Anettt [7]2 years ago

Option (B) Habituation is the right answer.

Crocodiles that ignore birds cleaning their teeth instead of eating them is an example of habituation.

<h3>Crocodile and avian mutualism—is it real?</h3>
  • One of nature's best instances of mutualism is the interaction between a Nile crocodile and an Egyptian plover bird.
  • A crocodile will simply open his mouth and wait when he needs to floss.
  • The plover bird will involuntarily swoop down and grab meat scraps from the crocodile's gaping jaws.

<h3>Why do crocodiles develop a habit of approaching the birds that brush their teeth?</h3>
  • It is a phenomenon of evolution that when a bird used to sit in a crocodile's mouth, the crocodile didn't eat it; instead, the crocodile used to allow the bird to sit in the mouth and clean the crocodile's teeth so that they can live longer, whereas the birds could get the free food from the crocodile's mouth.
  • It is an illustration of how the two are mutually beneficial.
  • The same is true now because crocodiles have adapted to the fact that birds will clean their teeth, so rather than consuming them, they ignore the birds.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

the humus contains the minerals necessary for chlorophyll synthesis

Explanation:

<em>The yellowness of leaves in plants can be attributed to inadequate chlorophyll in the plant</em>. The chlorophyll is responsible for the greenness appearance of the leaves of plants and when it is present in inadequate quantity, the leaves appear yellowish in color.

<u>Some of the minerals necessary for the formation of chlorophyll include magnesium, nitrogen, and iron</u>. It thus means that the humus supplied to the soil of group 1 plant has the necessary minerals to synthesize chlorophyll while the soil of group 2 plants is deficient in some or all the minerals required for chlorophyll synthesis.

Nadya [2.5K]
The correct answer is none of the above.

Bacterial cells can transfer genetic material through a process called bacterial conjugation. This process involves the direct physical contact of the bacterial cells and a horizontal gene transfer. The genes which are transferred are most of the times beneficial for the recipient, such as genes for antibiotic resistance.

In this example, bacterial cells cannot have physical contact, since they are separated by a glass filter. Therefore, the bacterial conjugation cannot happen. Given that no gene transfer can be achieved, the AY strain remains bio- trp- and is unable to grow on any medium that lacks bio or/and trp.
