Answer:
variation
Explanation:
Through this process of natural selection, favorable traits are transmitted through generations. Natural selection can lead to speciation, where one species gives rise to a new and distinctly different species. It is one of the processes that drives evolution and helps to explain the diversity of life on Earth.
Based on the information given above, which of the following models best represents the relationship between zooplankton , minnows, and largemouth bass in a freshwater ecosystem?
Chose the correct image to answer the question above. NEED THIS FAST
Answer:
Option C: Minnows have a direct negative effect (⇒(-)) on the population size of zooplankton. Basses have a negative effect (⇒(-)) on the population size of minnows. Basses have an indirect positive (---> (+)) effect on zooplankton.
Explanation:
In the trophic web occurs a process of energy transference through different organisms that places at different levels. Each level feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. The first link is an autotroph organism or producer. The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.
If any of the links change their population size (increasing it or decreasing it), it affects the superior links and the immediately anterior link.
In the exposed example, zooplankton, minnows, and basses are continuously interacting.
Minnow →(-) ZooplanktonMinnows feed on zooplankton. So they affect direct and negatively the invertebrate population. The more minnows there are, the more zooplankton they eat. So, as long as the minnows population keeps growing, the zooplankton population will be more affected because they will not have enough time to reproduce and recover from predation.
Bass →(-) Minnows
Bass feed on minnows, so they also affect direct and negatively the fish population. And the more the bass population grows in size, the more affected the minnows will be because many more basses will be eating them.
Bass ---->(+) Zooplankton
On the other hand, by negatively affecting the minnows population, basses will be indirectly and positively influencing the zooplankton population. This fact is because the more minnows basses eat, the fewer fishes there will be to prey on zooplankton. So the invertebrate will have enough time to recover its population size. The predation pressure acting on zooplankton will decrease thanks to the action of basses preying on minnows.
Here there is a natural equilibrium between the three species. It is a representation of typical cycle predator-prey.
Minnows prey on zooplankton. Minnows population grows, and the zooplankton population decreases.As the minnow population grows, there is more available food for basses, who eat more minnows. As the bass population increases, the minnows population decreases in size. And as there are fewer minnows, the zooplankton population will increase. If minnows decrease in number, basses will decrease in number too. Minnows will not be severely affected by basses, so their population increases again. As zooplankton also increased, there will be more available food for minnows that will keep reproducing. And the more minnows there are, the more available food for basses there will be. And basses population will increase again. So you can see that zooplankton is indirectly and positively affecting the basses population too (not shown in images).Rocks that are formed from sediment that has been compressed over time and becomes solid are called ______________ rocks *

A student is planning an investigation of the effect of population size on an ecosystem. She plans to use a five-gallon fish tank with ten goldfish for her investigation. How should the student perform her investigation? A. She should limit the amount of food given and observe the results. B. She should add a predator fish to the tank and observe the results C. She should continue to add more goldfish to the tank and observe the results D. She should change the temperature of the water in the tank and observe the results.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Because the student is observing the effects on the population, so it would make more sense to add more fish to the tanks to see how they would get effected.
A student is planning an investigation of the effect of population size on an ecosystem, so she should continue to add more goldfish to the tank and observe the results, as in Option C.
What is the population size of an ecosystem?In the student's investigation, the goal is to observe the effect of population size on an ecosystem using a fish tank with goldfish. The student has already decided to use a five-gallon fish tank with ten goldfish for the experiment, so by adding more goldfish to the tank, the student can observe the effect of population size on the ecosystem. As the population of goldfish increases, the competition for resources such as food, oxygen, and space will also increase. This can lead to changes in behavior.
Hence, she should continue to add more goldfish to the tank and observe the results, as in Option C.

osmosis. Your hypothalamus senses that your cells are shrinking
and sends a message to the
pituitary to release antidiuretic hormone. ADH sends a message to the kidneys to stop
releasing water in the urine. You also start to feel thirsty. The result is that your cell's water

