Which theory of mate-selection suggests that people sift eligible mates according to specific criteria and thus reduce the pool

of potential partners to a small number of candidates?

Answer:

Filter theory

Explanation:

Filter theory is a sociological theory that explains how the choice of mates to date or being in a relationship with is determined by the use of certain criteria in limiting the number of potential mates they have to consider for a relationship. Criteria for selection could border around sociodemographic characteristics, similarity of attitudes or complementarity of mates.

For example, one of the examples of sociodemographic characteristics an individual may use to sift eligible mates is religion. A person may sift out mates that are not from the same religion as theirs, and restrict the choice of potential mates to those who practice the same religion with them.

What is the difference between recessive and dominate
zaharov [31]

The terms dominant and recessive describe the inheritance patterns of certain traits. ... For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have the dominant phenotype.

Hope this helpsss:))))

When resources are limited, explain 4 ways by which lizard species on the Bahamas Island can coexist
aliina [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Coexistence occur when individual occupying in a particular place are able survive with limited resources.

Dispersal - some of the lizard go hunting, they disperse themselves to various places to get resources.

Stability mechanism- this happen when individual stabilizes them selves in a particular habitat dealing with

environmental variations that may occur and drift them apart.

Equalizing mechanism - they all try to be at the same pace to avoid been out compete, even though some are stronger they equalize their energy for all to manage the limited resources.

Is blood clotting an example of a positive or negative feedback mechanism? Explain your answer based on the description of the m
serg [7]

Answer:

Blood clothing is an example of positive feedback.

This type of feedback mechanism is useful to the body because it multiplies the factor that intervenes in clotting accelerating the process.

If a toxin affects the molecules that signal for platelets the feedback will not be effective enough to produce clotting and the body will keep bleeding.

Explanation:

Blood clotting is an example of positive feedback due to the fact that when the vascular endothelium is damaged  platelets will go to this area and activate themselves once they are in contact with the collagen fibers of the damaged structure. When the platelets are activated they will release the contents that is stored in their granules. One of the contents is a Gq-linked protein receptor cascade,  that will increase the concentration of calcium in the platelets. Calcium activates protein kinase C, which, in turn, activates phospholipase A2 (PLA2). PLA2  will modifies  an  integrin membrane  increasing its affinity to bind fibrinogen. The activated platelets change their  shape , and the fibrinogen cross-links with the integrin membrane aiding  in  the aggregation of adjacent platelets. After this the coagulation cascade takes place. there are two pathways the extrinsic  and the extrinsic one.

The extrinsic pathway will be activated due to tissular factor released  by the platelets and the intrinsic pathway will be activated due to endothelial collagen. The final product of both pathways is factor x.

Factor x will transform prothrombin into thrombin will activate the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin. Thrombin will form a net of fibrin that will the clot.

A cascade reaction is useful because every component of the cascade are related making a quick reaction once that one of then is activated and can activate other or more factors.

If a toxin affects the molecules that signals for platelets, platelets will not go to the damaged area and in consequence there will not be thrombin and fibrin to form the clot together with platelets.
