Answer:
C. Concentration of sugar in the water
Explanation:
The independent variable will be the variable that is changing, and the one that influences another variable.
So, in this experiment, the independent variable will be the concentration of sugar in the water.
This is because the groups of flies are given different amounts of sugar in their water, varying from 1, 2, and 3 mg/mL.
This will then impact the average length of the flies.
So, the correct answer is C. Concentration of sugar in the water

a. What is likely to happen to coral reefs if atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentrations continue to rise? What will be the consequences for the biosphere?
Answer:
Coral reefs are under threat if atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, new research has shown. When CO2 dissolves in the ocean, it raises the water's acidity level. This prevents a build up of calcium carbonate, which corals draw from seawater to build their skeleton
Explanation:
If atmospheric carbon dioxide continues to rise it creates a threat condition to coral reefs to their skeletons.
What are coral reefs?According to recent research, coral reefs are in danger if atmospheric carbon dioxide levels keep rising. The ocean's water becomes more acidic as a result of CO₂ dissolving there.
This hinders the buildup of calcium carbonate, which corals use to create their skeleton from saltwater. More CO₂ is absorbed by the seas when CO₂ emissions rise.
The water is getting warmer as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions. In water that is too much warmer or colder than 26–27 degrees celsius, coral cannot survive.
Therefore, as a result, coral has a tougher time developing its shells since the water becomes more acidic.

Which of the four factors that affect evolution apply to the finches that the Grants studied? Use
evidence from your research to support your answer. (15 points)
Answer:
Natural Selection in Real Time
"When we made the comparison between the size of the offspring generation and the population before selection, we found a measured, evolutionary response had taken place and it was almost identical to what we had predicted."
-Peter Grant
Darwin thought that evolution took place over hundreds or thousands of years and was impossible to witness in a human lifetime. Peter and Rosemary Grant have seen evolution happen over the course of just two years.
The Grants study the evolution of Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands. The birds have been named for Darwin, in part, because he later theorized that the 13 distinct species were all descendants of a common ancestor. Each species eats a different type of food and has unique characteristics developed through evolution. For example, the cactus finch has a long beak that reaches into blossoms, the ground finch has a short beak adapted for eating seeds buried under the soil, and the tree finch has a parrot-shaped beak suited for stripping bark to find insects.
The Grants have focused their research on the medium ground finch, Geospiza fortis, on the small island of Daphne Major. Daphne Major serves as an ideal site for research because the finches have few predators or competitors. (The only other finch on the island is the cactus finch.) The major factor influencing survival of the medium ground finch is the weather, and thus the availability of food. The medium ground finch has a stubby beak and eats mostly seeds. Medium ground finches are variable in size and shape, which makes them a good subject for a study of evolution.
The first event that the Grants saw affect the food supply was a drought that occurred in 1977. For 551 days the islands received no rain. Plants withered and finches grew hungry. The tiny seeds the medium ground finches were accustomed to eating grew scarce. Medium ground finches with larger beaks could take advantage of alternate food sources because they could crack open larger seeds. The smaller-beaked birds couldn't do this, so they died of starvation.
In 1978 the Grants returned to Daphne Major to document the effect of the drought on the next generation of medium ground finches. They measured the offspring and compared their beak size to that of the previous (pre-drought) generations. They found the offsprings' beaks to be 3 to 4% larger than their grandparents'. The Grants had documented natural selection in action.
While beak size is clearly related to feeding strategies, it is also related to reproduction. Female finches tend to mate with males that have the same size beaks. These factors together can add to the development of new species.
The Grants return each year to Daphne Major to observe and measure finches. They have been collecting data on the finches for over 25 years and have witnessed natural selection operating in different ways under different circumstances.
HELP!! I WILL MARK BRANLIEDT!! HERES A PIC ITS ABOUT NATURAL AND SELECTIVE BREEDING:)
Answer:
Natural Selection
- The process happens due to environmental activity
- It takes a relatively long period of time.
- Excessive warmer temperatures in a region have caused rabbits with longer fur to slowly disappear.
Selective Breeding
- Organisms do not choose to thrive but are selected because they are best adapted to the environment.
- A Labradoodle is created by scientists to be hypoallergenic but still look like a Labrador.
- It takes place over a relatively short period of time.
- Humans have a decision in the outcome of the offspring.
- Apples have gotten much larger over the last 30 years due to customer demand
Explanation:
From the above, I have been able to place them in their respective categories.
Natural selection simply has to do with nature. It is a process in nature that leads to the better adaptation of organisms to survive and reproduce in their environment. This type has to do with the natural environment. As nature plays out, it can take longer time and the environment can affect survival rate. Natural selection can lead to speciation.
Selective breeding can also be referred to as artificial selection. This process has to do with the input of man in developing new organisms that possess desirable characteristics and that can adapt to a specific environment. In other words, humans control and decide the outcome of the species that are reproduced. Such breeding process take relatively short time.

