A particular bird species found in North America obtains most of its food energy by catching and eating insects. A mutation aris

es in this bird population that increases the length of its beak. Although many mutations are harmful, this particular mutation has increased the ability of the bird to catch and eat certain insects. Which of these is the MOST LIKELY outcome of this mutation? A) The insects that are eaten by this bird are likely to become extinct. B) Sharp pointed beaks will result in the birds eating other more unusual food items. C) Other bird species will be more likely to also develop pointed beaks in order to compete. D) Individual birds with the mutation will be more likely to survive and reproduce than birds without the mutation.

The answer is D- Individual birds with the mutation will be more likely to survive and reproduce than birds without the mutation.

This is called Natural Selection.

The intermediate disturbance hypothesis predicts that species diversity will be highest  when the frequency and/or intensity of disturbances are intermediate

Explanation:

The diversity of the species is maximised at an intermediate near of anthropogenic as well as natural disturbances. As the competitively inferior disturbances are being tolerated for species disturbance and are termed to be dominant. Co exist of the sensitive species when the disturbance are either frequent or rare, which possess the reduced level of the disturbances. the productivity is predicted as very less due to competitive exclusion. As the disturbances increases productivity becomes less as most of them unable to sustain the regular destructive occurrence. So with the intermediate disturbances productivity is high as the rapid colonizers and dominant competitors are able to coexist.

Predict the most likely outcome of culturing transformed E. coli in the presence of tetracycline.Justify your prediction.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

E.coli is a bacterium which is preffered for transformation due to its rapid growth and high efficiency of introduction of DNA molecules into cells.

Tetracycline is an antibiotic used to treat several infections such as cholera, plague, brucellosis, and malaria etcetra.

Plasmid is a small, extrachromosomal DNA molecule present in cell which is seprated from chromosomal DNA and have ability to replicate independently.

When a plasmid resistant to tetracycline and kanamycine is inserted into E.coli, the process is called transformation. E.coli might not be able to survive due to absence of plasmid but the transformed strains having antibiotic tetracycline and kanamycine will probably be able to survive it.

Hence, the culture of bacteria carrying plasmid will be able to survive only.

As our global population rises; so does our appetite for protein. Our meat consumption habits take a serious toll on the environ
Volgvan
<h3>Meat consumption and environment</h3>

Explanation:

Increase in population rises protein demand. Many people meet their dietary protein requirements mainly from animal sources by consumption of meat and meat products like meat, eggs, and processed meat products.

Increased meat consumption leads to increase in global warming. Increased meat consumption raises the demand for meat and animal farming like cattle, poultry and fish farming.

Farm animals release methane through their waste into the environment. Methane is one of the most potential greenhouse gases that cause global warming.  

Animal farming practices requires a lot of water and hence depletes natural water sources. Moreover, the effluent drainage from farmlands pollutes the land as well as natural ground water sources with methane and other pollutants including pathogens and renders the natural sources unusable.

Further, farm animals like cows and goats grazes farmlands and destroys the green cover which helps in carbon sequestration.
