Fertilization - answer-joining of a sperm and an egg to form a diploid zygote Organisms that use external fertilization - answer-most animals who participate in this live in aquatic environments like tadpoles -tend to produce large number of gametes How are gametes released for external fertilization - answer--gametogenesis occurs in response to environmental cues( lengthening days and warmer water temperatures) that indicate a favorable season for breeding -gametes are released in respo...

Which statement does NOT reflect a premise upon which the evolutionary concepts of Darwin rest? Correct Answer-The individuals that produce the most offspring are inherently superior to those producing your offspring, regardless of environment In the evolutionary sense, adaptation takes place at the level of _____ Correct Answer-Populations Which of the following pieces of evidence most strongly supports the common origin of all life? Correct Answer-All organisms have the same genetic code...

What functions do organisms need to perform to survive? Correct Answer-Regulate water and ions, nutrition, internal transport of materials, sensory signals, movement, reproduction, and defense Define adaptation and describe what types of features might be adaptations. Correct Answer-adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or to changes in their current environment ex; webbed feet for swimming, different bird beak sizes for different sized food, wh...
