Harbor seals live in northern oceans and have a layer of blubber (fat) that keeps them warm. Seals can have blubber of different thicknesses.


Seals with thicker blubber are more likely to stay warm and survive in cold ocean waters. But, in warm ocean waters, thicker blubber can make the seals overheat and die.

Diagram titled Population Before containing 2 rows of seal icons. The first row is labeled Medium Blubber and contains 2 seal icons. The second row is labeled Thin Blubber and contains 9 seal icons.




The diagram above shows a population of seals that lived in an area of ocean. Scientists had previously only seen seals with medium or thin blubber in this area of ocean; they had never seen seals with thick blubber.


The diagram below shows how the population changed after many generations.

(second picture)


Edin says the change in the seal population was caused by a change in the environment.

Vada says the change was caused by a mutation.

Miko thinks both Edin and Vada are correct.

Who do you think is right? Explain what happened to the seals over many generations.

Answer: The findings show that the seals have significantly altered in accordance with changes in food availability that are associated with climate conditions. Despite a shift in the population towards 'fitter' individuals, this fitness is not passing down through generations, leaving the population in decline.

Explanation:

This shows that seals have altered following changes in food availability that are associated with climate conditions. Even though a shift in the population towards fitter individuals this fitness is not passed down through generations, which leaves the population in decline.  

Seals refer to a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, mostly marine mammals. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae, Otariidae, and Phocidae. There are 34 extant species of pinnipeds, and more than 50 extinct species have been described from fossils.

While seals were historically thought to have descended from two ancestral lines, molecular evidence supports them as a monophyletic lineage. Pinnipeds belong to the order Carnivora and their closest living relatives are musteloids having diverged about 50 million years ago. Seals are in most places, but most species prefer the colder waters of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They spend most of their lives in the water, but come ashore to mate, give birth, moult or escape from predators, such as sharks and orcas.

Seals mainly live in marine environments but can also be found in freshwater.

Read the information about the countries of SW Asia and then write a 1 paragraph response using RACES that answers: Compare and contrast citizen rights of Isreal, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.

Israel

For Israelis and visitors who choose religious practice of any faith or denomination (religious group an individual chooses), freedom of worship is assured as one of Israel’s basic tenets (beliefs). Those who prefer freedom from religion are equally protected. All Israeli citizens enjoy the full civil, legal and political rights guaranteed by a democratic (free) society. Some examples include the right to elect and to be elected, the right to free education, the freedom of expression and association, and many more.








Turkey

There is an ongoing debate in the country on the right to life, torture, freedom of expression as well as freedoms of religion, assembly and association. Turkey still keeps laws which are seen as undemocratic (not free) or authoritarian (strict obedience), such as prohibiting minorities (Kurds the country's largest minority) to get a primary education in their mother tongue. In March 2017, the United Nations accused the Turkish government of "massive destruction, killings and numerous other serious human rights violations" against the ethnic Kurdish minority. Some independent newspapers and websites face tremendous political pressure and are targeted for prosecution if they say anything negative about the government. Academics (university/schools) who openly discuss sensitive or politically charged subjects have found themselves targeted by the government.





Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia’s absolute monarchy restricts almost all political rights and civil liberties. Women and religious minorities face extensive discrimination in law and in practice. Political Rights: Saudi Arabia’s king is chosen by his predecessor (the person who rules after a king) from among male descendants of the country’s founder, though the choice must be approved by a council of senior princes. The king rules for life. Political parties are forbidden, and political dissent (go against) is effectively criminalized (found guilty/imprisoned). Opposition (to go against) movements are banned. Noncitizens, who make up roughly a third (33%) of the population in Saudi Arabia, have no political rights, and citizenship can only be directly transmitted by a citizen father whose marriage is recognized by the state. The government controls domestic media content; print and satellite-television coverage. Journalists can be imprisoned. In October 2018, one of the country’s most prominent journalists, Jamal Khashoggi, was murdered by Saudi agents inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Khashoggi, who had been critical of the government under Mohammed bin Salman, had been working in the United States as a columnist at the Washington Post. Saudi officials blamed rogue intelligence agents, but according to a UN special rapporteur, the evidence suggested that the crown prince was involved. In December 2019, a Saudi court sentenced five men to death for their role in the killing, and three others received prison sentences, but the most senior officials under investigation were acquitted due to a supposed lack of evidence. Mohammed bin Salman was never officially investigated. The government prohibits the public practice of any religion other than Islam. Academic freedom is restricted, and informers monitor classrooms. Freedom of assembly (to come together as a group) is prohibited. The government has imposed harsh punishments, including the death penalty on those who lead or participate in public protests. Torture by police and prison officials is common. In March 2019, international media published leaked prison medical records indicating that a number of political prisoners were suffering from cuts, bruises, burns, and malnutrition. Human rights groups had reported in late 2018 that detained (held in custody) women’s rights activists were given electric shocks, whipped, and beaten.

The people who preferred invasion instead of A- bombing seemed to have no intention of proceeding to the Japanese front themselves. I have already noted what a few more days would mean to the luckless troops and sailors on the spot…. On Okinawa, only a few weeks before Hiroshima, 123,000 Japanese and Americans killed each other.
