What is an example of mutation in evolution? Even deleterious mutations can cause evolutionary change, especially in small populations, by removing individuals that might be carrying adaptive alleles at other genes. Figure 2: The history of the gray treefrog, Hyla versicolor, is an example of mutation and its potential effects. What is the most common […]
Which layer is closest to space?
Which layer is closest to space? Layers of Earth’s Atmosphere exosphere—contains few particles that move into and from space. exobase—the lower boundary of the exosphere. thermosphere—temperature increases with height. The International Space Station orbits Earth in this layer. mesopause—the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere; the coldest place on Earth. What layer are satellites? […]

How accurate are dial calipers?
How accurate are dial calipers? Quality dial, Vernier or digital calipers can all return an accuracy of about 0.001 inch over 6 inches if correctly used, although the accuracy is likely to diminish over longer spans. What are the 3 ways a dial caliper can be used to measure? There are 4 measurements you can […]
How do astronomers identify stars?
How do astronomers identify stars? Thus, astronomers can identify what kinds of stuff are in stars from the lines they find in the star’s spectrum. This type of study is called spectroscopy. The science of spectroscopy is quite sophisticated. Why do stars wobble? We all know that the chains of gravity shackle a planet to […]
How is wind speed indicated what is the unit used to define wind speed?
How is wind speed indicated what is the unit used to define wind speed? How is Wind Speed and Direction measured? Wind speed is typically reported in miles per hour, knots, or meters per second. One mile per hour is equal to 0.45 meters per second, and 0.87 knots. Wind direction is typically reported in […]

What is homeostasis in cells?
What is homeostasis in cells? In biology, homeostasis is the state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by living systems. This is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism and includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid balance, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range). What is homeostatic imbalance […]
