Answer:

Vulvodynia

Explanation:

Vulvodynia is the medical term used to describe a chronic condition of long-lasting, severe pain around the vaginal orifice, which feels raw. Medically, the severe pain lasts for at least three months either constantly or occasionally. The pain could be generalized throughout the entire vulva or localized to a certain area of the vagina like the opening of the vagina.

Vulvodynia is usually doesn't have an identifiable cause, because it usually not traced to an infection.

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start
andrew11 [14]

Complete question:

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start. The wolves prey on the moose and eat well, allowing them to have abundant offspring. However, as the wolf population rises, the moose population drops, and over time, the wolf population begins to drop also because of the reduced availability of resources. As the wolf population drops, moose are able to better survive and reproduce, causing the moose population to rise. With this abundance of moose, the wolf population is able to rebound until their population exceeds the moose population’s ability to support the number of wolves. Which population dynamic does this series of oscillations represent?

  1. Delayed density dependence
  2. Delayed density independence
  3. Extinction vortex
  4. Carrying capacity

Answer:

  1. Delayed density dependence

Explanation:

The Delayed density dependence occurs when two species are in interaction (prey-predator or parasite-host), and the dynamic of each population follows the dynamic of the other population. The natality and mortality rates of one species follow the rates of the other species.

<em>Delayed density dependence dynamics regulate populations and allow the occurrence of equilibrium or balance in nature.</em>

<u>Predator-prey scenarios</u>

Assuming that the prey lives in the ideal environment with no predators, it shows an exponential growth rate. Prey can grow, develop, and reproduce, increasing its population size. The more available items, the more predator there will be. The predator population increase in size, and its presence affects the prey populations, leading it to decrease. So there are fewer available items to prey on.    

The prey population also affects the predator population. After the increase in the predator population size, the number of available prey decreases. The predator lives in an ideal environment but depends on the prey density. The more predators there are, the fewer prey there will be left. The predator population decreases exponentially due to the item's lack. The predation rate depends on density as well as natality and mortality rates.

So, to sum up,

  1. prey population increases in size
  2. predator population increases in size
  3. prey population decreases in size
  4. predator population decreases in size

In this particular example, the wolves population follows the moose population and vice-versa. It is not simultaneous. It happens with a delay.

<em>Moose influences the wolf population because they are their source of food. The more moose, the more wolves there are. The fewer moose, the fewer wolves there are. </em>

This is a density-dependent dynamic because both populations are affected when they reach a high value.

Suppose two independently assorting genes are involved in the pathway that determines fruit color in squash. These genes interac
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

100% yellow fruit color, Yyww.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • two independently assorting genes
  • the W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype
  • w allele codes for a colored squash
  • The allele Y codes for a dominant yellow phenotype
  • the allele y codes for a recessive green phenotype
  • The phenotypes from the first locus will always mask the phenotype produced by the second locus if the dominant allele (W) is present at the first locus. This masking pattern is known as dominant epistasis

Epistasis means "interruption" and refers to interactions between genes located in different loci in the same chromosome. An “epistatic gene” can alter, influence, or suppress the expression of a "hypostatic gene". When the epistatic gene is dominant, the interaction is known as "dominant epistasis".

W suppresses the expression of Y and y, this means that whenever W is present, the fruit is white. If W <u>is not</u> present, the fruit color can be expressed.

So, the proposed cross in the present problem occurs between a green fruited individual and yellow fruited individual, which suggests that W is absent.

<em>Genotype for Green fruit: yyww</em>

<em>Genotype for purebred Yellow fruit: YYww</em>

Cross:

Parental) YYww    x    yyww

Gametes) Yw  Yw  Yw  Yw  yw  yw  yw  yw

Punnet square)    Yw       Yw       Yw      Yw

                 yw    Yyww  Yyww  Yyww  Yyww

                 yw    Yyww  Yyww  Yyww  Yyww

                 yw    Yyww  Yyww  Yyww  Yyww

                 yw    Yyww  Yyww  Yyww  Yyww

F1) 100% Yellow fruited plants, Yyww

As these two genes assort independently, we can also represent the cross for each gene by separate, like this:

For w gene:

Parental) ww  x  ww

Gametes) w w w w

Punnet square)  w     w

                 w     ww   ww

                 w      ww  ww

F1) 4/4 or 100% colored-fruits

For Y gene:

Parental) YY  x  yy

Gametes) Y Y y y

Punnet square)  Y     Y

                 y     Yy     Yy

                 y     Yy     Yy

F1) 4/4 or 100% yellow fruits, Yy.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The phenomenon that explains the trend seen in the data is that the mosquitoes' evolution has led them to develop resistance to the compound.

Explanation:

This is a very common factor that we can see in insects. The effect of DDT on the species will have different levels of impact. One is going to be more vulnerable to the compound that the rest. However, after many times of exposition to the compound, a few survivors will develop resistance to the compound and their offspring is going to inherit that resistance. Making them increase the resistance over time.

What are short-lived climate pollutants?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Black carbon, tropospheric ozone, methane, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are all considered short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Because these pollutants have atmospheric lifetimes of only days to a decade and a half (compared to CO2 which can persist in the atmosphere for millennia) they are referred to as short-lived climate pollutants.
