b. Ecological
c. Structural
d. Physiological

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, structural adaptation.  

All the species exhibit adaptations, which assist them to thrive and survive. Structural is one of the kinds of adaptations, these refer to the physical characteristics of an organism.  

Structural adaptation refers to the feature in an animal or plant's body, which assists it to thrive in its surroundings. The examples are possessing the tendency to retain water, and camouflage that is protective coloration.  
Answer 2
Answer: When one type of butterfly mimics a dead leaf to evade predators this would be referring to a "ecological adaptation" since it has to do mostly with the environment.

A cell is viewed under a microscope and is found to have two nuclear envelopes and spindles that appear to be breaking apart. Which phase of mitosis is the cell most likely in?a. Telophase
b. Anaphase
c. Metaphase
d. Prophase

Answers

c. Metaphase

The two identical daughter cells resulting from mitosis and cytokinesis are identical in the following ways:1. Mitosis occurs when the nucleus of the cell divides into two identical nuclei, each with the same type and number of chromosomes. The cell's DNA is duplicated during this phase. Sometimes the cell's DNA isn't copied properly resulting in cancer-type cells. 2. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides into two identical daughter cells. Each cell is genetically identical and both are a similar size.

A factory is emitting large amounts of CFCs into the atmosphere. How might this affect people?

Answers

CFCs stands for Chlorofluorocarbons. These compounds have long lifetimes. Because of its long lifetimes, it will not only affect our atmosphere but will also climbed to the higher spheres of earth, particularly our stratosphere.

The stratosphere is the location of our ozone layer. It protects us from the extreme rays of the sun. Prolonged presence of CFCs in the stratosphere destroys our ozone layer. Thus, weakening the protection from the sun's uv rays. This will affect us because we are subjected to higher risk of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays which may result to skin cancer and other sun related ailments.

Answer:

Skin Cancer and other diseases caused by our depleting ozone layer

Which of the following processes would convert inorganic phosphorus in a rock to an organic form of phosphorus?

Answers

Weathering is a process by which inorganic phosphorous in a rock is broken down into soluble form by coming into contact with the atmosphere, water and the biological organisms. This phosphorous is then taken up by plants and converted into its organic form.

It's actually plant uptake.

In a river, large boulders are transported by _____.A. Solution

D. Abrasion
Which answer choice is the correct one? Thank you.

Answers

The correct answer is B. Traction.

Traction is the force that generates movement of objects that have a desire to remain immovable.

Answer: B. Traction

Traction is a geological process in which a mechanical force transports larger and heavier rocks by sliding and rolling along the substratum. Traction occurs by water erosion. It results in the movement or transportation of large rocks stones or boulders, which are otherwise settled at the bottom, by the force exerted by the water current. These rocks, stones or boulders gets displaced from their sites and attains a rolling movement due to fast flowing water current.
