Why are scientists concerned about species loss even though extinction is a natural process?

The extinction of species is a natural process. Over the time, multiple species have become extinct. The process of natural selection ensures that only the most adapted species continue on the Earth. However, when the extinction rate increases then it causes a disbalance. The extinction of one species will cause a sudden rise in the species of its prey and this will cause a disruption. Therefore, the scientists are worried about the loss due to extinction even though it is natural.

Because, when more species start to become extinct it disrupts the balance of the earth. For instance if spiders became extinct, the numbers of insects would exponentially grow. Which will become a problem for farmers, and more diseases  would most likely  occur.

When does the total number of chromosomes get reduced from 46 pairs to 23 individual chromosomes? View Available Hint(s) When do
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

23 pairs of chromosomes (46 individual chromosomes) are redued to 23 individual chromosomes in meiosis I.

During Meiosis I

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having half the number of chromosomes as in the parent cell. During meiosis, cell division occurs twice because before the two halves of a duplicated chromosome (sister chromatids) is separated, it still needs to separate homologous pair of chromosomes, which is a similar but non-identical pair of chromosomes received from both parent. Hence, meiosis occurs in a two step division process; Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Note that, a diploid cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes ( 46 chromosomes in total). Each pair of chromosome is from the haploid gamete produced by each parent after meiosis.

Before going into meiosis I, the cell must first undergo growth and replicate its DNA in the interphase stage just like in mitosis. In the Prophase I of meiosis I, chromosomes condense as in mitosis but also pair up. Each chromosome aligns with its homologue pair to form a structure called TETRAD or BIVALENT.

Homologous pairs, not individual chromosomes (23 pairs in number) line up at the metaphase plate for separation during metaphase I.

In anaphase I, the homologues are pulled apart by the spindle fibres and move apart to opposite ends of the cell. The sister chromatids of each chromosome, however, remain attached to one another and don't come apart. Hence, the cell now has 23 chromosomes on one side of the cell, and another 23 on the other side.

After cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm) in meiosis I, two daughter cells are produced and each now possesses 23 individual chromosomes (haploid) different from the parental 23 pairs (diploid).

N.B: Sister chromatids separate in the anaphase of meiosis II, where each chromatid is counted as an individual chromosome.

A behavior with both innate and learned components that is irreversible and is triggered during a sensitive period.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Imprinting.

Explanation:

Imprinting is a behavior that includes both innate components and learning components and normally can not be irreversible. It is something that takes place at a specific sensitive period.

For instance, ducklings follow their mother is imprinting that is both innate and learned at a limited phase after birth during development. It can be visual or auditory or other ways that an animal can develop imprinting.

Why are some secondary consumers carnivores,while others are omnivores
ivanzaharov [21]
Some other secondary consumers are carnivores and others are omnivores because they also eat both plants and meat. For example Human, human are secondary consumers, and human eat both plants and meat. There are also other animals that are considered as omnivores.
