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>

Mendel used over 28,000 pea plants in his experiment. How does this large
IgorC [24]

Answer with Explanation:

The large sample size allowed Gregor Mendel to make comparisons quantitatively. The <em>"margin of error"</em> is narrower and it allowed him to<em><u> detect statistically significant results</u></em> through its statistical power.<em> Large sample sizes have a greater statistical power.</em> However, it takes a lot of t<em>ime, effort and money.</em> Mendel was very persistent and had the driving force. This allowed him to develop the<em> "Three Principles of Inheritance." </em>

A smaller sample size doesn't give a significant difference because the samples are quite random. This has a<em> tendency to mask the result.</em>

What activity led to the formation of Grand Canyon
Dahasolnce [82]
Weathering and erosion played a big role in forming the grand canyon. The rock was being weathered, most likely mechanical weathering, and then it eroded away. Think of a pebble that is in running water. When you pick it up, it is smooth, right. But before, it was pointy. So, the grand canyon was once a big rock, and weathering broke through it making it one of the wonders of the USA.

How do you tell if a dog is pregnant?
nasty-shy [4]
During the first 2-3 weeks you will not see any physical signs. Look at your dog's nipples, for if it is pink, that may be an indication. Be sure to observe your dog's body and it's weight.
