The answer is competition. 

Competition is an interaction between organisms. If resources, such as food, water, sunlight, territory, are limited and several species depend on these resources, then, they must compete with other species to gain the resources. So, if predators are present, this means that they will maintain the size of prey population on some optimal level. With fewer individuals in the population, there will be less competition for resources.
Therefore, <span>In natural ecosystems, the presence of predators lessens the effects of <u>competition</u> among the prey.</span>

How do traits within a population change over time?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Evolution is a process that results in changes in the genetic material of a population over time. Evolution reflects the adaptations of organisms to their changing environments and can result in altered genes, novel traits, and new species.

Which best illustrates how Gregor Mendel used creativity that lead to scientific discovery?O He noticed that traits were passed
Svet_ta [14]
<span>As I know Gregor Mendel - Austrian naturalist, botanist and a religious leader, a monk, founder of the doctrine of heredity (Mendelism). By applying statistical methods for the analysis of results of the hybridization of pea varieties, formulated the laws of heredity. In 1856, Mendel began his experiments in crossing different varieties of peas, differing in a single, strictly defined criteria (for example, the shape and color of seeds). Precise quantitative account of all types of hybrids and statistical processing of the results of experiments that he conducted for 10 years, allowed him to formulate the basic laws of heredity - the splitting and combining of hereditary "factors". Mendel showed that these factors are separated and not crossing merge and disappear. Although the crossing of two organisms with contrasting features (for example, yellow or green seeds) in the next generation of hybrids appears only one of them.</span>

Sheath of schwann cell containing cytoplasm and nucleus that encloses myelin. True or False
chubhunter [2.5K]

The given question is not about true/false. The correct question is:

Question: Sheath of schwann cell containing cytoplasm and nucleus that encloses myelin.......

Answer:

Neurolemma

Explanation:

Schwann cells are one of the two types of neuroglia that produce myelin sheaths. Schwann cells produce the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system. These cells produce the myelin sheaths around axons during fetal development. During the process, several layers of the glial plasma membrane surround the axon. The Schwann cell’s cytoplasm and nucleus form the outermost layer. On the other hand, the inner part is composed of multiple layers of Schwann cell membrane and is called the myelin sheath. The outer nucleated cytoplasmic layer of the Schwann cell that encloses the myelin sheath is called the neurolemma.

Explain why Huntington disease is caused by a dominant allele.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

The huntington disease is a disease that is caused by the dominent allele. It is the disease which causes damage to the brain cell. The mother and father can be carrier or affected by the disease. As in the condition if both parents exhibit a hetrozygous condition that is both have a dominent as well as as a recessive allele responsible for the disease. Then there is 75% chances of occurence of disease in the child. If both parents are homozygous that is both have dominent alleles then 100% chances of occurrence of the disease.

Explain the process of cross-pollination.
Anna007 [38]

Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen of different species to stigma of different species of plants.

Cross pollination results in healthy, viable and diverse plants.

Mendel observed that traits could either be dominant or recessive.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance is the condition in which dominant allele could not produce its trait alone instead blending with recessive allele takes place giving new phenotype to progeny.

Explanation:

In cross pollination pollen transfer takes place from anthers to stigma. In Mendelian genetics the anthers of the plant was removed because it has both male and female parts on same plant so that self pollination does not take place.

The importance of cross pollination is that it creates diversity in the plant species since the traits having different alleles are combined to form the progeny plant. The offspring are healthier and high quality seeds are found.

Mendel observed that traits are either dominant or recessive in general.  It was observed that when homozygous parents were crossed, the progeny in F1 generation always had dominant trait. The recessive trait only appeared when F1 generation offspring were self pollinate.

Blended traits or incomplete dominance appear when alleles get blended and exhibit the traits in phenotype. The phenotype appeared will not be matching with either parents.

The example is a white coloured flower is crossed with red colour flower the resultant colour of the flower is pink. It shows that dominant allele red is not completely dominant and gets blended with white colour.
