Why does the presence of 22 large herbivore species at Mpala seem to contradict the competitive exclusion principle Dr. Pringle

described in his introduction
Biology

faltersainse [42]3 years ago
5 0

Dr. Pringle suggests that there's only very few large herbivorous species that can survive in certain area. The reason behind his claim is that according to him there will be only enough food for few large species, so there's natural limitations in the food sources, as there should be enough to support them in order for them to survive.

On the other hand, in Mpala, there's 22 large herbivorous species, which directly contradicts Dr. Pringle's hypothesis. The reason why so many large species of herbivores an survive in Mpala and always have enough food for all of them, is that they have all specialized in eating certain types of plants or parts of plants, thus they are not direct competition to one another, and there's always enough food for all of them.

How does the sexual life cycle of the human species introduce genetic variations?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

In humans, genetic variations are caused because humans reproduce by a sexual life cycle which is termed as meiosis. In such a life cycle, the offspring receives half the chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. Crossing over and  random assortment of chromosomes are two phenomenons which occur during meiosis. Due to these two phenomenons, genetic variations are caused.

During crossing over, the exchange of DNA segments between the homologous chromosomes takes place which brings about the genetic variations.

What is the first step in the life cycle of a plant that reproduces sexually?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be A sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell.

In sexually reproducing organisms including plants, life starts as a single-celled zygote which is formed by the fertilization of sperm and egg.

The zygote then divides through mitotic division to form an embryo.

After fertilization In angiosperms, the ovule matures to form seed and ovary matures to form fruit.

In gymnosperms, zygote develops into a new sporophyte.

In humans the genetic commonality of height and skin tone is that they are both
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

In humans the genetic commonality of height and skin tone is that they are both <u>Polygenic Traits.</u>

Explanation:

Polygenic traits can be described as those characteristics for which there is more than one gene to determine its inheritance. The outcomes of polygenic genes result in many differentiated phenotypes. For example, the difference in height, the difference in skin colour etc.

Polygenic traits occur because one allele for a gene does not have complete dominance over the other gene. This is termed as incomplete dominance. Incomplete dominance is a Non- Mendelian trait as Mendelian traits showed one allele to be completely dominant over the other allele.
