Natural selection is sometimes described as "survival of the fittest." Four friends were arguing about what the phrase "survival of the fittest" means. This is what they said: Diya: "I think ‘fit' means bigger and stronger." Ayush: "I think ‘fit' means more likely to reproduce." Daniel: "I think ‘fit' means being able to run faster." Hari: "I think ‘fit' means more intelligent."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ayush is correct.

Ayush: "I think ‘fit' means more likely to reproduce

Explanation:

Survival of the fittest simply means when organisms living in an environment develop traits or characteristics that help them to fully adapt to the environmental conditions and are able to survive, reproduce and pass on traits to their next generations. It's an indication that the organisms posses some characteristics that can help them to survive and reproduce in unfavorable environmental conditions.

Lilly and her lab partner, Alberto are investigating factors that influence the rate of photosynthesis. They know that any change to the reactants in photosynthesis could have an effect on the production of glucose and oxygen. In doing some research, the pair comes across the data shown above. They decide to brainstorm possible variables they could change in their experiment that could increase the rate of photosynthesis. Evaluate their list of possibilities. Based on the data and your knowledge of photosynthesis, what would you advise Lilly and Alberto to consider changing in their experiment if they wanted to increase the rate of photosynthesis? Choose ALL that apply.

Answers

Answer:

3.1.1 Division of the cytoplasm - Cytokinesis

3.1.2 Uncontrolled cell growth - Cancer

3.1.3 Chromatids lined up at equator of cell - Metaphase

3.1.4 Chromatids joined at this point - Centromere

3.1.5 Mass of cancerous cells - Tumor

3.1.6 Skin cancer - Carcinoma

3.1.7 Growth and mitosis - Meristematic

3.1.8 Cancer causing factors - Carcinogens

3.1.9 Cancer cells that do not spread - Benign

3.1.10 Replicated half of a chromosome - Chromatid

Explanation:

The division of the cytoplasm is known as Cytokinesis. It occurs during the later part of the division of the nucleus in both mitosis and meiosis. In Cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of a single parent cell divides in two to produce two daughter cells.

Cancer is a disease condition that results when the growth and division of cells is uncontrolled. It occurs as a result of changes to the DNA either due to environmental factors or heredity factors.

Metaphase is one of the four stages in mitosis. During mitosis, the chromatids which are joined at the centelomere line up at the middle or equator of the cell.

Centromere is a region in the chromosome in which sister chromatids are joined together to form a short and a long arm of the chromosome.

A tumour is a swelling of a part of the body due to the abnormal growth of cells in that part of the body. A tumour may have the ability to spread or not.

Cancers that originate in the skin or tissues lining organs is known as carcinomas.

In plants, meristematic tissues are responsible for growth as they consist of actively dividing or mitotic cells. Meristematic cells are present at the tips of roots,stem and branches.

Carcinogens are agents or factors that are able to cause cancers. They include such agents like chemicals, electromagnetic radiations, some viruses, lifestyle factors, etc.

Benign tumours refers to growths in tissues or organs of the body which are non-cancerous as they do not spread to other tissues or organs in the body.

A chromatid is one-half of a replicated chromosome present in the nucleus of the cell. Two chromatids are joined together at the centromere to form the chromosome.

The organism in the photo is a daphnia, or water flea. Daphnia are tiny aquatic organisms that live in most freshwater habitats. Adults range from less than 1 to 5 mm in length. They are good swimmers and eat mostly algae. Daphnia become mature at 5 to 10 days, and an adult female can produce up to 100 eggs every 3 or 4 days during its 2-month life span. When harmful algae rapidly increase in the daphnia environment, daphnia can develop adaptations to tolerate the negative effects of the algae within 10 years. What characteristic of the daphnia allows the population to adapt to environmental change

Answers

Answer:

The characteristic of daphnia which allows the population to adapt to the environmental change is the short generation time.

Explanation:

As evident from the text, the maturity comes in 5 to 10 days and they reproduce for the next 2 months at a rate of 100 eggs every 3/4 days. This is a short generation time which makes the evolutionary changes easy and less time-consuming to incorporate.
