The picture shown is a food chain found in the Grand Basin desert in Nevada. Suppose a company that makes snakeskin wallets sets

up shop in the area and gets all of the Mojave rattlesnakes. What would you least expect to happen next?

The incident that you would least expect to happen next is Desert sage bush populations grow uncontrollably.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The picture depicts a food chain in the Grand Basin Desert in Nevada. All the  animals in the food chain are either prey or predators or both. If A company that makes snakeskin wallets set up a shop in the area, the population of Mojave rattlesnakes will see a decline.

The rattlesnakes preys upon kangaroo rat and jack rabbit indicating that as the rattle snake population declines, the population of kangaroo rat and jack rabbit will increase. Kangaroo rat feeds on desert sage bush.So when their numbers increases, the desert sage bush population will decrease.

Desert sage bush population growing uncontrollably is the least expected possibility.

Kangaroo rat population will show an increase  and Cougars will eat more jack rabbits than usual will be least expected.

Explanation:

The food chain of the Grand Basin in Nevada shows that kangaroo rat is the only eaten by Mojave rattlesnake.

The overtaking of all the Mojave rattlesnake would cause the survival of kangaroo rat because no other predator has its prey on kangaroo rat.

The no eating will lead an increase number of kangaroo rats as long as they live naturally on the trophic level.

It is deduced that kangaroo rat is not transferring any energy to the other trophic level neither the biomass.

Cougars will eat more jack rabbits than usual because they have been preying on Mojave rattle snake and jack rabbit, the disappearance of Mojave rattle snake will cause them rely on cougars which will lead to compete for the food among the species.

Explain the difference between using dna profiles to determine paternity and to match a tissue sample with a suspect
Dmitry [639]
Each person has a unique DNA profile. To determine paternity, only a very limited amount of tissue is used to match the DNA profile of the potential father to that of the child. The genetic test performed to determine whether a tissue sample belongs to a specific suspect needs a more extended tissue sample.

Si se aparean especies diferentes como por ejemplo el cruce entre caballos y burros; podemos afirmar que si llegan a tener desce
White raven [17]

Answer:

El híbrido va a ser esteril.

Explanation:

En la cruza entre dos especies distintas, cuando ocurre, existen distintos mecanismos de aislamiento reproductivo, que son barreras que inhiben o interrumpen el flujo génico entre especies distintas. Es decir que no habrá exito reproductivo de estas cruzas. Se trata de caracteres biológicos propios de cada especie que previenen la reproducción con otras especies.

Estos mecanismos de aislamiento reproductivo pueden ser precigóticos o postcigóticos.  

  1.Pre-copulatorios o pre-cigóticos:

  • Ecológico o por aislamiento de hábitat;
  • Estacional o temporal;
  • Sexual o etológico;
  • Mecánico;
  • Por incompatibilidad de gametas.  

  2. Post-copulatorios o cigóticos:

  • Inviabilidad del híbrido;
  • Esterilidad del híbrido;
  • Híbrido con viabilidad o fertilidad disminuido;
  • Interacciones citoplasmáticas.

La mula es producto de la cruza entre dos especies distintas: una yegua (Equus ferus caballus) y un burro (Equus africanus asinus). Es un ejemplo de la accion de mecanismo poscigótico, en el cual se forma un híbrido viable esteril. Este ejemplar puede nacer, crecer y sobrevivir, pero que no puede producir gametas funcionales, por lo cual no puede reproducirse.

Protein c is associated with the membrane and is known to be responsible for signal transduction. it is coded for by a gene name
zysi [14]
<span>In liver, the most intensively studied transmembrane and intracellular signal transduction pathways are the Janus kinase signal transduction pathway, the mitogen-activated protein kinases signal transduction pathway, the transforming growth factor β signal transduction pathway, the tumor necrosis factor α signal transduction pathway and the recently discovered sphingolipid signal transduction pathway. All of them are activated by many different cytokines and growth factors. They regulate specific cell mechanisms such as hepatocytes proliferation, growth, differentiation, adhesion, apoptosis, and synthesis and degradation of the extracellular matrix.
