The correct answer is A


Population density is an important parameter in ecology, livestock management and human demographic. When we calculate the number of individuals on a set area (meters, miles, kilometers) it can give us valuable information about the population dynamics and help us in spatial planning and conservational efforts.

In our example, there are 4500 bison living on 3472 square miles.

If we want to calculate the population density, or in other words, how many bison are there per one square mile we should divide the number of bison with the miles

\frac{number of bison}{size of the area} = population density\\\frac{4500}{3472} = 1,3

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "the S layer may play a role in protecting cells from viruses and predatory bacteria found in nature but not in laboratory cultures".

Explanation:

The S-layer (surface layer) is a part of the cell's envelope comprised of of identical proteins or glycoproteins that could be found in archaes and some bacterias in nature. The function of the S-layer is unknown, however the fact that is only seen in nature suggest that it may play a role in protecting cells from viruses and predatory bacteria found in nature but not in laboratory cultures. It is likely that archaes and bacteria synthesize the S-layer when they recognize viruses and predatory bacteria in nature, the S-layer is not synthesized in laboratory cultures because these pathogens are not present.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "disruptive selection".

Explanation:

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection at which extreme values for a trait are favored, while intermediate traits are more likely to disappear. In this example the finches tended to have either small beaks or large beaks because small beaks are best at eating soft seeds and large beaks are best at cracking seeds. This is an example of disruptive selection because the two extreme values for the size of beaks are favored.

After a rare fur color mutation occurred, a mice population evolved to have this new coat coloration (i.e. over many generations
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

predation

Explanation:

If the first coat color is black for example, the mice will be able to hide away in a dark area or corner, they will also be able to move around at night almost undetected. Changes in environment, such as development and introduction of street lighting may cause these mice to be easily seen by predators. These mice will quickly be eaten by predators now that they are accessible. On the other hand mice that have a different color such as white or grey will be able to blend in better with the new surroundings. These mice will pass along this trait to their progeny and the new coat color will proliferate.
