Anolis cristatellus and A. cooki are both trunk-ground anoles that live on Puerto Rico. A. cristatellus lives in a shady, forest

environment, while A. cooki lives in an open, sunny environment. What is an adaptive explanation for why the dewlap of one species evolved to be brighter and that of another species darker?

Answer:

The answer is for reproductive reasons.

Explanation:

The anolis cristatellus has a brighter dewlap and the anolis cristatellus has a darker dewlap. Their dewlap contrasts the brightness of their environment, most likely because it stands out more and attracts more female anoles.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is myofibrils

Explanation:

The fundamental part of the muscle cytoskeleton is made up of myofibrils that are the contractile elements of skeletal muscle cells.Muscle fibers are made up of myofibrils, membranes, and cytoskeletal networks that anchor contractile fibrils to the sarcolemma. Myofibrils are composed of repeating contractile units known as sarcomeres and are perhaps the most ordered macromolecular structures in eukaryotic cells. Myofibrils are made up of actin and myosin filaments that are large polymerized protein molecules responsible for actual muscle contraction.

In this assignment, you will use simulations to analyze how climate, resources, and habitat size affect
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Larger habitats support populations with higher carrying capacities. Higher quality habitats support populations with higher carrying capacities. There is no difference in population growth rate between large and small habitats. Some major threats to biodiversity are: Habitat destruction/Deforestation, Introduced and invasive species, Genetic pollution, Over exploitation, Hybridization, Climate change, Diseases, Human overpopulation. If abiotic or biotic factors change, the carrying capacity changes as well. Natural disasters can destroy resources in an ecosystem. If resources are destroyed, the ecosystem will not be able to support a large population. This causes the carrying capacity to decrease.  

Carrying capacity could be reduced if each individual within the species consumed less from the environment. Think about humans: if every human needs a four car garage and a large house, the planet can sustain fewer humans than if each human lived in a studio apartment and traveled using a bicycle. It would take 1.75 Earths to sustain our current population. If current trends continue, we will reach 3 Earths by the year 2050. It is beyond dispute that the modern industrial world has been able to temporarily expand Earth's carrying capacity for our species. As Nordhaus points out, population has grown dramatically (from less than a billion in 1800 to 7.6 billion today), and so has per capita consumption. Historically, habitat and land use change have had the biggest impact on biodiversity in all ecosystems, but climate change and pollution are projected to increasingly affect all aspects of biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture practices support integrating biodiversity in various ways including in terms of diversity of crops, traditional agriculture techniques to control pests and increase productivity as well as ensuring that farmed land is made up of a diverse mix of grazing land, crop land, orchards, wetlands and more.
