You observe two populations of chimpanzees using sticks to dig termites out from nests for food. One population uses long sticks

; the second population uses short sticks. Which of the following observations would not support the hypothesis that the choice of stick length is a learned behavior? A. There are equal numbers of short and long sticks in the environment of each population. B. The population using long sticks has mostly long sticks in its environment. C. The chimpanzees using short sticks have obtained them by breaking long sticks. D. Young chimpanzees in both populations start out using sticks of many different sizes. E. Individuals that don’t use the common stick length for that population catch fewer termites.

Answer: B. The population using long sticks has mostly long sticks in its environment

Explanation:

Going back to the statement that reiterates the hypothesis after observations about the apes in the Introduction.

Reviewing the findings in this case, on the behavior of using sticks to dig seem to be the focus the experiment and choice length of the stick.

Making a judgment about whether or not the two finding has been supported is next step.

If there are equal numbers of short and long sticks in the environment of each population and the apes chooses one specific we can say their behavior is learned.

 If the chimpanzees using short sticks have made the the sticks short by breaking long sticks then we can say this behavior is learned.

When the Young chimpanzees in both populations start out using sticks of many different sizes we can see that these variables of learning is yet to be perfected.

When individuals in the population that don’t use the common stick length for that population catch fewer termites this reveals a randomness in the behavior of interest.

At this point we can say that if the population using long sticks has mostly long sticks in its environment then there is a biased objective in the study and this does not support the hypothesis that the choice of stick length is a learned behavior.

Polysaccharide digestion and glycogen breakdown involve sequential cleavage from ________ ends of glucose polymers.
Alex787 [66]

Sequential cleavage from the non-reducing terminals of glucose molecules is required for both glycogen degradation and polysaccharides hydrolysis.

Why non-reducing end is selected for digestion?

A polysaccharide's non-reducing end is the one where an anomeric carbon participates in the glycosidic connection. The elimination of carbohydrate remnants one at a time out from the non-reducing terminal occurs during glycogenolysis and polysaccharides hydrolysis.

  • For example, several enzymes are involved in glycogenolysis in the liver and muscle.
  • An example of such an enzyme is glycogen phosphorylase, which catalyzes the successive dissociation of the alpha 1->4 glycosidic bond that connects two glucose molecules at a non-reducing terminal of glycogen. The last glucose residue is eliminated as alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate.

That is why non-reducing end of glucose is chosen for digestion or breakdown of the carbohydrate polymer.

Populations of coastal lodgepole pine are separated along an environmental gradient of soil pH that changes from neutral pH near

Answer:

Parapatric speciation  

Explanation:

There are different types of speciation. Parapatric speciation consists of new species evolving from a continuous distribution. That is, there is no physical barrier that might impede the gene flow,  in fact, it might continue during the speciation process.  

There is an environmental gradient that determines different phenotypes for different environmental conditions. One phenotype is more adapted to one of the distribution extremes than the other phenotype. In the exposed case, the environmental gradient is given by the differences in pH.

In the border between the environmental extremes, there is the primary hybrid zone, where both phenotypic forms might meet and hybridize.

What is the purpose of replication?
Greeley [361]

The purpose of DNA replication is to produce two identical copies of a DNA molecule. This is essential for cell division during growth or repair of damaged tissues. DNA replication ensures that each new cell receives its own copy of the DNA.
