The sedimentary rock layers are being weathered and eroded at different rates because the rock layers:

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place. The particles that form a sedimentary rock are called sediment, and may be composed of geological detritus (minerals) or biological detritus (organic matter). The geological detritus originated from weathering and erosion of existing rocks, or from the solidification of molten lava blobs erupted by volcanoes. The geological detritus is transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice or mass movement, which are called agents of denudation. Biological detritus was formed by bodies and parts (mainly shells) of dead aquatic organisms, as well as their fecal mass, suspended in water and slowly piling up on the floor of water bodies (marine snow). Sedimentation may also occur as dissolved minerals precipitate from water solution.

Answers

Answer:

B, Diploid

Explanation is here:

Somatic cells are sometimes referred to as “body” cells. Homologous chromosomes are matched pairs containing the same genes in identical locations along their length. Diploid organisms inherit one copy of each homologous chromosome from each parent; all together, they are considered a full set of chromosomes.

Diploid, that is the correct answer

This will be a positive mutation because the mouse will now have an advantage.

Positive mutation. This allows the mice to be able to hide from its prey better than mice that don’t have this mutation. Because of this, the mice with the mutation have a higher chance of a long life and are able to reproduce and spread the mutation to future generations.

Which of the following disorders does not result from non disjunction in meiosis
Down syndrome
Turners syndrom
Klinerfelters
Sickle cell disease

Answers

Answer:

Sickle cell disease

Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia disorder does not result from non disjunction in meiosis. So, the correct option is D.

What is Sickle cell anemia?

Sickle cell anemias are defined as a group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become malformed and break down.

With sickle cell disease, an inherited group of disorders, red blood cells are twisted into a sickle shape in which the cells die early, leading to a shortage of healthy red blood cells i.e. sickle cell anemia and blockage of blood flow which can cause pain i.e. sickle cell anemia cell crisis.

Infections, pain and fatigue are symptoms of sickle cell disease. This disease is not the result from non disjunction in meiosis like other diseases such as Down syndrome, Tuners syndrome, etc.

Thus, Sickle cell anemia disorder does not result from non disjunction in meiosis. So, the correct option is D.

Rough-skinned newts produce a strong toxin called TTX as a defense mechanism against predators. Garter snakes can
tolerate a very limited amount of the toxin. However, several populations of garter snakes have recently shown an
increased tolerance for TTX. The different populations of snakes have independently acquired a gene variation that
allows them to better block the effects of the toxin.

Answers

Answer:

A. two shark populations utilize the same fish population as their main food source

I'm guessing this is from Marine Biology. I know this is an example of competition because two different groups of sharks are eating food from the same source. If one group gets to it first every time, they could leave the other group with no food. So it is a competition.

Assignment: Adaptations to New Environments Exploration

Directions: Read the descriptions of the four islands presented in the lesson.
1. List two new traits that each new species of rat might demonstrate as it adapts to the conditions on each island.
2. Introduce one of the four new rat species to another island and describe one challenge it would encounter and one success as it adapts to its new environment.




List the traits of each new species of rat

The rat on Island A:

1.

2.

The rat on Island B:

2.

The rat on Island C:

The rat on Island D:

Describe a challenge that would be encountered and a success of one of the new rats to another new environment (example: the rat living on Island B now moves to Island D).


Island A
The island is fairly flat with an occasional hill. The ground is made of soft dirt, and several species of shrubs grow toward the center of the island. There is no animal life on land, but the water around the island is teeming with fish. The island is surrounded by a coral reef, and the shore is sandy with no algae growing on it. Freshwater is available.
Island B
This island has a rocky shoreline. Numerous tide pools dot the island along the shore where the wave action is somewhat sheltered by rocky outcrops. The tide pools host barnacles, abalone, sea urchins, and crabs. Algae grow all around the island; however, the growth of algae is quite sparse in the tide pools where the various animals feed. The current is quite strong along the rocky outcrops where the algae grow best. Freshwater is available.
Island C
The island is somewhat barren. A few species of cactus thrive on the bare rocks, and a large, cactus eating tortoise inhabits the island. A species of very large birds nests on the island annually. The birds build their nests on the rocks and protect their eggs from the sun by standing over the nests with outspread wings. The nests are always found on the windy side of the island, which is somewhat cooled by offshore breezes.

Island D
This island is an extinct volcano. Vegetation on the island changes as the altitude increases. Grasses grow at the base of the volcano, but farther up the volcano’s slope, the grasses give way to low shrubs. Halfway up, the island becomes quite lush; tropical plants and trees dominate the landscape. At this altitude, the island experiences frequent rain showers. Two species of birds inhabit the island. One is a raptor that preys on the smaller birds. The other fishes the waters approximately one mile offshore. Both of the bird species nest in trees.
