When two species compete for the same ecological niche, they cannot coexist because they are competing for the exact same resour

ces. One species is always slightly better adapted for the niche than the other, so over time the disadvantaged species will either go extinct or shift to a different ecological niche. This situation highlights the concept of _______. a. carrying capacity b. competitive exclusion c. limiting factor d. biotic factor

The correct answer is B. competitive exclusion.
This law refers to the fact that it is nearly impossible for two species to exist in the same place at the same time together, if they are interested in the same resources. If both species need the same thing to survive, one will have to be stronger while the other one will dwindle in number.

You experimentally change the DNA sequence directly upstream of a start codon of an operon in E coli to investigate the function
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Mutation occurred in ribosome binding site that serves as binding site for 30S ribosomal subunit of <em>E. coli</em> and allows the process of protein synthesis to begin.

Explanation:

The initiation of protein synthesis in bacteria requires binding of the ribosome to the ribosome binding site. The ribosome binding site in bacteria consists of the initiation codon "AUG" and the preceding Shine-Dalgarno sequence. The AUG initiation codon and Shine Delgrano sequence are around 10 bases apart.

The sequence is polypurine hexamer and is represented by 5' ...AGGAGG...3'. Shine-Delgrano sequence is complementary to the conserved sequence present at the 3' end of 16SrRNA of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome. Binding of Shine Delgrano sequence of ribosome binding site and the complementary sequence of the 30S ribosomal subunit marks the first step in the initiation of protein synthesis.

Any mutation in the ribosome binding site would not allow the process of protein synthesis to start or would reduce the rate of the initiation of protein synthesis.

Plant hormones act by directly affecting the activities of _____. genes enzymes signal transduction pathways genes and enzymes m
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Signal transduction pathways

Explanation:

Plant hormones act by directly affecting the activities of signal transduction pathways.

Signal transduction pathways are involved in the transfer of signals from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell for the regulation of various cellular activities. For this, the extracellular signalling molecules bind to the receptors that are located on the cell membrane. After their binding due to some change in the receptor molecule, a signal is triggered in to the cell and thus information from outside of the cell is transferred to the inside of the cell through these transduction pathways.

Plant hormones affect these pathways and as a result membranes, enzymes, and genes are also influenced by the plant hormones.

A researcher would like to determine the effect of caffeine on memory. Participants are randomly assigned to receive a caffeine
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The placebo effect

Explanation:

The placebo effect in psychology refers to a situation in which participants in a research receive beneficial effects due to the administration of an inactive substance or a sham treatment. The positive beneficial effect received can then be attributed purely to believe and not to the treatment itself. A placebo treatment could produce a real healing effect like a true medical or psychological treatment.

The participants who received the sugar believed it to be a memory enhancing treatment hence the slight increase in memory capacity due to placebo effect.

What are condensation nuclei?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Cloud condensation nuclei or CCNs are small particles typically 0.2 µm, or 1/100 the size of a cloud droplet on which water vapor condenses. Water requires a non-gaseous surface to make the transition from a vapour to a liquid; this process is called condensation.
