Damm [24]2 years ago

In this case, c) mimicry is the answer. In Batesian mimicry in which harmless animals mimic toxic animals. In this case, I assume the milk snake is harmless and the coral snake is venomous. Since the milk snake has a trait similar to deadly coral snake, less animals would eat it thinking it is dangerous. Over time all the milk snake that look like the deadly coral snake would survive leading to evolution by natural selection. This would lead to more and more milk snake mimicking the resemblance of the deadly coral snake.

a) The deadly coral snake has a warning color adaptive radiation. If the question had described the environment and how the snaked adapted to the environment via warning coloration. This would've been correct.

b) cryptic coloration is more about camouflage with the environment. If the question had state how a certain feature help one of the animals blend into the background. This would've been correct.

d) I'm not sure whats different between this and a so i'll consider them both the same.

How can volcanoes and rivers be both constructive and destructive forces
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Volcanoes can be constructive if they happen in the ocean, as they can form islands and therefore be new places for plants and animals to grow and thrive.

Volcanoes can be destructive if they kill a large amount of animals by forming on land.

Hope this helps :)

There are 100 cats in a population that follows hardy-weinberg conditions. 4 cats display a recessive white coat color. how many
mr Goodwill [35]

We know that Hardy-Weinberg conditions include the following equations:


p^{2}+2pq+ q^{2}=1


where p+q=1


And where p = dominant, and q = recessive; this means that p^{2} is equal to the homozygous dominant, 2pq is the heterozygous, and q^{2} is the homozygous recessive .


So we have 100 total cats, with 4 having the recessive white coat color. That means we have a ratio of \frac{4}{100} or 0.04. Let that equal our q^{2} value.


So when we solve for q, we get:


q^{2}=0.04

q=\sqrt{0.04} =0.2


Now that we have our q value, we can use the other equation to find p:


p+q=1


p+0.2=1


p=0.8


So then we can solve for our heterozygous population:


2pq=2(0.8)(0.2)=0.32


This is the ratio of the population. So we then multiply this number by 100 to get the number of cats that are heterozygous:


0.32*100=32cats


So now we know that there are 32 heterozygous cats in the population.

<em>b. wildfires</em>

<em>b. magnified the greenhouse effect</em>


The first blank is pretty simple; if lightning (electricity) strikes something flammable, like a forest, a fire is sure to ensue. This fire will obviously spread to the other trees and cause a massive wildfire.

The second blank is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is said to have caused our warming climate, which makes sense because heat from the sun gets trapped in our global "greenhouse", or the lower atmosphere. Lower atmosphere is key here because a large event like a massive wildfire can add some more heat to the atmosphere and contribute to this effect. A wildfire may seem like a minor event on a global scale, but it will do more damage to the atmosphere than you think!
