When prey is abundant, predator populations increase because more young are able to survive. More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other.
Answer:
- Bird wings and dragonfly wings are both used for flight: Analogous structure
- Clams and snails both have similar muscle structure even though the muscles do different jobs: Homologous structure
- Human and giraffe necks both have 7 vertebrae because we are related: Homologous structure
- The flaps of a Venus flytrap have a similar makeup to oak leaves: Homologous structure
Explanation:
Analogous structures are similar structures that have the same or similar functions in unrelated organisms. Analogous structures aren't the result of evolutionary relationships among organisms (i.e., they were not inherited from a common ancestor). On the other hand, homologous structures are structures inherited from a common ancestor. Homologous structures may or may not have an identical function, but they are the result of evolutionary relationships among organisms and, therefore, they are genetically related.
Answer:
The organism should be classified as an arthropod because it has an exoskeleton and jointed legs.
Explanation:
I took the test on Edgeniuty
Answer:
The whelk population would likely increase since there would be more mussels and limpets available due to the decrease in crabs.
Explanation:
Gregor Mendal is known as the father of genetics. Mendal while a monk, used math to discover the basics of heredity by crossing pea plants with different characteristics for the f1 generation but when he crossed the f1 generation with a different pea plant he realized the traits that were in the original crossing to get f1 generation didn't show up until the f2 generation.
