The goldenrod gall-fly lays its eggs on the terminal buds of goldenrod plants. Larvae chew through the buds and into the stems,

where their saliva induces the plant to generate a gall, or outgrowth of tissue, that then provides food and shelter for the developing larva. The larvae are prey to both parasitoid wasps and to birds; wasps selectively prey on larvae inside the smallest galls while birds selectively prey on larvae inside the largest galls. Goldenrod gall-flies are therefore subject to what selection?

Answer:

Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

This occurs when selective pressures occur against the two extremes of a trait (wasps prey on larvae inside the smallest galls; birds prey on larvae inside the biggest galls). As a result, this would select for larvae in medium sized galls, while the number of larvae in small and large galls decreases.

This type of air pressure is associated with warm air rising

Answer:

Areas where the air is warmed often have lower pressure because the warm air rises. These areas are called low pressure systems. Places where the air pressure is high, are called high pressure systems. A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it.

Identify a structure other than a cell wall or a vacuole that might be found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell. explain
enot [183]
One structure that can be found is most plant cells is chloroplast. A plant cell may have around 0 to 20 chloroplast, depending on their location in plant or their function.

Chloroplast is the structure that photosynthesis occurs. Photosynthesis is the method that plant make food for themselves. They turn sunlight into food such as starch.

Plants are autotrophs, which means they make food themselves, they don't need food from other sources like animals. Therefore, chloroplast is not found in animal cells because we are heterotrophs, we feed on other food.

Answer:

Reducir las actividades humanas.

Explicación:

Reducir el uso de combustibles fósiles, el uso de vehículos que funcionen con electricidad y plantar más plantas y árboles son las acciones que propondría para ayudar a que la biosfera y sus ciclos no se vean afectados. La biosfera se ve muy afectada debido a las actividades humanas, por lo que para conservar la biosfera y mantener su ciclo, tenemos que reducir las actividades humanas que causan más daños a la biosfera.
