Which of the following is a good predictor of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems?

Biology
1 answer:
finlep [7]3 years ago
4 0

The correct answer is - predator species in a community.

In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.

The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.

If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.

In poultry, black is dominant to white, but the heterozygote is blue. If you consistently
balu736 [363]

Answer:

indeterminate

Explanation:

The answer would be <u>an indeterminate number of generations.</u>

The blue trait is a heterozygous trait. In other words, the blue allele does not really exist. Two different alleles team up to produce the trait, whereas, only two the same allelic conditions can produce a true-breeding flock.

<em>Hence, it will take an indeterminate number of generations to produce a true-breeding flock of the Blue Andalusions.</em>

Why are the senses necessary for behavior?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Stimuli must be sensed in order to respond.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning can be defined as a learning process which typically involves repeatedly pairing two stimuli: conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus.

Simply stated, it is a learning procedure that helps us to understand when a neutral stimulus is paired with a conditioned response.

An example is the process of salivating in response to the aroma of a meal being prepared in the kitchen.

Also, operant conditioning can be defined as an associative learning process which involves reinforcing the strength of a behavior.

Stimulus in biology can be defined as an obvious change in either the chemical or physical structure of an organism' environment (either external or internal). Thus, all living organisms (both animals and plants) respond to changes in their environment and consequently, an appropriate response or reaction is made. Also, stimulus arising from within the organism is known as internal stimulus while those from its environment are known as the external stimulus.

In organisms, the specialized cells that detect stimulus are generally known as sensory receptors while a group of these receptors is referred to as sense organ.

Hence, the senses are necessary for behavior because stimuli must be sensed in order to respond.
