the image here is a spiny stickleback, with the three spines highlighted with black arrows. The spines are a rigid projection of

the external scales. The three-spine stickleback is found in freshwater lakes, but it is rarely found in oceans. Large oceans have spineless sticklebacks that lack these projections. Which component of natural selection is likely driving the change in phenotype distribution of these two sticklebacks in different environments?

The component of natural selection which is most likely driving the change in phenotype distribution is, that the presence of spines on stickleback caused increased food acquisition and survival in ocean areas.

<h3>What do you mean by Natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection may be defined as a process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. It involves the favorable variations to carry forward.

Stickleback play a major role in the diet of fish. This structure of fish allows them to feed on small crustaceans and insects.

Therefore, it is well described above.

The words for the descriptions are food chain, trophic level, energy pyramid, high diversity, low diversity, etc. respectively.

<h3>Ecology</h3>
  • The feeding relationship that exists among organisms is termed the food chain.

  • Each step in the transfer of energy and matter in a community is termed the trophic level.

  • A community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment is termed an ecosystem.

  • A diagram that compares the energy used by producers, primary consumers, and other trophic levels is known as the energy pyramid.

  • An ecosystem with a high number of species is said to be of high diversity.

  • An ecosystem with a few prominent species and a low number of other species is said to be of low diversity.

  • Organisms that feed on and break down organic matter are said to be decomposers.

  • Organisms that can make their own food in the ecosystem are termed, producers.

  • Animals that feed on flesh are called carnivores.

  • A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains is called a food web.

The reactions of the calvin cycle are not directly dependent on light, but they usually do not occur at night. why?
scoray [572]
The Calvin cycle requires atp and nadph which can only be produced in the daytime by sunlight(light reactions) , therefore the cycle cannot happen.

Which of the following is TRUE about sexual reproduction? Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Sexual reproduction produces a greater variation in offspring.

Explanation:

  • B is wrong because in sexual reproduction there are two organisms involved who combine their DNA, therefore resulting in non-identical offsprings.
  • C is wrong because sexual reproduction requires the two organisms involved to exchange DNA's whereas asexual reproduction involves only one organism which only copies it's own DNA for reproduction.
  • D is wrong because there are no risks as genetic defects and no need to seek a mate or it is easier than sexual reproduction which results in lower risks for the parents in asexual reproduction.
  • E is wrong because asexual production is a more efficient procedure and results in a faster growing population because there is no need to search a mate.
  • The answer is A because in sexual reproduction, two different DNA's from both parents get combined resulting in more variation in offspring. In asexual reproduction, there is only one set of DNA which does not allow the gene's to mix, causing a less diverse offspring.
