The five evidences that support the theory of evolution are: Fossils, Anatomy, Embryology, Molecular Biology (or Biochemistry), and Biogeography.
Fossils show the physical change in a species over time, suggesting evidence for evolution. For an example, we can trace the origins of dolphins and whales all the way to a four-legged, dog-like hoofed mammal from about 50 mya. These mammals were fish eaters and so decided to spend a lot of time in the water. In fact, they spent so much time in the water, that in a few million years, they evolved a longer body and webbed feet. Then another few million years passed and they swapped their webbed feet for flippers and swapped their tail of a fin. Eventually, we get a fish-like mammal that once walked on land.
For anatomy, or structures, there's three types of structure comparisons: Homologous structures, Vestigial structures, and Analogous structures (or Convergent Evolution). Homologous structures show similarities between the structures between species, but serve different purposes. For an example, all mammals share common features within their arms, such as having 5 fingers. However, they serve different purposes, from whale fins for swimming, to bat wings for flying, to human hands for grabbing and for using tools.
Vestigial structures were structures that once served a purpose and have been reduced in size/power to the point where it's useless. For an example, large theropods such as the T. Rex spent so much time evolving more jaw muscles and biting power, that they sacrificed their arm muscles for such power. This explains why their arms were so short.
Another example would be ratites, flightless birds such as ostriches, emus, and cassowaries (penguins and kakapos are from a different group). They spent so much time evolving powerful legs as well as evolving in size, that there was no need to fly when they could just run with their improved legs. And also the fact that they're too heavy to even fly anyways.
Analogous structures is the similar functions of structures between species, but have separately evolved these functions. For an example, the wings from insects, birds, bats, and pterosaurs are very similar in shape and can be used to fly, but they've evolved separately. For an example, birds use feathers to fly while bats and pterosaurs use/used (pterosaurs are extinct) membrane between their bones to fly. Although they do have strikingly similar evolutionary histories, with their ancestors starting off as tree dwellers, they've evolved their flight abilities separately during different earth periods.
Embryology is evidence for evolution by using embryos from different species to suggest a common ancestor. For an example, we can prove that we're more related to whales than to fish by using embryos. The fish embryo will evolve gills while the embryos of humans and whales will not, since we do not breath by extracting oxygen from water.
Molecular biology is a more recent way of providing evidence for evolution. By taking the DNA from cells from different species, we can get an estimate of how related one species is to another. The more similar amino acid sequences are between species, the more recent their common ancestor is. For an example, by comparing amino acid sequences between humans and chimpanzees, we get an estimated amount that we once shared a common ancestor seven million years ago. Without molecular biology, we would still be digging for fossils to find that number.
Biogeography is the geographic distribution of species on earth that can be explained by evolution. For an example, we can tell that Australia separated first from Pangea rather than Asia or North America since Australia doesn't have bears while the Asia and North America do, with China having pandas and North America having brown and black bears. And also with the fact that Australia is the only continent with monotremes (egg-laying mammals like the platypus).
Similar to biogeography, there's also direct observation, which is evolution that has happened in our own eyes. An example would be the underground London mosquito. Mosquitoes usually target birds like pigeons. But after an underground tunnel was built in London, some mosquitoes managed to get inside and instead of birds, they targeted, mice, rats, and of course, humans. After only a few hundred years, a mosquito from the underground tried to mate with another mosquito from land and they could not, simply because they were different species. This shows that their new choice of feeding on mammalian blood has actually altered their DNA and created a new species, during the existence of humanity!

Explanation:
Elodea is a plant that lives in water. Like all plants, elodea can make its own food through
process called photosynthesis. Oxygen gas is also produced during photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis can only happen in the presence of light. To measure the rate of
photosynthesis, a piece of elodea can be placed in an inverted test tube filled with a
sodium bicarbonate solution. Oxygen gas produced by photosynthesis will collect at the
top of the test tube.
A student has designed an experiment using elodea plants. The experimental setup is
shown in Figure 1-4
Which of the setups would serve as the control of the experiment?
Bucket
Lamp
Flashlight High
Natural
Elodea
Sodium
bicarbonate
solution
The controlled variable is kept constant during the whole experiment in all the different study groups. In this experiment, Sodium bicarbonate solution is the controlled variable.
------------------------
During an experiment, the controlled variables are kept constant in the control groups and the experimental groups. Unlike the independent variable, the controlled variables do not influence the results. These variables do not affect the response of the dependent variable.
In this experiment,
The independent variable → presence/absence of light reaching the plant. The researcher regulates the amount of light by using different elements such as the bucket, lamp, flashlight, and natural light. The dependent variable → oxygen production through which the researcher measures the photosynthesis rate. The controlled variable → Sodium bicarbonate solution. It provides carbon dioxyde, and must be constant in the four scenarios to avoid an effect on the results.-----------------------

For the numbered steps below, select the option that places them in the correct order. 1) The ribosome binds to the mRNA and uses tRNAs to translate mRNA into the corresponding amino acid polypeptide sequence. 2) The spliceosome removes introns. 3) The primary structure of the polypeptide chain undergoes hierarchical foldings to form the tertiary structure. 4) RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene and initiates transcription.
Answer:
first 4, then 2, then 1, and lastly 3
Explanation:
First, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene on the DNA and initiates transcription. Transcription is the process by which we get mRNA (coding RNA) which is used as a template for protein synthesis. Then, in transcription, the resulting mRNA undergoes modification and maturation. This involves removal of introns, addition of 3'-poly-A tail and 5'-cap. Introns are sequences that do not code for protein and are hence removed. The structure that removes introns is the spliceosome. Thirdly, mature mRNA travels to the cytoplasm. Ribosome (composed of rRNA) binds to mRNA and tRNA to start the process of protein synthesis. The process of formation of protein is called translation. Lastly, the primary structure of protein may undergo folding to form a tertiary structure.

