Tropical leafcutter ants collect leaf cuttings which they transport to special underground chambers. There, the ants chew the le

aves to create nursery beds on which the ants grow a species of fungus they use for food. When ant queens disperse to establish new colonies, they carry the fungus with them, dispersing it as well (this benefits the fungus). In the ants' new nests, the fungus is at risk of being destroyed by another fungal species that is able to grow in the habitat, using the same limited resources. On their bodies, the ants carry and provide a home for bacteria that produces antibiotics the ants use to kill the newly encountered fungus and thereby protect their food supply. In this system, the relationship between the leafcutter ants and their fungal food species is:a. mutualism. b. interspecific competition. c. parasitism. d. commensalism. e. predation.

When one species looks harmful or unpalatable?
Fudgin [204]
Batesian mimicry is when an organism uses colors or symbols that other organisms regard as dangerous. These organisms use their scary appearance to appear as more of a threat than they really are, such as the viceroy butterfly, which looks like a poisonous monarch but is actually harmless.

Compare a natural meadow with a cornfield in terms of biodiversity. in your answer, be sure to address the: • number of species
Mademuasel [1]

In a cornfield, only one plant species has dominated the area, that is the corn plant. While in a natural meadow, multiple species of plants occurs of different species. The presence of the different types of plants in the meadow will interact more number of insects in it as compared to the corn field. This will lead to more interactions among the different species in a natural meadow. The greater biodiversity of the natural meadow than the cornfield will support it better.

In case of any natural disaster, or a pest attack, all the plants will be killed in a corn field and so will the insects dependent on them, but in a natural meadow, if one plant species is killed by a natural disaster, other will still be alive. Hence, the ability to survive is greater in natural meadow.

Naily [24]
F) ...TAAT...
...ATTA...
Single depurination event occurred in the GC base pair of the sequences so find the C in the 1st sequence & find the G in the 2nd sequence. These are not repaired, so the C & G are eliminated. Then 2 rounds of replication occur in the same spots where the C & G were. Take the letter previous to the empty spots & replicate it in the empty spots. TAAT. ATTA

Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Which statement about neural reflex arcs is incorrect? Their function is
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The incorrect statement is that the neural reflex arc becomes slow by the hormones involved.

Explanation:

A neural pathway that controls a reflex is known as a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, the sensory neuron transmits a signal to the interneuron and stimulates it. The interneuron then transmits or passes the signal to the next neuron, that is, a motor neuron. The motor neuron associates with the interneurons in the spinal cord, which transmits messages from the CNS to the body. Thus, a reflex arc comprises the elements, that is, the receptor, integrating center, and the effector. Their main activity is to protect the body from external events.
