In a fish species, the number of eggs that hatch and survive for one year varies depending on the number of eggs that were produ

Which of the following statements best explains why only a limited number of offspring can survive in a fish population?A. Resource partitioning allows similar species to coexist in the same ecological community.B. The number of fish surviving after one year is proportional to the number of eggs produced.C. The chance of survival decreases when there is intraspecific competition for resources among surviving yearlings.D. More yearling fish survive beyond one year when there is an abundance of prey species present.

Answer:

C. The chance of survival decreases when there is intraspecific competition for resources among surviving yearlings

Explanation:

The survival rate of the offspring of the fish species will decrease as a result of the huge number of eggs produced giving rise to overpopulation. Pressure will be on the limited available resources. As a result of this, Intraspecific competition would occur as members of the same fish species would compete for the limited resources.  

Interference and exploitation competition are two types of Intraspecific competition that can reduce the population size of the fish species.

For Interference competition, the dominant and stronger members would secure adequate supply of the limited resources to  detriment of the weaker and less dominant ones. This leads to the death of those members that are weak to compete successfully, thereby leading to a reduction in population size.

In exploitation competition, it involves all individual members of the fish species sharing the limited resources equally, while none of them gets an adequate amount. With time, a great size of the population decrease would be noticed when compared to that of Interference competition.

Define vaccine and describe two types of vaccines. how do vaccines work to protect the body from disease?
Ivanshal [37]
A vaccine is a substance that supports the body to produce antibodies and offer immunity in contradiction of a disease. A live attenuated vaccine comprises a version of the living microbe that has been destabilized because they are still alive this is the closest thing to an actual infection and will habitually lead the body to have a lifelong immunity after only one or two doses. A killed vaccine is created by killing the illness with chemicals, heat or radiation in which these vaccines are harmless but rouse a weaker immune reaction.

What powers did The Empire of Great Britain have over its people<br>​
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The Empire of Great Britain had a "global power," which was also known as a "superpower" concerning resources, influences and geopolitical landscapes.

Explanation:

<em>When it comes to international relations, the power of a country or a nation is very important.</em> It is an inherent goal that many people want. It can be used in many situations such as<em> cooperating with other countries, coercing people to follow a rule, securing the nation and developing the nation, etc.</em>

The Empire of Great Britain was considered, together with USA and the Soviet Union, to have a "superpower." Only the strongest nation possess such power. It was able to control millions of people, which then resulted into a great expansion. <em>The reason behind this is that they had a stricter rule than other nations and people followed it.</em> This made them stronger and while they continued expanding, they were able to acquire more resources.

In a cross between individuals of a species of tropical fish, all of the male offspring have long tail fins, and none of the fem
Sergio039 [100]

In this cross the trait of long tail fins is associated with the “Y” chromosome of the male.  

Thus the alleles  of the male are represented by XY” where X chromosome has no trait of long tails find  

And the allels of the female are represented by XX, as they do not have long tail fins.  

When these two are crossed , the following punnet square is produced

X     Y”

X X X    X Y”

X X X     X Y”

The XX is the female while the XY” is the male offspring.

Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.

Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:

Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).

It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.

Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.

So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.