Explanation:
The founder effect occurs when Multiple Choice large groups of individuals leave their home population and establish new settlements, mating only among themselves. small groups of individuals leave their home population and establish new settlements, mating only among themselves. many members of a population die, resulting in a great loss of genetic diversity. many members of a population reproduce causing too much genetic diversity within the population. small groups of individuals leave their home population and join established settlements, and mating with natives.
Answer: small groups of individuals leave their home population and establish new settlements, mating only among themselves.
Explanation:
The founder effect is what happens when a small group of individuals leave their home population in order to establish new settlements. They will then mate only amongst themselves and colonize the area without mixing with the natives.
As a result of the founder effect, there is less genetic variation in the new population than in the home one because the smaller number of individuals who left would not possibly be able to carry all the genes in the home population. The only genes that would be passed on are those of the small individuals.
The teacher was unaware of the difference between suspension feeding and predation. The teacher thought that providing live copepods (2 mm long) and feeder fish (2 cm long) would satisfy the dietary needs of all of the organisms. Consequently, which two organisms would have been among the first to starve to death (assuming they lack photosynthetic endosymbionts)
Answer:
The correct answer is - Biwalves and sponges.
Explanation:
Suspension feeders are the organisms that depend on, for the dietary needs or nutriton, materials suspended in the water. The materials that are suspended are living organisms such as phytoplankton and zooplankton.
Biwalves and sponges are suspended or filter feeders and not predators like other organisms so providing copepods will not complete their food requirement and they will starve to death.
The correct answer is - Biwalves and sponges.
The celiac ganglion ________. Group of answer choices is located near the base of the superior mesenteric artery arises from the greater splanchnic nerve projects postganglionic fibers that innervate the small intestine and the kidney and urinary bladder arises from the lesser splanchnic nerve arises from the lumbar splanchnic nerve
Answer:
The correct answer is ''arises from the greater splanchnic nerve''
Explanation:
The greater splanchnic nerve or great adrenal nerve, originates in the thoracic sympathetic chain from vertebral levels T5 to T9 (T10). It runs over the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae and as it descends it becomes more anterior. It enters the abdomen crossing the diaphragmatic pillar and ends at the celiac plexus. The upper part of each celiac ganglion continues with the greater splanchnic nerve. The collateral or prevertebral ganglia innervate the abdominal and pelvic organs and viscera. The celiac ganglion receives preganglionic fibers from T5 to T12 and innervates the stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, spleen, and kidneys.

Which of the following statements about active transport is true?
Molecules move down the concentration gradient.
ATP is not required to move molecules through the membrane.
ATP is formed as molecules pass through protein channels.
It results in a higher concentration of molecules on one side of the membrane.
Answer:
It results in a higher concentration of molecules on one side of the membrane.
Explanation:
Active transport is the transport of molecules up the concentration gradient. This means that molecules are going from low density to high density. This is the opposite of natural diffusion. So, it requires ATP to move the molecules this way. Diffusion normally occurs to maintain homeostasis and an equal amount of concentration on both sides of a membrane. But, with active transport, since molecules are moving up the gradient, the opposite happens and the concentrations are unequal.

Frequently, a group of related species will each have a unique courtship ritual that must be performed correctly for both partners to be willing to mate. Such a ritual constitutes a ________ ________ reproductive barrier.
Group of answer choices
A) behavioral . . . prezygotic
B) mechanical . . . postzygotic
C) temporal . . . prezygotic
D) gametic . . . postzygotic
Answer:
A) behavioral . . . prezygotic
Explanation:
The biological concept of species states that individuals of a species can not mate and reproduce with individuals of another species. But if they get to reproduce, the progeny will not be viable or fertile. There will not be any reproductive success.
There are different reproductive isolation mechanisms, which are barriers that inhibit or interrupt the genetic flow between different species.
Reproductive barriers are isolation mechanisms that prevent mating between two or more species. The prezygotic mechanism avoids fertilization between individuals of different species, while the postzygotic mechanism impedes the zygote to develop and reach the adult stage.
There are different types of reproductive barriers.
Pre-copulatory o pre-ziygotic:
Ecological or by habitat isolation; Seasonal or temporal; Sexual o ethologic; Mechanic; Gametes incompatibility.Postzygotic mechanisms or barriers include
Hybrid inviability, Hybrid sterility, Hybrid reduced viability or fertility, Cytoplasmic interactions.Behavioral isolation is also known as ethological isolation or sexual isolation. This is a prezygotic barrier that refers to the fact that even when many species occupy the same area, they are not sexually attracted to each other, and might be rejected because of behavioral factors, not getting to mate. This mechanism includes courtship patterns or mating rituals and specific chemical signals that allow recognition between individuals of the same species.