A certain lake has a volume of about 480 m³. If the total population of freshwater shrimp in the lake is 600 million, what is the population density of the shrimp in that lake?
Answer:
1,250,000 shrimps per m³
Explanation:
Population density refers to how dense an area is per unit area/volume, and it is calculated by dividing the number of individuals in that area (population) by the area/volume of that area. That is;
Population density = population (N)/volume
According to this question, a certain lake has a volume of about 480 m³ that harbors a 600 million of freshwater shrimp. This means that;
Population density of the lake = population of shrimps ÷ volume of lake
Population density = 600,000,000 ÷ 480
Population density = 1,250,000 shrimps per m³

Explanation:
Shotgun sequencing is a method used to determine the nucleotide sequence of entire chromosomes/genomes. This sequencing method consists of obtaining random DNA fragments which are subsequently classified by bioinformatic tools that ordering them according to overlapping sequences called contigs. In the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) technique, the entire genome of an organism is sequenced, being the critical factor the depth of sequencing, which refers to the quality of the sequencing reads (e.g., a depth of 20X indicates that the genome is sequenced 20 times by a sequencing machine). For the human genome, WGS became available after the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which enabled the generation of a reference sequence for the whole human genome. The steps of the WGS technique are the following:
1. Preparation of isolated chromosomes
2. The DNA is sheared into small fragments
3. The DNA fragments of about 1 kilobase (1000 base pairs) are incorporated into plasmids which are cloned to render pure samples of each DNA fragment
4. The plasmid clones are sequenced by sequencing machines
5. Bioinformatic tools finally are used to link DNA fragments by their overlapping ends

On the planet Feline, there are only cats. For one particular phenotype, Myles, there are two manifestations: either the cats like jazz music (the wild type phenotype) or they do not (the mutant phenotype). Under the assumption this phenotype is determined by a single gene with two alleles, and given that a mating of two wild-type cats produces the following number of offspring: Female, wild-type: 341; Male, wild-type: 369; Female, Myles: 121; Male, Myles: 123. The mode of inheritance most consistent with these data is:________
A. Autosomal dominant.
B. Two-locus inheritance.
C. Sex-linked recessive.
D. Autosomal recessive.
E. Two-locus dominant.
Answer:
D. Autosomal recessive.
Explanation:
Available data:
One diallelic gene codes for the phenotype MylesOne allele expresses the wild type phenotype → like jazz musicThe other allele expresses the mutated phenotype → don´t like jazzCross: Between two wild catsF1) Female, wild-type: 341; Male, wild-type: 369; Female, Myles: 121; Male, Myles: 123Autosomal recessive inheritance characterizes because the mutated gene locates in one of the 22 non-sexual, somatic chromosomes. To express the phenotype, an individual must carry two copies of the mutated gene. For this reason, the recessive allele must be present in both the male/father and the female/mother.
In the exposed example, the numbers among the progeny are 341:369:121:123. These values approximate a phenotypic ratio 3:1 for females, and for males. This ratio suggests that the cross was performed between two heterozygous individuals.
Let us name the alleles M and m, dominant and recessive respectively. The cross would be like follows
Cross: wild-type male x wild-type female
Parentals) Mm XY x MmXX
Gametes) MX, MY, mX, mY MX, MX, mX, mX
Punnett Square) MX MX mX mX
MX MMXX MMXX MmXX MmXX
mX MmXX MmXX mmXX mmXX
MY MMXY MMXY MmXY MmXY
mY MmXY MmXY mmXY mmXY
F1) Whole progeny
12/16 = 3/4 = 75% Wild-type cats → MMXX + MmXX + MMXY + MmXY4/16 = 1/4 = 25% Mutated cats → mmXX + mmXYFemales
6/8 = 3/4 = 75% Wild-type cats → MMXX + MmXX 2/8 = 1/4 = 25% Mutated cats → mmXXMales
6/8 = 3/4 = 75% Wild-type cats → MMXY + MmXY2/8 = 1/4 = 25% Mutated cats → mmXY
If u and y are two variables such that
du
= 4v - 3. and u = 5 when v = 2,
du/dv
find u in terms of v.
Answer:
5
Explanation:
The value of u is 5 in term of v by putting the value o v which is 2 in the formula that is du = 4v - 3. Putting the value of v = 2 we get, du = 4(2) - 3. --- du = 8 - 3. ---- du = 5. we are able to solve the question due to the presence of v value. If the v value is not present then we can't find the value of u in term of v. So we can conclude that the value of u in term of v is 5 if we put the value of v in the formula.
