B) The growth rate decreases because not all butterflies will be nourished enough because of lack of supplies for the growing colony

Situation explanation:

So, the maximum capacity of monarch butterfly individuals that can live in the meadow is 5000. That means that the 20-butterfly population will continue growing (reproducing) until it reaches 5000.

Answer explanation:

If the population were to grow exponentially, there wouldn't be an end and the 5000-limit would not be respected.

If the population were to grow logistically, the end of the growth would be the same as the limit, which means that the 5000-limit would be respected.

--> Therefore, the only possible answer is D, which states that the population will reach 5000 and after that the growth will stabilise (exactly what would hapen in a logistic growth).

Hope it helped,

A researcher is studying gene expression in different types of cells. For a gene of interest, he notes its expression no longer
Darya [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) "Silencer".

Explanation:

Gene silencing is the regulation of a gene expression that results in avoiding the expression of a gene during a certain period of time. A silencer is a DNA sequence that produces gene silencing. In this example the researcher founds that a gene is not longer regulated in all cells and the gene is still transcribed and translated into protein. The mutation responsible of this it is likely to be occurring in a silencer, avoiding gene silencing of the studied gene in all cells.

Membrane receptors are used by which types of hormones?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Lipid insoluble hormones/Peptide hormones

Explanation:

Hormones produce their effect by binding to speific receptor. These receptors may be intracellular or membranal.

Membrane receptors;

The lipid insoluble hormones cannot cross the plasma membrane thus their receptors are found on plasma membrane. These are usually peptide hormones.

Examples; Insulin.

Intracellular receptors;

The lipid soluble hormones can cross the plasma membrane thus their receptors are found in cytoplasm. These are usually steroidal hormones.

Example; Testosterone.

How does cytokinesis differ in animal and plant cells? What is it called in each? Use a picture to help your explanation.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:Plants - cell wall forms.

Animals - cleavage furrow forms

Explanation:Cytokinesis occurs in mitosis and meiosis for both plant and animal cells. The ultimate objective is to divide the parent cell into daughter cells.

In plants , this occurs when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells.

In animals , this occurs when a cleavage furrow forms. This pinches the cell in half.
