Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The question would be properly written with options attached for the sake of comprehension:

Select the statement(s) that accurately illustrate scenarios of weathering.

A. Water flows into cracks in a rock, freezes, and expands, pushing against the crack making it wider.

B. Wind gusts carry large amounts of sand across the landscape creating a sandstorm.

C. Plant roots expand cracks in rocks as the plant grows.

D. Sand particles in the blowing wind may act like sandpaper to rub against the rocks and wear off small particles.

E. Oxygen in the air reacts with iron ore in a rock creating streaks of rust

The correct options in the question above are:

Options A, C, D, and E.

Explanation:

First, Weathering is the actions that lead to the gradual but continuous breakdown of rocks and minerals into soils. There are two main kinds of weathering: mechanical  weathering and chemical weathering.

From the question above, options A, C, and D are all examples of mechanical weathering where rocks are broken down physically into smaller pieces.

Option B would have also been correct but didn't mention that the sandstorm brushed against the rock or collided with it.

While option E is an example of chemical weathering because of the chemical reaction between the oxygen in the air and the iron ore in rock. This results in the breakdown of minerals that are rich in iron forming new compounds creating rust.

Think of an object, person, or place at home that functions similar to the cell membrane.

Answers

i think its a plant or dog since both of them also have cells

Because it permits materials to enter and exit a cell, a cell membrane can be compared to a door. A door allows objects to pass through it as it opens and closes.

What is cell membrane made of?

With a few rare exceptions, p - series, which are made up of glycerol, a nitrogen base, and two fatty chain, are the primary component of cellular membranes, both cytoplasmic membrane and interior membranes. Therefore, the cell membrane serves two purposes: first, as a barriers keeping the components of the cell inside and undesired materials out, and second, as a gate permitting the passage of vital nutrients through into cell as well as the flow of byproducts out of the cell.

What role does the cell membrane perform?

Every cell has a phospholipid bilayer, also called a cell wall, that shields the inside of the body from the outside world. The cell barriers is a lipid bilayer that is porous. The cell regulates the flow of substances from and to the cell.

What is the importance of neutral variation in evolution?
A trait that is neutral in one environment may be advantageous in another.
It is usually removed from the population by natural selection due to its deleterious phenotypes in the environment.
A trait that is neutral will most likely be removed from the gene pool.
It will cause for a population to risk decline and extinction.

Answers

Answer:

A trait that is neutral in one environment may be advantageous in another.

Explanation:

Neutral variation refers to the variation (either genetic or phenotypic variation) which is unaffected by natural selection. Neutral variation is known to increase genetic variation, which is a prerequisite to evolutionary change. An allele may be neutral in one environment and beneficial (or deleterious) in another. In consequence, neutral variation in one environment may increase the response to selection in different environmental conditions.
