You are traveling across the Pacific Ocean when you come across a small island, island #1. There is lush vegetation and several

species of beetles that vary in the color of their carapace. The colors you find are green, blue, purple, and black. A second island 200 miles closer to the mainland (island #2) is mostly sand with some palm trees and has a single species of beetle that has a brown carapace. You examine the colored beetles and discover that they are all related and that they are related to the brown species on the second island. Which of the following is the most likely scenario?
(a). The brown beetle migrated to island #1 and gave rise to the colored species on island #2 through adaptive radiation.
(b). The colored species of beetle on island #1 migrated to island #2 and gave rise to the brown beetle through extinction.
(c). The brown beetle evolved from the colored beetles on island #1 and then migrated to island #2.
(d). The brown beetle gave rise to all of the colored beetles on island #2 which then migrated to island #1.
(e). A beetle of some undetermined color gave rise to all of the colors of beetle brown, green, purple, and black and they then migrated to different islands.

Answer:

The correct answer is (a). The brown beetle migrated to island #1 and gave rise to the colored species on island #2 through adaptive radiation.

Explanation:

As there are no brown beetles on the island 1, and island 2 has less biodiversity of plants, it's possible to think that the brown beetle migrated to island 1 where there are many kinds of different plants, which would lead to the adaptation of these organisms resulting in many different species.

After DNA replication, __________. See Section 6.2 (Page 116) . After DNA replication, __________. See Section 6.2 (Page 116) .
ozzi

Answer:

each of the two daughter DNA molecules contains one strand from the original DNA molecule and one newly synthesized strand.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a semi-conservative process. The two parental DNA strands are separated from each other by the action of helicases. The separated DNA strands serve as the template. Primase enzyme forms primers which are elongated by DNA polymerase enzymes. These enzymes elongate the primer by the addition of deoxynucleotides complementary to the sequence of the template DNA strand.

Therefore, DNA replication forms two DNA double helices from one parental DNA molecule. Each of the daughter DNA molecules contains one parental DNA strand and one newly formed DNA strand making the process semi-conservative.

Which of these is a technique used in forest management, farming, prairie restoration or greenhouse gas abatement where a fire i
Dafna11 [192]
This is called 'controlled' or 'prescribed' burning. Usually fires in the environment are regarded as undesirable and dangerous, but fires actually fulfil an important ecological role, and animals and plants had adapted to a certain frequency and intensity of fires. The seeds of some trees or grasses germinate after forest or grass fires, as the more open conditions after a fire allows the seedlings to compete and avoid being shaded and smothered by more established trees. Unfortunately, farming and forestry practices have in many cases resulted in a reduction of fires. A reduction in the frequency of fires also allows the build up of dead wood, and when a wild fire does occur, the amount of available fuel results in very hot, large and damaging fires. Therefore, management of forests and other environments such as prairies often use controlled burns to avoid the buildup of dead organic mass and to replicate the natural fire cycle.
