Answer:

One major side effect of DDT was the extreme damage to bird populations. DDT caused the shells of bird eggs to become extremely thin, which made them prone to breaking from minor disturbances and failing to thrive due to temperature regulation issues. It also slowly poisoned animals, especially birds that fed on insects that were poisoned by DDT. A notable bird species that was affected by DDT is the bald eagle. At one point in the 1960s, bald eagles nearly went extinct due to various effects of DDT. The threat of one of the most recognizable animals in America going extinct led to lawmakers trying to ban DDT.

Which geological feature is most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries?
alex41 [277]

Trenches are geological feature is most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.

Explanation:

Usually, the oceanic plate, because it is denser, becomes subducted underneath the continental plate. The enormous stress of the two colliding plates causes the plates to warp abit downwards along the boundary causing a trench to form that stretches the boundary.

As the oceanic plate gets subducted and ‘dives’ into the mantle, it begins to melt into magma. Usually, due to the enormous stress along the boundary, fissures develop on teh continental plate along teh boundary. The magma rises through these fissures and erupts at the surface. Several mountains form long the boundary forming another signature geological feature of convergent boundary which is volcanic arc mountains.

Which statement describes how predation and parasitism are different?
lakkis [162]
The correct answer is answer choice A, 'In predation the predator usually kills its prey, whereas in parasitism the parasite does not usually kill its host'. While parasites can occasionally kill their hosts, it is more beneficial for the parasite to keep its host alive so that it can continue surviving off of the nutrients it gathers. Answer choice B is incorrect because the prey in predator-prey relationships and the host in parasitism do not benefit. Answer choice C is incorrect because the host does not benefit in parasitism, and is often harmed by the parasite. Answer choice D is incorrect because a predator usually kills its prey, while a parasite usually does not kill its host.

Hope this helps!

The process shown here is called ____. The resulting offspring, Dolly, would be genetically identical to the ____. This is becau
Mama L [17]

Answer:

cloning, Finn-Dorset, DNA, nucleus

Explanation:

So basically what they're doing here is they're taking the cytoplasm of a cell of the Scottish Blackface sheep (maybe a lamb?, whatever)/removing the nucleus inside that cell and instead inserting the nucleus of the Finn-Dorset sheep. Then they insert that "integrated" cell (so to speak) into a surrogate ewe so that the blastocyst can evolve and develop into Dolly (the lamb/sheep).

The process is cloning. The resulting offspring would be genetically identical to the Finn-Dorset (sheep/lamb) b/c the nucleus is coming from that sheep & the nucleus has the genetic material (DNA).  Hope ya found this helpful :)

P.S. Oh yeah, and thanks for the fifty points (hopefully)
