hich best describes the carrying capacity of an environment? An area of a desert can support a population of 320 cactus plants.

Over 1,500 species of birds live in a tropical rain forest. About 500 fish in part of a river died as a result of water pollution. A vegetable garden is six feet long and 10 feet wide

Answer:

Option A, An area of a desert can support a population of 320 cactus plants

Explanation:

The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum number of organism that can live with in it thereby utilizing its resources and doesn't cause any harm to the ecosystem.

Here in the given options, Option C and D are irrelevant as they do not talk any thing about the ecosystem's carrying capacity.

In Option B, it is said that 1500 bird species currently live in tropical rain forest, but there might be a case where forest has enough resources to allow more birds over and above the current 1500. Thus 1500, is just the present population of bird in the forest and not its carrying capacity

Only option A, talks about the maximum limit of desert to sustain 320 cactus.

Thus option A, is correct as it describes the carrying capacity of an environment i.e desert

Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that primarily affects males. Why does this condition typically affect males more t
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Hemophilia typically affects more males than females because the disorder is </em><em>X-linked </em><em>and </em><em>recessive</em><em>. </em>

<u>Females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males only have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The two X chromosomes in females are capable of carrying alleles while the Y chromosome in males is hypothesized not able to carry alleles. </u>

Consequently, the two X chromosomes in females will both need to carry the recessive allele of hemophilia in order for any female to be affected for hemophilia while the males only need their single X chromosome to carry the recessive allele in order to be affected.

In order words, the presence of a single recessive allele is not enough for a female to be affected while it is more than enough for a male to be affected. Hence, more males are affected b hemophilia disorder than females.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

  1. The peripheral nervous system has - Somatic nervous system and Autonomic nervous system.
  2. These systems control our body action by this controls all the types of muscles.

Explanation:

  • Somatic nervous system have -  Cranial nerves and  Spinal nerves
  • Autonomic nervous system have -   Sympathetic and  Parasympathetic  system.
  • The somatic nervous system controls our voluntary and involuntary actions by cranial and spinal nerves and controls all three types of muscles such as cardiac, smooth and skeletal.
  • The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary actions of our internal organs.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system relates to all types of muscle.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system accelerates and decelerates the heart beat respectively, by this controls the cardiac muscle.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system stimulates and relaxes our internal organs respectively, by this controls the smooth muscles.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic system prepares our body as a whole for a action and also relaxes our whole body respectively, by this controls the skeletal muscles.

A plant scientist was hired by a greenhouse operator to devise a way to force iris plants to bloom in the short days of winter.
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Interrupt the long winter nights with a brief period of light.

Explanation:

Long day plants, also called short night plants, flower when the dark period is equal or less than the critical period specific for the species. These plants normally flower in summers when nights are short and days are longer. Winters have a long dark period and do not support flowering in shirt night plants.

A continuous dark period is critical for flowering. A short night plant can flower in winters (having longer dark periods) if the dark period is interrupted by exposing the plant with a flash of light. To make short night plants, such as iris to flower in winters, the plant should be given short period of light after completion of critical dark period.
