Al's cat is displaying territoriality by marking his territory by marking territory with urine and scratches.

Territoriality

Territoriality is the defense of the area where an organism lives. The marked area is often regarded as the territory of the animal living there. Al's cat is marking its territory by urinating on the plants and scratching them. Other animals that enter the territory of the cat will be able to know that the territory is not theirs and keep themselves away from the same. If an animal invades the territory of another animal it might get attacked by the animal whose territory it just invaded.

Marking the territory often comes with many perks as the animal is able to lay claim to the food, nest locations, shelter, interactions with mates, etc. The animal is able to monopolize the space in which they live.

o-na [289]

Answer:

This suggests that neurons that send the signals that we perceive as first pain Myelinated Tpye A-delta___, and neurons that send the signals that we perceive as second pain Unmyelinated-Type C.___.

Explanation:

Physiologically, primary afferent neurons that innervated the the touch, pain, temperature,and pressure receptors in the effectors  to input sensory signals to the spinal cord and the brain  are categorized based on their diameter, sizes, and nature of  myelination. Based on this;

<u>A-alpha has the largest diameter, myelinated, and sensitive to sensation from the muscle cells</u>

<u>A-beta are next in diameter, myelinated and sensitive to sensation  of touch.</u>

A-delta followed in diameter, and  size. They are mylinated, and sensitive to pain and temperature.

<u>C-fibres are least in diameter, they are unmyelinated, but sensitive to pain, touch and temperature.</u>

<u />

<u>Therefore, if the speed of conduction,of action  potential in a neuron depends on the diameter(thickness) and myelination of the axon(saltatory conduction)</u> :

''then, acute sensation/ first pain should be transmitted by the A-delta fibre. While the the slower/second pain should be transmitted by the slower unmyelinated - C-fibres''.

Evolution

Explanation:

Evolution is the change in habits, hereditary and physical characteristics of a species over various generations in response to environmental conditions. Evolution lead to adaptation, the nature selection of the fittest and elimination of remaining.

Evolution may produce variety and diversity in response to mutation, genetic drift and other genetic variation. These changes may pass to offspring and may express them more in one group of population.

Evolution also explain the unity among organisms by explaining their shared characteristics. This refers to their common ancestors.
