Size, colour and fingerprints are examples of ______ A. physiological variation B. discontinuous variation C. morphological variation D. adaptive variation Detailed SolutionMorphological variation includes aspects of the outward appearance i.e shape, structure, color, pattern, size which is in contrast to physiology variation which deals primarily with function.Morphological variation arises from a number of factors which can be bluntly classified as either genetic or environmental implanted into the process of evolution. There is an explanation video available below. |

The level of organization in spirogyra and volvox is A. organ B. system C. cell D. Tissue Detailed SolutionThe spirogyra and volvox are cells. The spirogyra is a cell acting as a FILAMENT while in the Volvox, it's a cell as a COLONY.There is an explanation video available below. |

Water molecules stay on the tip of a pine needle because the water is attracted to the surface of the needle. D. Water molecules stick to one another and form a bead |

The modification in structure, physiology and behaviour of plant and animal is called ______ A. adaptation B. evolution C. variation D. succession Detailed SolutionAdaptation is process by which an animal or plant species becomes fitted to its environment; it is the result of natural selection’s acting upon heritable variation. Even the simpler organisms must be adapted in a great variety of ways: in their structure, physiology, and genetics, in their locomotion or dispersal, in their means of defense and attack, in their reproduction and development, and in other respects.Evolution explains how living things change over a long time, and how they have come to be the way they are Variation is any difference between cells, individual organisms, or groups of organisms of any species caused either by genetic differences (genotypic variation) or |
