Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.

<h3>What are isotopes?</h3>

Isotopes are any of two or more forms of an element where the atoms have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons within their nuclei.

As a result of this, atoms of isotopes will have the same atomic number but a different mass number.

Examples of isotopes are

  • Carbon-12 and Carbon-14
  • Nitrogen-14 and Nitrogen-15

Therefore, isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.

Explain two ways that mountain climbing and rock climbing are different?
babymother [125]

Please, please pick me as brainiest. It would make my day!

Answer:

The best way to look at it is that mountain climbing is a sport that involves the scaling of a mountain in its entirety. ... However, rock climbing by itself is so extensive that it can be and often is its own sport. Some mountains are more easily traversed by hiking, such as Mount Baker.

Two species of closely related frogs are found in the same pond high in the Andes of South America. Both species only have teeth
IgorLugansk [536]

Complete question:

Two species of closely related frogs are found in the same pond high in the Andes of South America. Both species only have teeth on the top jaw. One has small teeth for holding small live prey prior to swallowing. The other species has very large sharp teeth for injuring and killing large prey prior to biting off pieces of flesh for consumption. The above is an example of:

  • Directional selection
  • Analogous structures
  • Character displacement
  • Hybridization
  • Vestigial structures

Answer:

  • Character displacement

Explanation:

Competition is an ecological and evolutive process very common in nature. Competition might be intra- or interspecific. Competition between different species in a community or ecosystem might be due to the same resource use, or the same territory, shelter, etcetera. When a resource is useful for two or more species, and limited, they compete to gain it.

The principle of competitive exclusion states that different species with the same requirements sharing the niche can not coexist indefinitely based on the same limited resource. When <u>two competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation</u>.

Differentiation of effective niche is closely related to <u>character displacement.</u>

<u>Character displacement</u> is the result of interspecific competition, in which two or more species that live in the same habitat manage to avoid competition by developing different traits. Morphological divergence, or any adaptative trait development, fixated genetically, is the product of niche segregation. Species tend to differentiate morphologically in the presence of strong competitors. Traits divergence favors coexistence in the same place.

In the exposed example, both species live in the same pond. But to avoid competition and competitive exclusion, species developed different teeth sizes to feed on different prey items.

Why is it that some organisms do not appear to be perfectly adapted to their environment?
Klio2033 [76]
No population or organism is perfectly adapted. ... The population or individual does not "want" or "try" to evolve, and natural selection cannot try to supply what an organism "needs." Natural selection just selects among whatever variations exist in the population. The result is evolution.
