Two species of shorebirds are both adapted to live in coastal marshes. One species outcompetes the other for the small fish that
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

Explanation:

According to the Competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as Gause's Law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

As we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

Coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when One species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. Eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

Hope it help!

A daughter has hemophilia a recessive sex-linked what are the possible genotypes of her parents
marishachu [46]

Answer:

If a female child has hemophilia it is possible that the mother is a carrier of the hemophilia gene and the father has hemophilia.

Explanation:

  • A daughter gets X chromosome from both her parents.
  • It is generally seen in males.
  • Hemophilia is generally recessive in females.They act as carriers of hemophilia. This occurs because they have a X chromosome that dominates the hemophilia affected gene that they inherit from any parent.
  • But, if both the parents have faulty genes ,i.e the mother is the carrier of the gene and the father is hemophiliac, then the chances are the daughter has hemophilia too.

A swimmer sprints a short distance for a competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed fo
Reptile [31]

When the swimmer is unable to take in enough oxygen for the sprint, the ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) will be compromised. In such conditions, the body will use anaerobic respiration to produce the ATP. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It used the electron acceptors in place of the oxygen in the respiratory cycle. The amount of the ATP produced is, however, less in anaerobic respiration.

Hence, the answer is 'Option C - Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen'.

Darker skin is more prevalent in high-UV areas. Dr. Nina Jablonski proposed a hypothesis to explain the selective pressure for d
skad [1K]

The answer is; the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects DNA from UV radiation, and UV radiation can cause skin cancer

In Africa, due to its equatorial latitude location, receives direct sunlight at more or less 90 degrees most of the year. These highly concentrated rays increase the UV radiation exposure  that can cause damage to cell DNA. Selection pressure, therefore, favored individuals with high melanin concentrations that protect against UV. Therefore population evolved towards high melanin densities in the skin.
