Density dependent would be the answer

Answer: density dependent  

Limiting factor is a resource or environmental condition which limits the growth, abundance or distribution of population of species in an ecosystem. A limiting factor can be living or non-living affecting the size of the population of species in an ecosystem. Density dependent limiting factor causes decline in population per capita growth with increasing population density. Density dependent limiting factors are mostly biotic (living) rather abiotic (non-living).

Density dependent limiting factor will affect a large population more than it affects a small population because of the following reasons:

1. Competition: When a population attains high density, the members of the population compete for available resources like food, shelter, water, mates and other resources required for survival and reproduction. The competition for resources will limit the members in the population.

2. Predation: Larger population may attract more number of predators. Therefore, density in this case will result in limitation in population size.

3. Disease: When more number of individuals living in the same locality, there are chances of transmittance of diseases, hence, will result in decrease in population.

4. Accumulation of waste: High population density can lead to accumulation of biological wastes, which can contaminate the living environment, hence can limit population size.

What happens to the speed of sound as it passes from gas to solid? Why?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Sample A

T= 21.3% and A= 21.3%

G=28.7% and C= 28.7%

SAMPLE B

T=28.7% and  A= 28.7%

G= 21.3% and C= 21.3%

Sample A would have higher melting temperature

Explanation:

According to given information, sample A contains 21.3% thymine.

Percentage of adenine in sample A= 21.3% (Since adenine base pairs with thymine, so, adenine and thymine are present in equal amount in a double stranded DNA)

Total of A+T in sample A= 21.3 + 21.3 = 42.6%

G+ C content of sample A= 100-42.6= 57.4%

Percent G content of sample A = 57.4/2 = 28.7%

Percent C content of sample A = 28.7%

SAMPLE B:

According to the given information, sample B contains 28.7% thymine.

Therefore, percent of Adenine base in sample B= 28.7%

Total of A+T content in sample B= 28.7 + 28.7 = 57.4%

G + C content of the sample B = 100-57.4= 42.6%

Percent G content of the sample B= 42.6/2= 21.3%

Percent C content of sample B = 21.3%

There are three hydrogen bonds between a GC pair while there are only two hydrogen bonds between AT pair. The DNA content with higher GC content has higher melting temperature. Therefore, sample A would have higher melting temperature.

Which disorder, diagnosed in the 1800s, was believed to be caused by a woman experiencing "wandering movements of the womb"?
HACTEHA [7]
A 2nd-century hysteria was caused by the belief that the uterus could move freely within the body in search of fluid and cause specific symptoms depending on the areas the uterus was displaced to. Called the wandering womb disorder, the womb was believed to be a living thing within a living thing.
