Answer:

b. the interaction of food availability and predation intensity

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

What best explains snowshoe hare and lynx population cycles?

a. the seasonal trends in food availability

b. the interaction of food availability and predation intensity

c. natural variation in the number of lynxes born

d. the population density of snowshoe hares

  • The population of snowshoe hare and lynx are closely linked to each other and this is because the primary food of lynx is the snowshoe hare.
  • When the number of hares is more lynx eat more of hares and less of other food and when the number of hares is scarce, lynx eat alternate food.
  • However, in the scarcity of hares, the other foods do not provide lynx with their nutritional needs and therefore, many of them leave their home grounds.
  • Therefore, when the hare number declines lynx number also declines.
  • The population cycle spans over 8-11 years.
  • The number of hares decreases at the end of the cycle and so does the number of lynx.
  • However, at the beginning when the number of the hare is more, they starve due to competition and are easily caught by the lynx and thus, the lynx population also increases.

(Q002) Review the vertebral column and individual vertebrae from Exercise 3 (p. 166 of your lab manual). What similarities and d
Alexandra [31]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The biggest similarity between the main types of vertebrae is the location where they are found since they are all established on the body's back, precisely on the midline of the back. The main differences, on the other hand, are related to the size and weight of each of them.

2. The similarities exist because all the vertebrae have to promote the support of the body, the back being the most appropriate place for them to establish themselves.

3. The differences are related to the function and type of support that each vertebrae promotes, the higher the level of systemization, the larger and thicker the vertebrae must be.

4. The caudal vertebrae should be similar to the vertebrae of the coccix, since a tail would be a representation of elongation of the coccix. We can reach this conclusion through the analysis of images that promote the visualization of this area of the body.

What is the relationship between DNA replication and growth if an organism
VMariaS [17]
A DNA replication is when you replicate someone's DNA, which is not possible yet, because everyone's DNA strand is different.  But the growth of an organism is just the reproduction of cells growing into fully functioning ones.

nataly862011 [7]

The correct answer is A. Lac repressor.

Lac repressor prevents lac gene which are found in the DNA of Escherichia Coli from being expressed for many times.

Lac repressor is termed as DNA which binds proteins. It allows the expression of genes from coding which are made for proteins to be involved in metabolism of lactose which is in bacteria.

When there is no lactose which is available in the cell, then the genes are being repressed. Lactose are being converted to allolactose if they are available.

How quickly does the process of excretion occur in plants?
beks73 [17]

Plants produce two gaseous waste products i.e. oxygen during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide during respiration. Excretion of gaseous waste in plants takes place through stomatal pores on leaves. ... Excess of water is also excreted from the plant body through the stomatal pores and from the surfaces of fruits and stems.
