Answer: Population distributions may be described as random, uniform or clustered.

Explanation:

In a specified region, a population comprises any number of members of the same species. Populations are described by sizes- the number of individuals; densities- individuals in a set space (per unit area); and distribution- the dispersal or non dispersal of individuals (spread out or clumped). Population distributions may be described in three ways:

Random: the distribution pattern is haphazard, with no regular spacing; individuals grow independently of each other without competing and resources are consistent. E.g. dandelion seed dispersal by wind

Uniform: individuals are evenly spaced in a predictable pattern; there may be some interaction and ideally, spaces between them are maximized in order to ensure access to limited nutrients and resources. E.g. human farming- cornfields, orchards; allelopathy in plants like purple sage, which secretes chemicals to prevent the growth of other plants nearby

Clumped: there is less distance between neighboring organisms and these individuals cluster together. This pattern is most common in environments where resources are scarce, or the species is dependent on social interactions. E.g. lions are highly social and hunt in prides in the wild

Answer:

The three types of population distribution are uniform, random, and clumped.

Uniform distribution is rare. Individuals are evenly spaced and there is fierce competition for resources.

In random distribution, some individuals are close together, and some are spread apart. This occurs when there are sufficient resources available.

In clumped distribution individuals are clustered around patchy resources. This is the most common type of distribution.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Guanine

When DNA is extracted from E. coli cells and analyzed for base composition, it is found that 42% of the bases are cytosine. That means that there is also 42% of guanine base.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to chargaff's rule :

DNA from any cell of all organisms should have a 1:1 ratio (base Pair Rule) of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine.

If research is restricted, then the new discoveries made are limited. Which action is most likely to increase the number of disc

hram777 [196]

Answer: D. Increasing government funding of research

The increase of government funding or research will serve as a motivation to all scientists in order for them not to limit themselves on certain discoveries. Usually, financial problems are one of the reasons that discoveries are not not pushed through.

Use the balanced equation of a nitrogen cycle pathway below to support the conservation of matter and energy.

nadezda [96]

<h3>Answer and explanation;</h3>

According to the Law of conservation of mass; Mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. The law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of substances taking part in a chemical reaction is conserved during the reaction. For example in the equation;
N2 + 8 H --> 2 NH3 + H2
The number of hydrogen atoms and nitrogen atoms in the reactant side is equal to those on the product side.
Additionally; the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant, that is it can not be created or destroyed, rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

___ is in the intestines, liquid from the kidneys and pancreas mix with leftovers from the stomach. chamical or physical

Olin [163]

Answer: Chemical

Explanation:

Chemical is in the intestines, they are called Hydrochloric acid (HCl), and acts to break down food substances into absorbable form by cells.

Liquids are retained from the kidneys by the action of Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and mixes with the food leftovers to form excreta passed out of the rectum.
