Aspecies of fish known as astyanax mexicanus lives in deep underground caves off the coast of mexico. it is virtually blind. the same fish lives near the surface and has fully functioning eyes. over time, what will most likely happen to the sighted and blind types of astyanax mexicanus? one type will become extinct. they will become separate species. they will interbreed and exhibit only the dominant trait. one type will mutate to become more like the other.

(drag each tile to the correct location.) categorize each term as something that is typical of a scientific theory, a scientific hypothesis, or both. - a tentative statement used to guide scientific investigations. - makes predictions about future events. - can be tested by many independent researchers. - based on observations of natural phenomena. - a well-established, highly reliable explanation.

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.

Ayoung boy has been found and police are trying to locate his family they take a dna sample from him and begin collec dna samples from families who have missing children if police use dna samples only from the fathers, which type of dn technology can they use to identify the boy's parent? y-chromosome analysis omtdna (mitochondrial dna) analysis vntrs (variable tandem repeats) o pcr (polymerase chain reaction) analysis
