A population of crabs live on a light-colored sandy beach. In this environment there is a population of birds that eat the crabs. One year, there is a volcanic eruption near the beach and dark volcanic ash covers the beach. The sand is now much darker than it used to be. If scientists visited the island a year after the eruption, what would they likely see?

1. There are equal numbers of light crabs and dark crabs, because they are both adapted to the environment.

2. There are more light crabs, because they are better at obtaining food.

3. There are more dark crabs, because they are less likely to be seen and eaten by birds.

4. The eruption has caused all crabs to go extinct.

Answers

Answer 1
3 would make the best sense to me.
Answer 2
Answer is number 3

Explanation: with the beach being dark, the light crabs no longer camouflage with surroundings. Now dark crabs will have an easier time blending in to avoid being eaten

Which of the following is an example of a heritable characteristic (or inheritable trait) possessed by an animal that will improve its reproductive potential and survivability in its environment?

a. Position of geese flying in V formation
b. Color and shape camouflage of praying mantis
c. Muscle atrophy in aging dogs
d. Male dominance in a pack of wolves

Answers

i think the answer would be B, because the color and shape is a trait/characteristic that will improve its survival chances

The color and shape camouflage of praying mantises is an example of an heritable trait possessed by an animal that will improve its reproductive ability and survivability in its environment. So, the correct option is (B).

What are Traits?

A phenotypic trait is defined as a specific type of a phenotypic characteristic of an organism that can be either inherited or environmentally determined, but usually occurs as a combination of both.

These are characteristics or features of an organism that are expressed by genes and/or influenced by the environment including physical properties of the organism such as hair color, leaf shape, size, etc., and behavioral characteristics such as bird nests.

The color and shape camouflage of praying mantises is an example of an heritable trait. Thus, the correct option is (B).

PLEASE HELP!!!!! FIRST ANSWER GET BRAINIEST!!!!!
A lichen is an organism that structurally appears to be a single organism. But a lichen is actually two different organisms—a fungus and green algae—living together as one organism. The fungal partner derives its nutrition from the photosynthesizing algae. How does a lichen differ in its photosynthetic activity from Elysia chlorotica, the sea slug that’s considered to be a photosynthesizing animal?
A.
In lichens, the fungi photosynthesize on their own, while Elysia chlorotica forms a relationship with a photosynthesizing plant.
B.
In lichens, the relationship with the algae lasts throughout the life cycle, but in Elysia chlorotica, the relationship occurs only during the immature juvenile stage of the slug’s life cycle.
C.
Lichens can photosynthesize only because of the living algal partner, while Elysia chlorotica incorporates chloroplasts from algae into its cells.
D.
In lichens, the association between the fungi and algae is permanent, while Elysia chlorotica associates with a photosynthesizing organism only when it requires food.

Answers

Answer:

B. Cycle

Explanation:

Lichen performs photosynthesis with the assistance of an algal partner, but Elysia chlorotica incorporates the chloroplast from an algal partner, which is how lichens vary from Elysia chlorotica in this regard,  hence option C is correct.

How does lichen photosynthesize?

A process known as photosynthesis is one in which green plants and some photosynthetic algae produce their own food, glucose, using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light.

Lichen is a symbiotic association between an algal component that produces food and a dominant partner fungus that gives the lichen its thallus form and fruiting bodies. A particular species of mollusc called Elysia chlorotica uses the chloroplast of an algal partner to carry out the photosynthesis process.

Therefore, Lichens can photosynthesize only because of the living algal partner, while Elysia chlorotica incorporates chloroplasts from algae into its cells, hence option C is correct.

Examples of abiotic factors are water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. Biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem.

The characteristics which would tell that the object is abiotic, or

not alive include the following:

Inability to eat,Inability to respond to stimuli,Inability to excrete,Inability to reproduce etc.

What is the graphical representation of age structure known as?
OA.
age group
OB. age graph
Oc. age scale
OD
age pyramid

Answers

Answer:

The graphical representation of the age structure is known as age pyramid (option D).

Explanation:

The age pyramid or more properly called population pyramid groups all the individuals of a population, distributing them by age and sex. The name is due to the fact that, in general, the bar graph resembles a pyramid.

The age groups are distributed in the pyramid by age from lowest (bottom) to highest (top), with the sexes forming the sides of the pyramid.

In emerging countries the population is relatively young, which makes the base of the pyramid wide, narrowing as it moves up to the upper age groups.

    Age group, age graph or age scale do not correspond to the population graph where the age and sex structure of a population are expressed.

Which conclusion is supported by this evidence? Neither ball has a charge. The balls are both positively charged. One ball is positively charged, and the other is negatively charged. Each ball has a charge, but the type of charge is unknown.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - Neither ball has a charge

Explanation:

If the two balls are hanged near one another without touch or an external charge to any of the balls there would be no charge present. In the given question is it given that two balls hang down without any contact in them.

So there is no possible way to generate charge and remain uncharge in their position till they get any external charge.

The correct answer is - Neither ball has a charge
