Matthew has discovered a new species of fish. During the summer months, the male fish separate themselves from the female fish a

nd swim to cooler waters. During one summer, a volcano erupts and the molten rock forms a barrier preventing the male and female fish from reuniting.
Which of these BEST describes the long-term outlook for this new species of fish?
A) The species would not be affected by the barrier.
B) The male fish would begin to produce eggs and sperm.
C) The fish would develop legs and walk across the barrier.
D) The fish would become extinct as they would not be able to reproduce.

The correct answer is D. The fish would become extinct as they would not be able to reproduce.

Explanation:

Fish as most organism prevail over time due to adaptation to environmental conditions and reproduction, in terms of reproduction fish reproduce sexually which means a female gamete and a male gamete are needed to produce offspring, also this, implies both gametes need to be in contact so fertilization can take place. Because of this, if there is a natural or non-natural barrier that stops female and male fish to reunite and therefore prevents the gametes of fish to lead to fertilization and this barrier prevails over time, the species is likely to become extinct or disappear as there are not new individuals or future generations.

D should be the answer as they are no longer able to perform sexual reproduction without the other fish. Therefore, they would die off because they have lost the partner needed to reproduce.

Hope this helps!

geniusboy [140]

Answer: B transmitted by contact

Explanation:

Cutaneous Anthrax is spread by contact with the bacterium's spores, which often appear in infectious animal products. Contact is by breathing, eating, or through an area of broken skin. It does not typically spread directly between people. Risk factors include people who work with animals or animal products, travelers, postal workers, and military personnel.Diagnosis can be confirmed by finding antibodies or the toxin in the blood or by culture of a sample from the infected site.

A geologist is studying two different rhyolite flows to determine if they were erupted at the same time.
ss7ja [257]
Q1. The answer is 1.

It can be calculated using the equation:

 (1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining, 

n - a number of half-lives.


x = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.5

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.5)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.5)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.5)

n = log(0.5)/log(0.5)

n = 1


Q10. The answer is 2.


It can be calculated using the equation:

 (1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining, 

n - a number of half-lives.


Rhyolite #2 has 25% of the parent H remaining:

x = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.25

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.25)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.25)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.25)

n = log(0.25)/log(0.5)

n = -0.602 / - 0.301

n = 2



Q3. The answer is 100 million years.


A number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (t) and length of half-life (H):

n = t/H

n = 1

t = ?

H = 100 000 000 years


n = t/H

t = n * H

t = 1 * 100 000 000 years

t = 100 000 000 years<span>

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Option B, It increases the probability that some offspring will survive long enough to reproduce.

Explanation:

The larger the number of eggs, the larger will be the available opportunities for at least few of the youngsters to develop into adult being and survive till the age of fertility. This shall enhance the chances of producing new offspring before the older  one dies thereby replacing them without changing the population number and further producing offspring that can survive to replace them and continue this chain.

Hence, option B is correct
