Due to resource partitioning, zebra relative density changes over time and grass height.

<h3>What is resource partitioning?</h3>
  • Resource partitioning is the process by which due to natural selection, competing species use different resources and niches.
  • In the case of African savanna, right after peak rain all the three grazers (zebra, wildebeest, and Thomson’s gazelle) have high density.
  • After rain in one month relative density of zebras is maximum but it becomes nearly zero after three months due to high density of wildebeest and then increases a little after six months.
  • The density of zebras is greatest when the grass is tallest and most abundant because of resource partitioning as zebras get the most out of eating tall grass.
  • Zebras can eat and digest faster taller grasses with many stems.
  • This gives them an advantage over other grazers in terms of nutrition when the grass is tall.

Before the discovery of cells, people believed in the theory of spontaneous generation. According to this theory, living things
garri49 [273]
One statement that could disprove this theory is the fact that, according to the cell theory, all cells come from pre-existing cells. This basically means that cells can't just appear from nowhere; they have to come from another cell. Based on what we know today from scientific research, is there another law or statement that you could come up with to help disprove the theory? Hope this helped! :)

Why was introducing foxes ineffective at quelling the rapidly-growingrabbit population
natima [27]

The introduction of foxes in order to control, or even decline, the rapidly growing rabbit population was not effective due to very simple reasons, reproduction rates and available area for living.

The rabbits are reproducing quicker than the foxes, and not just quicker, but in larger numbers with every lither, thus outnumbering the foxes by far, even if each fox manages to kill a rabbit or two each day.

The area available for the rabbits to live and spread out is huge, so they are not limited by a small amount of area where their number will have to stop to grow because of lack of food sources, thus spreading around without any problem, especially because of the lack of competition.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

c. The cells of all organisms contain DNA that is housed in a membrane-bound nucleus.

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material found in the cells of living organisms. Among the characteristics of the DNA that makes up the genetic code, it is said to be nearly universal though. DNA is said to be the "blueprint of life".

This means that the DNA sequence that encodes protein and useful information is the same in almost all living organisms. Hence, the statement that "cells of all organisms contain DNA that is housed in a membrane-bound nucleus is the" justification that fact that all organisms share some basic features and life processes is used by biologists to explain the idea that all life.
