Maintain population numbers close to the habitat carrying capacity are called _______ species

Biology
1 answer:
marishachu [46]2 years ago
3 0

Animal species that exhibit long gestation periods, give birth to relatively large offspring, and maintain population numbers close to the habitat carrying capacity are called K-selected species.

In nature, a given habitat contains sufficient resources such as food, water, etc. to support a maximum possible number of biological species, beyond which no further growth is possible. It is termed as nature's carrying capacity for that species in the habitat.

MacArthur and Wilson proposed that there are two life-history strategies i.e. K-selected and r-selected. K-selected species exhibit a proportionately stable population that gives rise to a low number of offspring which tend to be very large. For example the African elephant is included among K-selected species.

Which of these accurately describes the process of translation?
marysya [2.9K]
<span>The correct answer is A) a single amino acid may have more than one codon that translates for it.</span>
<span>This property of the codon is called codon degeneracy and is the redundancy of the genetic code. As a result, there is the multiplicity of three-base-pair codon combinations that specify an amino acid and that increases tolerance to point mutations (synonymous mutations). Usually, the codons encoding one amino acid differ in the second or third position.</span>

What happens to a population of predators, perhaps a pride of lions, if their prey, say the gazelle population, in their area wa
lys-0071 [83]

Explanation:

1. Since the Lions are the predator and Gazelles are the prey therefore a predator-prey relationship exists between them. The predator-prey relation is also associated with the food chain in an ecosystem. If the number of prey is reduced then there are chances that the number of a predator will also be reduced but

2. The Lion is not just the predator of Gazelle but other animals also like deer therefore they can shift their resource of food from gazelles to another organism.

3.The change of the ecosystem will change the population of the predator as the population are adapted to grow in a particular ecosystem and change of population could reduce the population of a predator.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The near-UV CD range (>250 nm) of proteins delivers info on the define configuration. The indications found within the 250–300 nm section are because of the engagement, dipole alignment and also the environment of the encircling atmosphere of the essential amino acid, tyrosine, aminoalkanoic acid (or S-S disulfide associations) and essential amino acids. In contrast to far-UV CD, the near-UV CD variation can't be allotted to any specific 3D configuration. Relatively, near-UV CD varieties offer essential info on the character of the prosthetic teams in proteins, e.g., the pigment teams in hemoprotein and cytochrome.
