You are a fisheries biologist for the state of North Carolina. You are charged with protecting the fish population, while also

keeping professional fishermen from losing their jobs. Based on the chart above, what would you conclude and what would your solution be?
A) There is a serious problem with overfishing of red grouper, so there must be a problem with other fish as well. All fishing for any species should be banned.
Catch YearAverage Mass (kg) Mature MalesEstimated Population (millions)199022.317.5199121.618.2199221.414.4199320.913.5199420.213.2199520.314.2199619.710.9199719.810.8199818.89.5199917.99.4B)There is not a very serious problem. The smaller size and population are probably just due to some bad years. Do nothing and monitor the situation.

C)There is a problem with overfishing. Ban fishing for large fish so their size and population can recover, but allow the fishermen to take smaller fish.

D)There is a problem with overfishing of red grouper, but the fishermen need to stay in business. Bring in another species of grouper from Australia, so that there are more fish to catch.

I think the answer would be C) There is a problem with overfishing. Ban fishing for large fish so their size and population can recover, but allow the fisherman to take smaller fish.

banning fishing all together or ignoring the problem would definitely not work and bringing in a new species could disrupt the ecosystem and cause more of an issue.

c.}  This chart shows the annual catch statistics for the red grouper for the state of North Carolina during the 1990’s. Red grouper begin their lives as females, and the largest fish change sexes to become male during mating season. Only large females mate with these males and lay eggs.

For fertilization to occur in humans, only one sperm is needed to weaken the barrier that surrounds the egg.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg.  They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.

The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.

Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.

A gecko is a type of reptile. How does a gecko most likely respond to cold air temperatures?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Your answer is D). Like most cold-blooded animals, geckos' bodies are unable to maintain a homeostatic body temperature on their own, therefore they must bask in the sun in order to increase their body heat, and hide in the shade when it's too hot.
