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.

padilas [110]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Mullis was able to imagine the outcome of carrying out a different process.

Explanation:

The technique of replicating the DNA artificially or in-vitro is known as the polymerase chain reaction or PCR was discovered by the Kary Mullis.

He was working in a Cetus company on synthesizing oligonucleotides and the detection of point mutation. One day while driving with his partner he went into an intellectual leap and thought about the concept which led to the development of the polymerase chain reaction techniques.

This is an example of creativity in a sense that he was able to think the result of a technique to synthesize new DNA by using opposed primers and repetition of denaturation, annealing and polymerization process will help amplify the DNA.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The answer to the enunciated: your employer lets you know that the safety data sheets are located on a computer in his office. Does this comply with employer responsibilities? is:- This act doesn't comply with the responsibilities of the employer.

Explanation:

The responsibilities of the employer are to guide the employed about the things in the company, of the sentence you can deduct two sceneries:

- The employed is in training in the company, the reason why the employer is saying to him where are the safety data sheets, but the correct would be to show the sheets and how function them.

- The safety data sheets are reserved for people with a high rank in the company, the reason why the employer must not say it to the employed.

1.Are spindle fibers present during telophase 1?
mina [271]

Answer:

During telophase nuclear membrane is formed, nucleolus appears and astral rays disappear.

During telophase, the effects of prophase and prometaphase - the nuclear membrane and nucleolus disintegrating are reversed. Two daughter nuclei form in each daughter cell, and phosphatases dephosphorylate the nuclear lamins at the ends of the cell, forming nuclear envelopes around each nucleus.