Alternative Title: primary plant succession
Primary succession, type of ecological succession (the evolution of a biological community’s ecological structure) in which plants and animals first colonize a barren, lifeless habitat. Species that arrive first in the newly created environment are called pioneer species, and through their interactions they build a simple initial biological community. This community becomes more complex as new species arrive. Primary succession is distinguished from secondary succession, which is the recovery of an existing biological community after a disturbance sets back the community’s ecological structure to an earlier stage.
Primary succession
Primary succession
Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rock exposed by a retreating glacier. The first inhabitants are lichens or plants—those that can survive in such an environment. Over hundreds of years these “pioneer species” convert the rock into soil that can support simple plants such as grasses. These grasses further modify the soil, which is then colonized by other types of plants. Each successive stage modifies the habitat by altering the amount of shade and the composition of the soil. The final stage of succession is a climax community, which is a very stable stage that can endure for hundreds of years.

QUICK FACTS

Ecological succession
Pioneer species
Lava-sterilized landscapes, newly formed sand dunes, and rocks either deposited or scoured by retreating glaciers are examples of settings in which primary succession often occurs, because these places either lack soil or their soil cannot sustain life. On newly created volcanic islands, for example, after the rock cools, seeds blown by the wind may lodge in crevices, germinate, and take root. Often these first colonizing plants are weedy species, such as fast-growing grasses and lichens, that do not grow tall but do reproduce quickly. After these plants germinate and grow, they die and decompose, and their remains create pockets of soil in which other plants, as well as fungi, can become established. Over time, such fast-growing vegetation covers more and more of the island, and seeds from other, hardier, taller-growing plants arrive on the wind or are transported by birds that begin to use the island as a stopover during migration.
Surtsey
Surtsey
Surtsey, a volcanic island off the southern coast of Iceland, emerged from the Atlantic Ocean in a fiery eruption in November 1963. Shortly thereafter plants such as sea rocket (Cakile arctica), sand ryegrass (Leymus arenarius), oysterleaf (Mertensia maritima), and seaside sandplant (Honckenya peploides) colonized the island. Much of Surtsey's vegetation is composed of lichens and mosses. However, some higher plants such as the dwarf willow (Salix herbacea) and tea-leaved willow (S. phylicifolia) have grown on the island since the 1990s.
ARCTIC IMAGES/Alamy
These new arrivals shade out sun-loving grasses, shrubs, and other pioneer species, and their cast-off parts decay and add to the soil, altering it by mixing with soil particles left by the decay of earlier plants. More plants and animals arrive (the latter rafting over on flotsam or flying from nearby islands or the mainland), and some become established on the island. The ecosystem changes with each new arrival. Over several decades, the biological community transitions from collections of pioneer and intermediate species to a climax community—that is, a relatively balanced ecological stage whose ecological structure and species composition are far less volatile than those of earlier stages.

What is the role of acid in our stomach ?
Answer:
Hydrochloric acid helps your body to break down, digest, and absorb nutrients such as protein. The hydrochloric acid found in the stomach facilitates digestion by disintegrating complex large food molecules into simpler molecules. The acid activates the pepsinogen enzyme required to digest proteins.
Female New Zealand mud snails are able to produce viable offspring that develop into mature adults from unfertilized eggs.
Answer:
It is called parthenogenesis
Explanation:
This is because parthenogenesis is a type of reproduction where the female produced egg develop into offspring without fertilization from the sperm of the male parent. It is a type of asexual reproduction in which unfertilized egg from the female develop into offsprings either both sexes or male only or female only.

Color-blindness results from both the expression of a single recessive sex-linked allele (b.)
Which of the following is a genotype of a colorblind male?
XbY
XBXB
XBY
XbXb
Answer:
XbY
Explanation:
because the question asks genotype of a male, the chromosomes would be XY, so XBX and XbXb can be eliminated leaving only XBY and XbY. XBY is incorrect because the question states that colorblindness is represented by lowercase b, so the correct answer is XbY.
