If only one species is considered the 'fittest', why do we still have so many variation among species?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Variation occurs in species with the genes resulting in the traits and physical characteristics that make it possible for them to be among the fittest for a number of reasons:

1. Mutation

2. Recombination and

3. Migration

Explanation:

Mutations:  A mutation is a deviation from the norm in a DNA sequence. It can be stimulated by errors during the DNA replication process which happens as the cell is dividing, or by exposure to ionizing radiation, chemicals, or viral infection (whether artificial or natural).

It is noteworthy that naturally, without any human intervention, the possibility of a spontaneous mutation is very low.

Recombination: This refers to the creation of new fusion of genes in the offspring that did not occur in the parents by the processes of crossing-over and independent assortment. Independent assortment meaning that the allele the gamete received for one gene was not influenced by the allele received for another gene.

Migration: Variation by migration here refers to the introduction of new genes from into one population by another. This could happen when a new population arrives at an existing one or when an existing one migrates to another population.

We can say for example that, genes from Americans have “migrated” into the population of African origin in America given the continuous immigration of Africans into America.

So in both populations, there are very fit species, but when their genes are mixed during cross-reproduction, variation arises.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Adult body symmetry

The embryological formation of body cavities

Gene sequences

The number of tissue layers

Explanation:

Scientists and taxonomists use different criteria to assign different animals to particular phyla. The various systematic criteria that are used more frequently by systematists are as follows:

1. Adult body symmetry

Body symmetry is one of the criteria used to assign an organism or animal to a particular phylum. There is two symmetry found in animals radial and bilateral.  If any plane passes through the middle axis and divides into two identical segments called radial symmetry and Bilateral symmetry is where only a single plane divides the body into halves. However, there are many animals that do not have any symmetry and called assymetrical.

2. The embryological formation of body cavities

Other than layers body cavities also helps in assigning the animals that depend on coelom -  body cavity between the body wall and gut wall

Animals could be - coelomate(coelom present), pseudocoelomate -(not lined with mesoderm) and acoelomate(coelom absent).

Gene sequences

Genetic similarities also consider and how close an organism to their organism of the phylum or species.

 The number of tissue layers

Different body parts, tissues, muscles, and organs developed from the different cell layers that are formed during embryo, therefore, called embryonic layers.

Animals on the basis of these embryonic layers could be diploblastic or triploblastic. Diploblastic animals form 2 embryonic layers the outer and inner layers called the ectoderm and the endoderm respectively. Triploblastic animals have an extra middle layer known mesoderm.

1 . What happens in the population if the mutation phenotype is helpful

2. Why does that happen for that population that has a helpful phenotype?

3. How does this mutation continue to exist in a population?

Answers

Answer:

1. The population will increase as they're better adapted to their environment and have a higher survival rate due to this helpful phenotype.

2. This happens to the population because this helpful phenotype might lead to less exposure to predation in which leads to a better survival fitness for the organism.

3. This mutation continues to exist as the organisms continue to successfully reproduce into the population due to being able to survive for longer.

Which greenhouse gas did Charles Keeling measure at the observatory?
A)
carbon monoxide
B)
methane
C)
nitrous oxide
D)
carbon dioxide

Answers

Answer:

D) carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas which is known to absorb heat that would otherwise be lost to space. It has been shown that CO2 causes approximately 80% of global warming. Different human activities, but especially the burning of fossil fuels, are the main cause of global warming. It has been estimated that 40 billion metric tons of CO2 produced by human activities are being discharged into the atmosphere annually. Other human activities associated with global warming by increasing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere include deforestation and cement production.

What is ecosystem?

Ecosytem is defined as a community that is biological by nature and the organism in that community attract with each other as well as their physical environment. Ecosystem is consist of both biotic as well as abiotic factor. The living components of ecosystem comes in category of biotic factor and non living components of ecosystem comes in category of abiotic factor.

Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life living in a particular area like the varity of animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms like bacteria and virus that plays a major role in framing of natural world usually three levels of biodiversity are observed and these are genetic species, and ecosystem diversity.

Biodiversity is very important for the process that's support all life present on earth including human.
