when a prairie dog spots a predator, it responds by giving an alarm call, but only when close relatives are near. this is an example of vocalization.

<h3>What do you mean by predator ?</h3>

The interaction between prey and a predator, where the energy flow occur called as predation and the organism feed on other organism called as predator and the food means the other organism is called as prey.  

Predators can be carnivores and omnivores like Lions, tigers, sharks, and snakes, all are predators, it can fall prey to other large animals E.g. a snake is a predator to a mouse, but prey to a hawk.

Carnivorous predators directly kill and eat their prey like large animals such as the lion and tiger, they have their own mode of feeding.

Herbivore are plant eating animals like cows, buffaloes, goats, sheep, and deer; parasites are also under the category of predators which is a host dependent and live, get nutrients from host's body for survival and reproduction.

Several members of the same family were diagnosed with he same kind of cancer when they were unusually young. Which one of the f
Verdich [7]

Answer:

(c) Inherited a mutation in a gene required for mismatch repair

Explanation:

Gene mutations are occasional changes that occur in genes, that is, the procedure by which a gene undergoes a structural change. Mutations involve the addition, deletion or substitution of one or a few nucleotides of the DNA strand. Mutation provides the emergence of new forms of a gene and, consequently, is responsible for gene variability.

It is common for several members of the same family to have the same genetic mutations, as the gene affected by the mutation may condition a trait that DNA cannot repair. An example of this is the family shown in the question above, where several people were diagnosed with the same type of cancer while still young. What probably happened in this family was that people diagnosed with cancer inherited a mutation in a gene needed to repair incompatibility.

5 Which of the following statements best explains
Sav [38]

Answer:

B Physical separation of populations prevents  interbreeding and mixing of gene pools.

Explanation:

Geographic isolation means two populations are unable to reproduce with one another. This means that over time, the variation in the gene pool will be different for one group compared to the other, and the species will genetically diverge from one another. resulting in speciation.

List tim''s symptoms and identify the organ system (or specific organ) associated with those symptoms. (your may need to referen
pantera1 [17]
1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.

2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.
