Story #1
Once upon a time, there lived a population of mountain people whose members all had wings but different
types-either bat wings or bird wings. 40% of the population had bat wings and 60% of the population had bird
wings. One day, a storm hit that lasted for several weeks. Those with bat wings were able to fly around and
find food because their wings were water resistant, while those with bird wings were not able to get food
because their feathers were not water resistant and got soaked through. Many of the bird-winged people starved
and did not survive, so their alleles decreased in the gene pool, lowering the frequency of the bird wings in
future generations. Over many generations, the environment had more and more long periods of rain and the
genetic makeup of the population shifted to 10% with bird wings and 90% with bat wings.
What is the trait being described?
What are the variations that exist in this population?
3. How did the event lead to the change in allele frequency?
Alleles?
4. What type of evolutionary mechanism did this story show?
5. Was there an adaptation in this story? If so, identify it.
6. Did the change make the population more or less similar to other populations?
7. Would this increase or decrease reproductive isolation?
Increase or decrease speciation?
8. Did the new population change for the better, worse, or have no effect? Why?
Answer:
The trait being described is the ability to fly in rainy season.
Explanation:
The trait being described is the ability to fly in rainy season. The people with bat wings and people with bird wings are present in the population. The event lead to the change in allele frequency because the population of people with bird wings die due to starvation. Yes, the bat wings were adapted to that environment so they are able to survive. The change make the population less similar to other populations because population of people with bat wings increases as compared to other population. Yes, the new population change for the better of the ecosystem because the population is able to controls the population of other species in the ecosystem.

Does the distance from earth to sun determine the seasons? please explain
Answer:
nope
Explanation:
Contrary to popular belief, the seasons are not determined by the earth's distance from the sun. The seasons are actually caused by the earth's tilted axis. Because the axis is tilted, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it's warm.

Multiple Choice
Which of the following is typical of aerobic respiration?
decreases a plant’s weight
contains two stages, glycolysis and fermentation
produces methane as a byproduct
produces little energy
Answer:
decreases a plant’s weight
Explanation:
Aerobic respiration is a process of respiration in which oxygen is required and the byproducts of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide, water and energy.
Plants undergo aerobic respiration and it is a catabolic process in which complex compounds in plants turns into simpler compounds. This process reduces the dry weight of the plants.
Glycolysis is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration so it is not a typical aerobic respiration.
Hence, the correct answer is "decreases a plant’s weight".

What are some of the WORST things about coal fuel?
help me please help me
Answer:
Explanation:
The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, increasing levels of CO2 and other gasses, trapping heat, and contributing to global climate change. Coal combustion releases the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) during combustion. The major disadvantage of coal is its negative impact on the environment. Coal-burning energy plants are a major source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to carbon monoxide and heavy metals like mercury, the use of coal releases sulfur dioxide, a harmful substance linked to acid rain.
Answer:
Air pollution
Can impact health of citizens like asthma, breathing difficulties, etc.
Can lead to death if not treated or fixed.
Releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Contributes to global climate change.

Humans often like to help wild animals. A marine biologist near the area where Anchor’s offspring are located has decided to feed them. He begins putting medicine in the food that keeps the pups from contracting infections common to sharks in the area. Because of this, nearly all of Anchor’s offspring survive to adulthood. Eventually, the marine biologist gets a job transfer and leaves the area. Predict what we may see in the following generation (Anchor’s grandpops). Will they still be fitter than other sharks?
Answer:
I would predict that the the following generation will have a large amount of pups that are eaten by the sharks.
This question seems like its asking about natural selection.
"Natural selection is the process when organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring"
Explanation:
If the marine biologist did not give the pups medicine in the first generation, the pups that were less fit or not adaptive to the enviroment to naturally survive the infections would have died. This would have prevented these pups from passing on their genes.
The next generation would consists of pups that are more immune to the sickness or more fit for their enviroment and might experiece less pups to die.
Many freshwater plants have adapted to low carbon and light levels by adapting what feature?
Group of answer choices
Carnivorous plants
No need for carbon dioxide
Camouflage
Floating leaves
Answer:
The most common adaptation is the presence of lightweight internal packing cells, aerenchyma, but floating leaves and finely dissected leaves are also common. Aquatic plants can only grow in water or in soil that is frequently saturated with water. They are therefore a common component of wetlands.

Explain the difference between homology and analogy using a wolf, a whale, and a shark:
Answer:
Explanation:
Analogy refers to traits or structures like body shapes, fins which evolved independently that are similar in organisms that are not related by the same common ancestor. For example dolphins and shark have similar body structures like fins but they are unrelated. Whale and shark too. Whales are mammals, sharks are fish.
Homology refers to traits or structures
posses by organisms that are related by common ancestors. Example wolf and whales.....they are both mammals.
DNA is found in every cell of an organisms body.

What type of evolutionary mechanism did this story show?
Allele frequencies in a population may change due to four fundamental forces of evolution: Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, Mutations and Gene Flow. Mutations are the ultimate source of new alleles in a gene pool. Two of the most relevant mechanisms of evolutionary change are: Natural Selection and Genetic Drift.
This story showed an example of convergent evolution. Convergent evolution is the process whereby organisms that are not closely related independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.
What is in the story ?In this story, the two species of birds, the crows and the jays, evolved to look similar as a result of living in the same environment and competing for the same resources.
The two species evolved to look similar in order to blend in with their environment, making it difficult for predators to distinguish them from one another. This allowed them to survive and thrive in the same environment.
Therefore, This example of convergent evolution is a perfect example of how species can evolve to look similar in order to survive in the same environment. It also shows how competition for resources can drive species to evolve similar traits in order to survive.
