A geneticist is studying sexual reproduction of a species of butterfly that lives in a very cold climate. He hypothesizes that t

here should be low genetic diversity because it is well adapted to the cold climate but does not seem to be able to colonize surrounding areas with warmer climates. What important principle is he using to formulate his hypothesis?

Answer:

It is a stenotopic species.

Explanation:

Stenotopic species are well adapted to specific environmental conditions. Stenotopic species can't colonize new environments because they are adapted to a narrow range of environmental conditions. On the other hand, the eurytopic species can survive and reproduce in a wide range of environments.  

In this case, the geneticist has used a hypothetico-deductive framework, where this butterfly was distinguished by species boundaries based on its sampling distribution.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The continental plate is the  location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.

If you monitored energy allocation in an adult penguin for just a few months instead of an entire year, you might find the growt
Dmitrij [34]
<h2>Energy allocation in penguin</h2>

Explanation:

  • Although penguins don't grow from year to year, they increase and decrease in size as they repeatedly form and use energy stores,a significant amount of energy might be stored in fat during part of the year but be missing from the pie chart because it is used later in the year  
  • Allocation of limited endogenous resources causes trade-offs between competing traits, such as reproduction, somatic growth and maintenance
  • During food deprivation, animals cannot maximize all of their life-history traits and must exhibit adaptive behavioral, physiological and biochemical responses to reduce metabolism and/or the cost of current activities in order to maintain biological value
