Use the following description to answer the question(s) below. On the Bahamian island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live i

n various, now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united. Currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish that can swim in short, fast bursts; other predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish that can swim continuously for a long time. When placed together in the same body of water, the two kinds of female mosquitofish exhibit exclusive breeding preferences. Which two of the following have operated to increase divergence between mosquitofish populations on Andros? 1. improved gene flow 2. bottleneck effect 3. sexual selection 4. founder effect 5. natural selectio

Answer:

3. Sexual selection

5. Natural selection

Explanation:

Sexual selection is a type of natural selection wherein the individuals with reproductive advantages are selected as mate over the other individuals of the same gender.

Here, individuals exhibit variations in their reproductive success. In the given example, two different types of female mosquitofish differ from each other in their mate choices and prefer the males of the same species with some specific trait and exhibit sexual selection.  

Natural selection: Differential reproductive and survival success of some individuals of a population due to the presence of adaptive genetic traits is known as natural selection.

The mosquitofishes that are able to swim in fast bursts are favored by natural selection in the predator rich pond as they can escape the predators successfully. On the other hand, mosquitofishes living in predator-free ponds swim continuously as there are no predators in the same habitat.

Microorganisms can be defined as the organisms which are seen with the aid of microscope. This category includes the bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa and viruses. These microorganisms play an important role in the decomposition of the biological materials. The nutrients are also recycled by these microorganisms. the microorganisms bound in a soil serve this purpose. Moreover, the microorganisms, such as algae carry out the process of photosynthesis and make their own food.

Some of the microorganisms have complex relationships with different animals and plants both, which help in their survival.

Hence, the right options will be "carry out photosynthesis, decomposition, and nutrient recycling'.

Alecsey [184]
Surface water is warmer than deep-ocean water. The deeper you go into the ocean the colder it is. This is because the warmth from the sun cannot reach the water near the bottom of the ocean.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: A. protein like tubules

B. Microtubules

C. Microfilaments

Explanation:

Cytokinesis in the bacteria is facilitated by the presence of these conserved tubulin-like proteins. Due to the fact that their walls are flexible, constriction of these walls is possible aiding in cytokinesis. Unlike in plant that have rigid cell wall, a cell plate is involved in the formation of a new cell wall between the daughter cells. Network of microtubules determines the position of the cell plate which is mostly like a disc in the middle of the two daughter cells. Cleavage furrow occurs in animal cells which is caused by the action of the contractile ring: a ring of actin microfilament.
