Answer:

The changes are the organism's adaptive traits and they arise as a result of natural selection. An example of adaptive evolution is the horse's teeth. Its teeth are one of the traits that made it fit for a grass diet. In contrast, genetic drift produces random changes in the frequency of traits in a population

Answer:

I will give you 5 of them :)

1.Flightless Birds

Birds such as ostriches, emus and penguins are unable to fly. However, this hasn't always been the case — each of these flightless birds has ancestors who easily flew. Over many generations, ostriches and emus evolved to have larger bodies and feet made for running on land, which left them without the ability (or need) to fly. The same goes for penguins, who traded typical wings for swim-friendly flippers over many thousands of generations.

2.Blue Moon Butterfly

The Blue Moon Butterfly on the Samoan islands was attacked by a parasite, which destroyed male embryos. This changed the balance of male and female but that was remedied within 10 generations. This is because the few male moths that were immune lived to breed.

3.Mexican Cavefish

Mexican cavefish once had eyes, but in the caves, eyes were no longer necessary. They have also lost their pigmentation because they no longer need camouflage from predators. This is an example of regressive evolution, the belief that "if you don't use it, you lose it" when it comes to traits.

4.Warrior Ants

These ants have a chemical signal that identifies their colony. Some ants learned to imitate this signal from another colony, so they can attack a colony and take over. The worker ants will not even realize there has been an invasion and continue to work.

5.Pesticide Resistant Insects

Whenever you use a pesticide, it kills the majority of an insect population. However, certain insects will experience a gene mutation to develop immunity to it and those insects will reproduce. This happens very quickly, within a few generations, since the generation length for insects is short.

Question
(Uhm help?) The law of conservation of energy states that when there is an energy transfer or transformation, energy is lost.
Solution 1

Assuming this is a true/false question, the answer would be false.

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed; it simply changes forms.

Unless you are saying that some energy would be lost as heat, This is true.

Solution 2

Answer:

ae you trying to find the meaning?

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside. The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

ex: the cue ball is shot at a stationary 8 ball. The cue ball has energy. When the cue ball hits the 8 ball, the energy transfers from the cue ball to the 8 ball, sending the 8 ball into motion. The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down.

Question
Are gender traits completely a result of societal expectations?
Solution 1

Answer:

No. Gender traits in humans are largely determined by biophysical processes. There seems to be a vocal political faction that is trying to convince people in the name of liberty and equality that gender traits are completely learned, and therefore arbitrary. But this claim disagrees with scientific evidence. In general, boys play more with cars and girls play more with dolls not because their parents are perpetuating outdated gender stereotypes, but because their brain is telling them to. This fact does not mean that boys have to play with boy toys, or that boys who play with dolls aren't really boys. It is just a scientific observation about average behavior and its link to fetal development.

Question
What are the processes that turn a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock?
Solution 1
Sedimentary rock may be broken down into a sediment once again by weathering and erosion. It may also form another type of rock. If it becomes buried deep enough within the crust to be subjected to increased temperature and pressure, it may change into a metamorphic rock
Question
Explain the production of urine, include the processes of Ultra filtration and selective reabsorption.
Solution 1

Answer:

Urine Is 95% Water

Explanation:
