In the case of two competing barnacle species, the larger species Semibalanus is able to eliminate individuals of the smaller sp

ecies Chthamalus through interference competition over its entire fundamental niche by overgrowing or dislodging them as they grow larger. Which of the following could be an explanation (reasonable hypothesis) that is sufficient to fully explain why Chthamalus evades competitive exclusion within the high-tide zone? Select one: a. The fundamental niche of Semibalanus extends over the entire tidal zone (both high and low-tide). b. Semibalanus is outcompeted by Chthamalus in the high-tide zone. c. The high-tide zone is outside the range of tolerance for Semibalanus. d. Chthamalus is competitively excluded in the low-tide zone. e. The fundamental niche of Chthamalus extends over the entire tidal zone (both high and low-tide).

Answer:

C. The high-tide zone is outside the range of tolerance for Semibalanus.

Explanation:

Semibalanus can out-compete Chthamalus by crowding or smothering, but Chthamalus can occupy higher tide levels than Semibalanus because it is more resistant to desiccation.

The fundamental niche of Chthamalus includes both the upper and middle intertidal zones. - The realized niche of a species is a subset of the fundamental niche, limited by biotic interactions such as competition. The realized niche of Chthamalus is the upper intertidal zone only.

m_a_m_a [10]

➜ <u>Mendel conducted breeding experiments with garden peas</u>:

[i] He studied plants (pure) of a tall/short varities.

[ii] He crossed them and obtained F1 progeny.

[iii] He found that F1 progeny was all tall plants.

[iv] He selfed the (hybrid) plants if F1 progeny.

[v] He found that in F2 progeny there were tall as well as short plants.

[vi] The three quarter plants were tall and one quarter was short.

(or any other contrasting character may be taken).

<u>Note</u>: Here, F1 means <u>First fillial generation</u> and F2 means <u>Second fillial generation</u>.

Small, oddly shaped bones that fill gaps between bones of the skull are called
netineya [11]
I think they are called Sutural. Intra sutural bones also known as the wormian bones are extra bone pieces that occur within a suture (a joint) in the cranium. They are irregular isolated bones that appears in addition to the usual centers of ossification of the cranium and they are not rare bone despite being unusual.

1. what is the difference between  facts theory and hypothesis
ioda

Answer:

1. Fact: Observations about the world around us. Example: “It’s bright outside.”

Hypothesis: A proposed explanation for a phenomenon made as a starting point for further investigation. Example: “It’s bright outside because the sun is probably out.”

Theory: A well-substantiated explanation acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation. Example: “When the sun is out, it tends to make it bright outside.”

3. As a field of science, biology helps us understand the living world and the ways its many species (including humans) function, evolve, and interact. Advances in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, and many other areas of biology have brought improvements in the quality of life.

5. Its the ending answer/result of the experiment.

this is what i could get, sorry its not all of them
