A population of crabs live on a light-colored sandy beach. In this environment there is a population of birds that eat the crabs. One year, there is a volcanic eruption near the beach and dark volcanic ash covers the beach. The sand is now much darker than it used to be. Scientists studying the area are most likely to predict which outcome?
A.
Some of the light-colored crabs will try to change their body color to be darker and pass on those traits to their offspring.
B.
Some of the light-colored crabs will try to change their body color to be lighter and pass on those traits to their offspring.
C.
Some of the crabs born with the body color traits that do not allow them to escape the birds will likely survive and pass on those traits.
D.
Some of the crabs born with the body color traits that allow them to escape the birds will likely survive and pass on those traits.
Answers
Answer:
Your answer is D).
Explanation:
If the crabs are able to avoid being eaten by the birds, then they are most likely darkly colored to blend in with the dark ashen sand, and as Charles Darwin theorized: survival of the fittest.
P.S.- After the birds leave for the day, the crabs can finally get back to vibin' on the beach

Answer:
The correct order is -
a. 5 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 2 .
Explanation:
In sedimentary rocks, the bottom layer of the rock form initial and the fossils found in them would be older and the layer on top deposited the latest so the fossils found in the top layer would be the youngest.
Newer layers form or deposited on the layers of the oldest or bottom layer of the sedimentary rocks. Hence, the fossils present in the bottom layer would be the oldest fossil and newer fossils will be above them and the youngest would be top.
Thus, the correct answer is - a. 5 > 3 > 4 > 1 > 2 .

During which phases of the cell cycle are chromosomes composed of two chromatids?
Answers
Answer:
The correct phases are S phase, prophase, anaphase.
Explanation:
The cell cycle, the sequence of events spanning the period from the completion of one cell division to the end of the next division, involves both the division of the cell nucleus (karyokinesis) and the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis). S phase, the next section of the interface, is marked by a dramatic increase in DNA synthesis and the synthesis of histones which are major cellular proteins bound to DNA. The cell is preparing for the start of mitosis. Chromosomes duplicate lengthwise, and each chromosome consists of two identical "chromatids."During prophase, the degree of packing of the chromatin increases, so the chromosomes become shorter and thicker and the centromeres begin to become visible. Each of the chromosomes, due to its duplication in S phase, is made up of two identical chromatids, called sister chromatids. Anaphase is the short phase, the sister chromatids begin to separate and migrate to the poles. Once the two chromatids separate, each is called a chromosome.

Answers
The first stage of human decomposition is called autolysis, or self-digestion, and begins immediately after death. As soon as blood circulation and respiration stop, the body has no way of getting oxygen or removing wastes. Excess carbon dioxide causes an acidic environment, causing membranes in cells to rupture. The membranes release enzymes that begin eating the cells from the inside out.
Rigor mortis causes muscle stiffening. Small blisters filled with nutrient-rich fluid begin appearing on internal organs and the skin’s surface. The body will appear to have a sheen due to ruptured blisters, and the skin’s top layer will begin to loosen.
Stage Two: Bloat
Leaked enzymes from the first stage begin producing many gases. The sulfur-containing compounds that the bacteria release also cause skin discoloration. Due to the gases, the human body can double in size. In addition, insect activity can be present.
The microorganisms and bacteria produce extremely unpleasant odors called putrefaction. These odors often alert others that a person has died, and can linger long after a body has been removed.
Stage Three: Active Decay
Fluids released through orifices indicate the beginning of active decay. Organs, muscles, and skin become liquefied. When all of the body’s soft tissue decomposes, hair, bones, cartilage, and other byproducts of decay remain. The cadaver loses the most mass during this stage.
Stage Four: Skeletonization
Because the skeleton has a decomposition rate based on the loss of organic (collagen) and inorganic components, there is no set timeframe when skeletonization occurs.
