A land developer and several ecologists are discussing how a parcel of private land should be developed with housing while savin

g 20 hectares as natural habitat. The land developer suggests that the 20 hectares be divided into 20 separate 1 -hectare areas, spread out across the area. The ecologists suggest that it would be better to have one intact parcel of 20 hectares on one side of the larger area. What is the significance of these different arrangements of the 20 hectares?
(A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels. (B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another. (C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects. (D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.

(B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another.

<h3>What is a Ecologist?</h3>

In the 1990s, the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park garnered widespread media attention and significantly increased the park's biodiversity. Unfortunately, the spread of exotic species like zebra mussels, Kudzu vines, and Burmese pythons in other regions of the United States more than offsets this success for native ecology.

The diverse roles that different species play in their communities make changes to those ecosystems very disruptive. Ecologists can aid us in making better decisions that reduce the effects of our actions on other species and the world by deepening our understanding of how nature functions.

How would a small, uncharged lipid move across the cell membrane?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Through simple diffusion, down the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The phospholipids of the membrane are amphipathic with hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails. Other polar molecules cannot go through this hydrophobic interior. Since small uncharged lipids are non polar and hydrohobic, they are able to go through the membrane without the help of transport proteins. Therefore, the last two options can be ruled out because facilitated diffusion includes the use of a protein. Diffusion involves molecules moving down the concentration gradient so the second option can be ruled out.

A signaling pathway that stimulates cellular growth and division is positively regulated by a GTPase encoded by an autosomally l
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a.

Explanation:

  • A Diploid organism possess two copies ( also called alleles) of each  autosomal gene, of which one copy of the gene is obtained from one of its parents and the other copy from its other parent.
  • During the process of replication, one of the alleles of the GTPase encoding gene undergoes a mis-sense mutation.
  • A Mis-sense mutation can be defined as a non-synonymous mutation in which one of the nucleotide in the sequence of the gene gets altered such that it causes a change in the amino acid encoded by the codon (triplet nucleotide message encoding for a single amino acid)  formed by the mutated nucleotide. A single amino acid change in the protein, if occurs in the functional site of the protein, can render a protein non-functional.
  • Hence, the mis-sense mutation in one of the alleles encoding for the GTPase gene causes the resulting protein produced from the mutated allele to have drastically reduced function (1%).
  • A heterozygous cell is one which has one copy of the normal allele and the other copy of the mutated allele of the GTPase encoding gene.
  • As one copy of the normal GTPase allele is present in such an individual, it can produce the normal GTPase protein that can assist in the process of cell growth and division.
  • Hence, the phenotype(expressed character) of  the heterozygous cell will not be affected due to the mutation and it will be able to grow and divide normally.
