The correct answer is B. Wasps lay eggs inside hornworms and after the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae feed on the hornworm.

Explanation:

In biology, parasitisms occur as one organism obtains one benefit from another organism that is known as a hostage, while the hostage is damaged or negatively affected by the parasite. This type of relationship can be seen in the case of lice as these organisms live on blood-warmed animals and feed on the blood of the hostage; additionally, the hostage is damaged not only because lice feed on its blood but because it can transmit certain diseases.

According to this, the statement that is an example of parasitisms is "Wasps lay eggs inside hornworms and after the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae feed on the hornworm" because in this case, the wasp is benefited by laying eggs inside a hornworm as this allow larvae to survive; also the host (hornworm) is damaged as it is eaten by the larvae.

Answer: See below

Explanation:

Solar energy: Advantages: Solar energy is pollution free and causes no greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation. Disadvantages: Although solar energy can still be collected during cloudy and rainy days, the efficiency of the solar system drops.

Wind energy: Advantages: It doesn't pollute air like power plant relying on combustion of fossil fuel. Disadvantages: Wind turbines can be a threat to wildlife (e.g. birds, bats).

Hydroelectric energy: Advantages: Hydroelectric energy is fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source, meaning it won't pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas. Disadvantages: Electricity generation and energy prices are directly related to how much water is available. A drought could potentially affect this.

Match each decimal number to its equivalent in scientific notation.
sdas [7]
<h3>Answer</h3>

15 = 1.5 × 10^1

1.5 =1.5 × 10^0

0.015 = 1.5 × 10^-2

0.15 = 1.5 × 10^-1

150 = 1.5 × 10^2

<h3>How to convert to scientific notation</h3>
  1. Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. Let says it is X
  2. Count how many places you moved the decimal point. Let say it is Y.
  3. If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.
  4. If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.
  5. If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0.
  6. Write your scientific notation number as X x 10^Y.

Which statement is a valid claim that could be made using the data in the graph?
jenyasd209 [6]

The correct answer is B.

On this graph we can observe the workings of the stabilizing selection. Stabilizing selection tends to favor the average phenotype and eliminate the extremes. Essentially, this means that the natural selection is selecting the mean value of a trait as optimal. In our case, the mean weight of newborns is selected as optimal, because newborns born with less weight can be too weak to survive and the ones that have too much weight (are too big) can hurt the mother during birth.
