Kettle ponds derive from a hole left by a retreating glacier that is subsequently filled with rainwater. A certain region has a

series of disconnected kettle ponds, but occasionally heavy rains flood them and create streams. Which type of animal is most likely to be present in this area as a metapopulation?

Options are:

A.  a fish

B.  an aquatic bird

C.  a mosquito

D.  a dragonfly

Answer: Fishes

Explanation:

A metapopulation can be defined as a small population that cannot itself make a large population that is stable.Many sub populations are connected intermittently to combine and form a population.

Small population of fishes would have been separated for most of the years and are joined by when floods occur and these populations are connected by kettle ponds.

Rest of the three organism like bird, mosquito and dragon fly cannot be separated so as to form a metapopulation.

How do different animals get the energy they need to live?
Natali5045456 [20]
Some animals eat veggies some eat meat, some eat both. There is also the fact that the larger the animal is the more it has to eat to get the same nutrients. Like how the lower you are on the food chain the less you have to eat but the higher you get the more you have to eat.

Explain how a carbon atom in a CO2 molecule in the air can become part of a cellulose molecule in a plant
Kay [80]
Your carbon atom enters the leaf as CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere. <span>In the leaf, chlorophyll uses the energy from the sun to convert CO2 and H2O to the sugar glucose, C6H12O6. Your carbon atom is part of this molecule; it is now one of the carbons in the glucose. </span>
<span>Next, the glucose carrying your carbon atom is sent down the phloem tissue of the carrot plant to the root, which is the carrot itself. </span><span>Enzymes in the carrot root connect the glucose molecule with your carbon atom into a chain with other glucose molecules, forming cellulose, or plant starch, and there you go. Your carbon atom went from being part of an atmospheric gas to a starch via photosynthesis and starch formation in the root. </span>

C) One plant with genotype YySs is crossed with another plant with the same genotype. Use the Punnett
Volgvan

Answer:

(See Attached Punnet Sq)

Explanation:

There are two genes here represented different alleles (Yy & Ss). According to Mendelian law, the principle of independent assortment applies to mean each allele has equal chances of ending up in a gamete. Therefore each gamete can have either allele of the two genes as shown in the punnet square. The combinations of the offspring are therefore numerous.

B. A family of foxes arrived on the island after the rabbits were released. No
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The carrying capacity is affected by dense dependent and dense independent factors. 1) During the fourth year. 2) Negative impact. K decreased from 200 to 100 rabbits.  

<h3>What is carrying capacity?</h3>

Carrying capacity -K- is the capability of the environment to support a growing population.

It is a constant that coincides with the population size at which natality and mortality rates are equal. This is the equilibrium point.

Commonly, environments have limited resources, and as the population grows, resources are consumed faster, leading to an increase in the competition rate.

Per capita growth rate decreases as population size, N, increases.

  • If the N < K, the population can still grow.

• When N approximates to K, the population's growth speed decreases.

• When N = K, the population reaches equilibrium,

• When N > K, the population must decrease in size because there are not enough resources to maintain that size.

The carrying capacity might be affected by limiting factors, which might be

  • density dependent (for example, competition, predation, etcetera)
  • density independent. This last case refers to dense-independent factors, among which we can mention human impact or natural disasters (fires, volcanic eruption, flooding).

In the exposed example, when referring to rabbit's carrying capacity, we can assume it is limmited by intraspecific competition and by predation.

  • <u>Population size </u><u>between the 1st and 2nd years</u>

At first we can see that during the first two years, the number of rabbits increased until it was a little bit over 200 individuals.

  • <u>Population size </u><u>between the years 2, 3 and 4</u>

During the second, third, and fourth year, the number of rabbits was kept around 200 individuals, which leads us to assume that K = 200 rabbits.

  • <u>Population size </u><u>the fourth year</u>

However, in the fourth year, there was a sharp decrease in the number of rabbits. Probably this event was due to the arrival of foxes (predators) on the island.

  • <u>Population size</u><u> after the fourth year</u>

In the presence of foxes, the number of rabbits varied around 100 (K = 100).

According to this information, we can assume that only intraspecific competition (related to resources) had a significant role during the first years.

But with the foxes' arrival, the rabbits' carrying capacity decreased from 200 to 100, meaning that, during the following years, predation strongly influenced the rabbits' carrying capacity.  

<em>1) During what year did the foxes most likely arrive? </em>

During the fourth year

<em>2) How did the arrival of the fox family impact the carrying capacity of the rabbit population on this island? </em>

Foxes had a negative impact on the foxes' carrying capacity. It decreased<u> from k = 200 to k = 100 </u>since the foxes arrival to the island.
