In the late 1960s, robert paine conducted landmark studies on diversity in the rocky intertidal zone comparing the species diver

sity in control plots with diversity in experimental plots from which he removed the top predator, sea stars. after 5 years, 15 species of intertidal invertebrates lived in the control plots, while the experimental plots were dominated by only two species, one mussel and one barnacle. why did species diversity most likely remain high in the presence of a predator?

<span>The absence of the predator in the experimental plots led to a rise in population of the two species hence suppressing the other species since they were the prey of the Sea stars. But when the sea stars were present, they maintained a balance in the species diversity by feeding on Mussel and Barnacle species.</span>

Briefly describe how the experiments of Avery, McCarthy, and MacLeod, building on the work of Griffith?
satela [25.4K]
The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment<span> was an experimental demonstration, reported in 1944 by </span>Oswald Avery<span>, </span>Colin MacLeod<span>, and </span>Maclyn McCarty<span>, that </span>DNA<span> is the substance that causes </span>bacterial transformation<span>, in an era when it had been widely believed that it was </span>proteins<span> that served the function of carrying genetic information (with the very word </span>protein<span> itself coined to indicate a belief that its function was </span>primary<span>).

It was the culmination of research in the 1930s and early 20th Century at the </span>Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research<span> to purify and characterize the "transforming principle" responsible for the transformation phenomenon first described in </span>Griffith's experiment<span> of 1928: killed </span>Streptococcus pneumoniae<span> of the </span>virulent<span> strain type III-S, when injected along with living but non-virulent type II-R pneumococci, resulted in a deadly infection of type III-S pneumococci.

In their paper "</span>Studies on the Chemical Nature of the Substance Inducing Transformation of Pneumococcal Types: Induction of Transformation by a Desoxyribonucleic Acid Fraction Isolated from Pneumococcus Type III<span>", published in the February 1944 issue of the </span>Journal of Experimental Medicine<span>, Avery and his colleagues suggest that DNA, rather than protein as widely believed at the time, may be the hereditary material of bacteria, and could be analogous to </span>genes<span> and/or </span>viruses<span> in higher organisms.</span>

Help me in my hw ,An air bubble in a jar of water shines brightly.Why?Correct answer will get brainlest and thx but plz don't sp
Amanda [17]

Answer:

As the bubble is a spherical entity, the probability of total internal reflection from the watery films is high due to its curvature. As a result, most of the light rays get reflected and therefore the air bubble shines brightly with some sparkling in water
