Answer:
- Ecological levels to consider in this study: organism, population and community
- Approach: I would use an observational approach to study this bird species
Explanation:
The levels of the ecological organization include the organism, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere (from simplest to most complex). In this exploratory study, it is imperative to consider: 1-morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations of the bird species (i.e., organismal-level), 2- size/density/structure of the bird population (i.e., population-level), and 3-interactions between bird population and other populations (i.e., community-level). The higher ecological levels, i.e., ecosystem-level (relationships between the community and abiotic factors ) and biosphere-level (biosphere = planet Earth), can be in this case disregarded because this study is centered on a focus bird species. Moreover, it is expected to apply an observational strategy because nothing is currently known about the focus bird species. The experimental and modeling approaches seem more suitable to test a particular hypothesis being discussed (it is not the case for this study).
Answer:
<h3>When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming.</h3>
This is an example of CONDOMINANCY.
Condominancy is said to occur when two different alleles are combined together to form a different allele, in which the alleles are expressed equally and none of them is dominant. In the example given above, the black rat population mated with the white rat population to produce offspring that are grey in colour. Thus, the white and the black colour of the parents are not dominant, but are equally expressed to give gray colour.
Answer:
Collagen genes.
Explanation:
Phylogenetics helps to study the evolutionary relationship among the different group of organisms. The different characteristics like DNA sequences, mitochondria sequences can be used for the construction of phylogeny tree.
Collagen genes can be used to study the evolutionary relationship as mammals contains nearly 30% of total protein. The collagen gene shows the most of the conserved sequences among the different group of organisms and shows the most recent evolved characters in vertebrates.
Thus, the correct answer is collagen genes.
