A biologist studying alpine wildflowers notices that two populations of similar species are able to occupy the same niches. Howe

ver, species A is mostly found at lower altitudes, while species B is mostly found at higher altitudes. What has most likely caused the realized niches of these two wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches? A. Competition has restricted the ranges of both species. B. The species are involved in a mutualistic relationship. C. Species A is capable of growing faster than species B. D. Species B requires fewer resources than species A.

Answer:

Option A, Competition has restricted the ranges of both species

Explanation:

When two species which depend on the exactly same kind of resources, get into a mode where they prefer to stay in two different ecosystems without interfering each other’s circle and thus they get excluded from each other due to competition. This phenomenon of the ecosystem is called Competitive exclusion

According to Gause's Law of competitive exclusion two species which are competing for similar kind of resources are unable to stay together.  

Hence, option A is the correct choice.

Answer:

A. Competition has restricted the ranges of both species.

Explanation:

<em>The most likely cause of the realized niches of the two wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches is </em><em>competition</em><em>.</em>

The fundamental niche of an organism represents the entire resources and area an organism has given that there are no limiting factors within the environment.

The realized niche of an organism represents the resources available and the area an organism has due to limiting factors within the environment, especially competition for resources and spaces.

<em>The realized niche results from competition for resources within the fundamental niche. Hence, they are usually smaller than the fundamental niche of an organism.</em>

The correct option is A.

A plant population produces many seeds. that if a population of plants is currently 30 individuals, and rmax= 12 plants/month, t
LiRa [457]

Answer:

\frac{dN}{dt} = 14130

Explanation:

Logistic growth is a measure of continuous growth of a population of individuals in such an environment where the resources are limited. Such type of growth pattern has a characteristic growth curve which is S-shaped or sigmoidal.

The equation for logistic growth is as follows -

Change in population size = \frac {dN}{dt} = rN(K- \frac {N}{K})

Where,

N = size of population

r = intrinsic rate of increase

K = carrying capacity

The values of r, N and K are given in the question as 12, 30 and 40 respectively.

So,

\frac{dN}{dt} = 12 \times 30(40 - \frac{30}{40}) = 14130

What usually happens to the host’s DNA during the lytic cycle?
QveST [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A.It is destroyed.

Explanation:

The lytic cycle is considered as one of the two reproductive cycles that virus use for its reproduction (the other cycle is the lysogenic cycle).

This cycle results in the destruction of the host cell.

Bacteriophages (virus that infects bacteria)  use this cycle and referred as virulent phages.

There are basically five steps in this cycle -

Attachment of virus with the host cell membrane, penetration of the genome, which is followed by biosynthesis using host machinery, assembly of virus particles, and finally release, causing host cell destruction.

Thus, option A is the right answer.

Suppose there are 500 units of energy available at the producer level of the energy pyramid. Approximately how many units of ene
shusha [124]
The answer to this question with the options presented in the problem would be A. 50.

It is said by experts that in the energy pyramid, 90% of energy is lost for life processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and the like. So this means that only 10% will remain for the consumer to have. That would be saying that if suppose there are 500 units of energy available at the producer level of the energy pyramid, to get the units of energy available to the first-level consumer is  to have the 10% of 500 which is 50.
