Do acids or bases evaporate faster?

One does not necessarily evaporate faster than the other. You would have to assess each acid and base individually.


What are the two main types of isolation?

That would be geographic isolation and reproductive isolation. Both could lead to speciation.


Why is variation important for natural selection and what are the main sources of this variation?

Without variation natural selection would have nothing to select from that would confer survivability and reproductive success. on the organisms being selected against the organisms conspecifics and the immediate environment. Mutation and sexual recombination provide the main sources of this variation that is needed to make selection work. Mutation is the variation presented that causes the real adaptive change that can lead to speciation.


How does heritability affect natural selection?

Without the heritability of individual traits what difference would it make if the individual was selected. An individual that has a germ line mutation, say, and this mutation could confer survivability and reproductive success on progeny thus passes this mutation to said offspring is selected. Then evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, could take place. Heritability is all as individuals are selected but populations evolve.

How would you assess Charlemagne's success?

Charlemagne's success was generally great. He dominated Europe for centuries.


Is human evolution compared with success and strength?

Success and strength? The coin evolution pays in is reproductive success. The only success is to have the genes represented in the population of the next generation and beyond. That depends on the strategies used and the local environment they are used in. Strength could be a strategy to maximize reproductive success, but that would be only one of many strategies and definitely dependent on the environment in question.


Why are flowers important for plants--what is their role?

Flowers contain the reproductive parts of the plant. Without them the plant species would die out.


What is the best collection of life history traits that would maximize reproductive success?

The best collection of life history traits to maximize reproductive success would include early reproductive maturity, high fecundity, efficient resource allocation strategies, effective parental care, and long lifespan. These traits would help organisms produce more offspring and increase their chances of survival and successful reproduction in their environment.


What would happen to the reproductive success of a light skinned person living in the tropics?

A light-skinned person living in the tropics may experience challenges related to sun exposure, such as increased risk of sunburn and skin damage. This could affect their overall health and potentially impact their reproductive success if not properly managed with protective measures like sunscreen and clothing. However, reproductive success is influenced by many factors beyond skin color.

How would you compare and contrast a fruit and a vegetable?

A fruit has seeds; a vegetable does not. A vegetable is an edible plant or its part, intended for cooking or eating raw; a fruit is a reproductive part of the plant.


Where would you find pollen in a plant?

Pollen is typically found in the male reproductive organs of a plant, specifically in the anthers of the flower. Bees and other pollinators collect pollen from these anthers to transfer it to the female reproductive organs of other flowers for fertilization.


How is mimicry a adaptation?

Anything that leads to survival and reproductive success is, generally, an intrinsic adaption. If a butterfly were to mimic another butterfly that was poison to it's predators then those self same predators would tend to leave the non-poison butterfly alone as well as the poison butterfly thus leading to survival and reproductive success for the mimic.


How would you assess my clothing style?

I suppose that I would assess it through observation.


What do you get when you combine a egg with pollen?

Combining an egg with pollen would not be a common or recommended practice. The egg is an animal reproductive cell, while pollen is a plant reproductive cell. They are not compatible for combining in a biological manner.


Which would most likely need to happen for a new plant to grow?

The new plant if cross pollinated need to have its pollinators at that place for its success to grow and multiply.
