vertebrates (such as mammals and birds) but has been less studied in invertebrates with the exception of Drosophila and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Here we studied the influence of age on the mobility of the orb-weaving spider Zygiella x-notata during web construction. The orb-web is a good model because it has a characteristic geometrical structure and video tracking can be used to easily follow the spider’s movements during web building. We investigated the influence of age (specifically chronological age, life span, and time till death) on different parameters of spider mobility during the construction of the capture spiral (distance traveled, duration of construction, spider velocity, spider movement, and spider inactivity) with a generalized linear model (GLM) procedure adjusted for the spider mass. The results showed that neither chronological age, nor life span affected the mobility parameters. However, when the time till death decreased, there was a decrease in the distance traveled, the duration of the construction of the capture spiral, and the spider movement. The spider velocity and the time of inactivity were not affected. These results could be correlated with a decrease in the length of the silky thread deposited for the construction of the capture spiral. Spiders with a shorter time till death built smaller web using less silk. Thus, our study suggests strongly that time till death affects spider mobility during web construction but not the chronological age and thus may be a good indicator of senescence.

Why do you think certain cell types look the way they do? What do you think the relationship is between a cell’s structure and its function?
Please no links, thank you

Answers

I think that cell types look the way they do because they are all very unique. They don’t have much space to look a certain way but they are all unique in their own ways. The structure of a cell does have something to do with it’s function, it has to be small to do it’s work.

Which diagram correctly portrays the direction of the prevailing winds in each latitude band? (look at the pictures)
A.
E.
B.
C.
D.

Answers

Your answer should be E and C

Option C and E are  the diagram which correctly portrays the direction of the prevailing winds in each latitude band

what is latitude?

Latitude and longitude are two most important terms which are the coordinates that, together, tells exactly location of an object on the surface of the Earth.

Latitude tells the position of the object or anything  between the North Pole and the South Pole where equator is zero degrees, the North Pole is 90 degrees North, and the South Pole is 90 degrees .

Parallels called as latitude lines which run across the Earth from east to west at a constant latitude, for example would be the equator, which is at zero degrees of latitude

Latitude is major indicator of navigation because the path of the sun is different depending on the object's latitude, so it varies based on the time of year.

Why does the moon appear to change its shape as seen from earth?

Answers

D.
Different parts of the sun lit moon become visible as the moon revolves around earth

This happens because as the moon orbits earth the sun will project light towards it and the reason it seems to glow is because of the reflected light since the moon is white it reflects more light. Think of it as a day and night cycle except it’s on the moon when it becomes night on earth the part of earth facing towards the sun will be lit aka day/morning/afternoon etc
The part of the earth facing away will be dark aka night/midnight/etc.
D because as the moon revokes it goes around earth to every state and it takes 12 hours in our time for it to get to us.
