In the area with the largest sea lamprey population, a few things are done to reduce and control this population. Lampricide, Currently, the primary method to control sea lampreys utilizes a lampricide, called TFM, that kills sea lamprey larvae in streams with little or no impact on other fish.   Barriers,Barriers have been constructed to block the upstream migration of spawning sea lampreys; most barriers allow other fish to pass with minimal disruption. Barriers have eliminated lampricide treatment on some streams and reduced the stream distance requiring treatment on others. The Sterile-Male-Release-Technique, The sterile-male-release-technique aims to reduce the success of sea lamprey spawning. Each year male sea lampreys are collected and sterilized. When they are released back into streams the sterile males compete with normal males for spawning females. Lastly trapping, Sea lamprey traps are operated at various locations throughout the Great Lakes, often in association with barriers. Traps are designed to catch lampreys as they travel upstream to spawn.

Provide a summary of Professor Steve Jones’ findings concerning how Natural Selection may be working today in humans.
lesya [120]

Answer:

John Stephen Jones states that in evolution it is necessary to have into account three factors: natural selection, mutation, and random variation.

Explanation:

These three mechanisms influence evolution and they are responsible for generating phenotypic diversity that is observed in humans.

I recommend to read his article (chapter book):

Jones, JS. (2012). Is Human Evolution Over?. In Evolution 2.0 (pp. 167-176). Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg.

Cell Transport and Homeostasis essay
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

cell transport or membrane transport helps in the transport of solute molecules and ion across the plasma membrane and helps in maintaining homeostasis of these molecules in the biological system.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is very very important to maintain a steady body physiology and the maintenance of steady body physiology is highly significant because any type of disturbance in the homeostasis can leads various physiological abnormalities.

         Various membrane transport process such as osmosis helps in the movement of water from high concentration region to the region of low water concentration until equilibrium is reached.Thus osmosis helps to maintain water homeostasis in our body.

    By the same way glucose transporter maintain the homeostasis of glucose inside our body.

Where would higher levels of potential evapotranspiration occur on an average?
atroni [7]
Potential evapotranspiration is higher in the summer, on less cloudy days, and closer to the equator, because of the higher levels of solar radiation that provides the energy for evaporation. Evapotranspiration is the sum of evaporation and plant transpiration from the Earth's land and ocean surface to the atmosphere. Evaporation accounts for the movement of water to the air from sources such as the soil, canopy interception, and water bodies. Transpiration accounts for the movement of water within a plant and the subsequent loss of water as vapor through stomata in its leaves.
