In 1973, biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote an essay titled "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of
Evolution." Why is evolution so important for understanding biology? Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences. (2 points)

Answers

Answer 1

Evolution is the key to understanding the history of life on our planet, since it is through it that we understand the changes in life forms over time.

What is the purpose of the theory of evolution?

The Theory of Evolution states that it is the environment, through natural selection, that determines the importance of the individual's characteristic or its variations, and the organisms best adapted to this environment have a greater chance of survival, leaving a greater number of descendants.

With this information, we can conclude that Evolution is the key to understanding the history of life on our planet, since it is through it that we understand the changes in life forms over time.

Why are cetacean are smarter than primates?

Answers

Answer:

well no duh we humans we smart and we invented half the stuff in the world

Explanation:

Answer:

Evolution and different environments.

Explanation:

Primates are intelligent in their own ways, such as motor control, the use of hands and feet simultaneously, control of both hands for different things at the same time.

Dolphins for example, however, they lack the limbs that primates do, so they don't need motor control as much as primates. They evolved to be very social animals, and that allows them to excel in groups while maintaining a pattern seeking brain much like primates, without the motor control capabilities.

why animals need to move quickly​

Answers

Answer:

Animals move for a variety of reasons, such as to find food, a mate, a suitable microhabitat, or to escape predators. For many animals, the ability to move is essential for survival and, as a result, natural selection has shaped the locomotion methods and mechanisms used by moving organisms.

Which description accurately describes the cell membrane?

c. a single permeable layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

d. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophobic heads and hydrophilic tails

e. a barrier of polypeptides that prevents molecules from entering or leaving the cell

Answers

Answer:

b. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

Explanation:

B is correct as the cell membrane is selectively semi-permeable. It is selectively semi-permeable because this quality allows it to control what can and can't enter the cell, and how it does so.

The cell membrane also has a phospholipid bi-layer comprised of a double layer of phospholipids which have hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. This is because the heads are made of phosphate and are polar and are therefore attracted to water (hydrophilic), while the tails are made of lipids (i.e. fats, oils) which do not mix with water and are therefore hydrophobic.

The properties of each phospholipid is also why they form the double layer structure, the hydrophilic heads naturally face outwards into the water and protect the hydrophobic tails on the inside.

12. Where is the rate of primary production the lowest?

a. upwelling along coasts

b. in the middle of the current gyres

c. along the Equator

d. around Antarctica in the summer

e. coasts

Answers

Answer:

Option B, in the middle of the current gyres

Explanation:

The zones of upwelling have high productivity as they have adequate climate and weather condition along with availability of nutrients. The same is applicable for Equator and coastal regions. The productivity of Antarctica is low but not less than that of  current gyres as in the middle of the current gyres there are high current streams that reduces the biological productivity.

Among Delta-back stripped fish, there are two genes that segregate independently of one another. Suppose the alleles at the first locus are A (dominant) and a (recessive) and the alleles at the second locus are B (dominant) and b recessive). If an AABB fish mates with an aabb fish, and their offspring are inter-crossed, the proportion of F2 fish that show a recessive phenotype at the first locus and a dominant phenotype at the second is:

Answers

Answer:

4/16

Explanation:

It is given that the alleles of the first locus = A dominant and recessive a

The allele of the second locus = B dominant and the recessive b.

Now if fish with AABB mates with the aabb fishes, then to tell the proportion of the F2 fish which shows either the dominant phenotype at the [tex]$\text{first locus}$[/tex] and also a recessive phenotype at the [tex]$\text{second locus}$[/tex].

So for this, the recessive phenotype at the [tex]$\text{first locus}$[/tex] as well as the recessive phenotype at the [tex]$\text{second locus}$[/tex] is in the ratio of 4/16.

Answers

Answer:

There will be more yellow-colored frogs in the population than red-colored frogs

Explanation:

Available data:

Strawberry poison dart frogs have different skin colorsThe frogs can be categorized broadly using the colors green, blue, yellow, and red.Frogs eaten by snakes

Number of snake attacks             Frog color

145 Approx                                          Green

180 Approx                                          Blue

125 Approx                                          Yellow

145 Approx                                          Red

 

The phenotype of individuals and the environment where they live, interact and determines the genes´ destiny in space and time. The result of this interaction and the gene destiny is Natural Selection. Natural selection selects beneficial alleles and increases their frequency in the population.

The attack by snakes is acting as a selective pressure on the frogs´ population. It is an ecological pressure that is modeling the frogs´ phenotype.

Animals that suffer more attacks are the blue ones, followed by green and red frogs. Those that suffer the fewest number of attacks are the yellow individuals.

So natural selection will be acting on this population favoring the alleles that code for yellow color. Genes that express yellow color increase more the frogs´ fitness than genes that code for the other colors. So natural selection increases the frequency of genes coding for yellow color and will decrease the frequency of the other alleles. Probably the less favored will be genes that express blue.

Describe why certain traits increase in frequency in a population. Provide ONE example to support your response.

Answers

Answer:

When a phenotype produced by certain alleles helps organisms survive and reproduce better than their peers, natural selection can increase the frequency of the helpful alleles from one generation to the next – that is, it can cause microevolution.

Explanation:

Because of having dominant traits certain traits increase in frequency in a population because they have.

What are traits?

A phenotypic trait is a specific variant of an organism's observable characteristics. Phenotype refers to any measurable, observable and obvious characteristics of an organism. It can be either hereditary or environmental, but usually occurs as a collection of both.

When any allele tends to determine the phenotype, when passed from parent to child, it called as dominant allele. In case of  homzygosity as well as heterozygosity, dominant allele can express itself.

Recessive in contrast is, when genotype is homozygous, the trait expressed is referred to as recessive trait. Therefore, certain traits increase in frequency in a population.
