Part A A researcher notices that in a certain moth species, some females prefer to feed and lay eggs on domesticated solanaceous

plants like potatoes and tomatoes. Other females prefer to feed and lay eggs on wild solanaceous plants such as Datura. Both male and female moths primarily use scent to find these plants from afar. Females tend to mate where they feed, and the researcher finds a genetic basis for scent preference in these moths. Based on the above information, what might be occurring in this moth species?

Answer: The correct answer to the question is DIVERGENCE IN SYMPATRY.

Explanation: SYMPATRY is defined as when population or species of a particular organism live in the same geographic area,or live close enough to each other, enough to make interbreeding possible.

Divergence in sympatry come to play when new population becomes to diverge due to selection.

Divergence in sympatry occurs even if there is limited interbreeding where the two groups or species come in contact,so there is no geographic constraint when it comes to to interbreeding.

This clearly explains what happened in the question between the mother species that prefer to feed and lay eggs on domesticated solanaceous plants like potatoes and tomatoes and the other females that prefer to feed and lay eggs on wild solanaceous plants such as Datura and also how both male and female moths primarily use scent to find these plants from afar without any geographic constraint.

Answer:

The correct answer is Divergence in sympatry.

Explanation:

Sympatry: Refers to two similar species that coincide in part or their whole distribution area. There are two ways in which two species can reach sympatry.  

• Two species that originated in different areas, expanded and met each other in a concrete geographic place. In this case, both species compete for resources and one of them displaces the other one, or the two species might segregate and make use of different niches.  

• Two species suffered sympatric speciation, they both have the same ancestor and originated in the same place. In the distribution area of the original species, there were differences in the populations´ microhabitats, and they were submitted to different environmental pressures, such as dense or clear forest, presence or absence of predators, among others. These pressures could lead to certain differences that could have driven to the final isolation of one of the populations. These populations suffer genetic changes due to the environmental conditions that are inheritable.  

What might be occurring in the exposed example is that the species is diverging in sympatry, as some females prefer domesticated plant species while some other prefer wild species. These moths will probably develop strategies and structures that make them more adapted to each environment, which will eventually make them be different from each other and will probably cause speciation.

Quiz which condition could lead to drawdown below the level of existing wells?
irinina [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
  • During rainfall the runoff water percolates into the ground through the gap in the soil particles and the water table is recharged.
  • But when gallons of water are pumped continuously it leads to a drastic reduction in the water table because, water from the surrounding aquifers move towards the place where the vacuum is created by pumping.
  • To prevent this, the groundwater should be recharged and over drawing should be avoided.

astra-53 [7]

<u>Answer</u>:  

Different type of the same procedure that takes the place of the kidneys and cleans the blood are mutually all known as osmoregulation.

<u>Explanation</u>:  

Along with kidney there are other organs which helps the body to purify blood. These organs are lungs which exchanges carbon dioxide with oxygen and skin which helps in excreting the extra salt concentration from the body. In invertebrate animals the kidney is not present but osmoregulation takes place with the help of organelles and organs like vacuoles, nephridia, antennal glands, salt glands and malpighian tubules.
