The correct option is this: VARIATIONS ARE GREATER OVER LAND THAN OVER WATER.
Temperature variation over water is very small compared to temperature variation over land. This is because, water has high specific heat capacity, which enables it to resist temperature changes when it absorb heat or when it releases heat. A large amount of heat has to be lost or gained before water will show a one degree Celsius temperature change.
Draw a punnet square:
R. r.
R. RR. Rr
r. Rr. rr
Any combo that results in an R results in red flowers.
3/4 offspring have red flowers.
A result of convergent evolution are the webbed feet of ducks and frogs.
Explanation:
The evolution of the animals, or rather the development of adaptive features, works in very interesting manner. It is very common in nature that animals that are closely related do not share similar characteristics, or the opposite, animals that are not closely related but share similar characteristics. The later case, is referred to as convergent evolution, where totally different animals have developed the same or very similar characteristics in order to be better suited for their environment.
In this case we have the ducks and frogs, and the webbed feet as shared adaptations, or feature. The ducks are birds, while the frogs are amphibians, and their last common ancestor has lived hundreds of millions of years ago. Despite that, both animals have developed webbed feet, and the reason for this has been that both animals have faced the same challenge, swimming and diving, and the webbed feet help them to be much faster and more agile in the water.
Other examples of convergent evolution (in the present and in the past) are:
- Hyena - Tasmanian devil
- Sandy cat - Fenec fox
- Smilodon - Thylacosmilus
- Bats - Birds

Answer: 1. a. logistics model of growth
2. a. environmental conditions
3. b. all limiting factors
4. b. water availability
Explanation:
1. a. logistic model of growth will show the increase in population of a species in accordance with the carrying capacity exponentially but when the population will experience the scarcity of resources it will decline considerably.
Carrying capacity is the total number of members of the population of a species that an ecosystem can sustain by providing resources.
2. b. All environmental conditions which favor the survival of the living beings will contribute to the carrying capacity for example food, water, shelter, and other resources.
3. b. Limiting factor is the one which limit the chances of survival and growth of a particular species in an ecosystem. For example, scarcity of food, here food is the limiting factor.
4. d. A density dependent limiting factor is the one which affects the population of the species based upon the density. The water availability is a density dependent limiting factor because the more the density or abundance of a population more will be the scarcity of water as it will be required by all organisms. So, the species population may experience decline due scarcity of water.
The answer would be : <span>It is a well supported explanation which cannot become a law.
A law and a theory are different you know. In fact, the law is universel. This applies for everything unlike a theory which explains in particular why something is happening.
Any doubts ?
Hope this helps !
