What affects do islands have on animal size

Biology
1 answer:
Sever21 [200]3 years ago
7 0

There's two effects that the islands have on the size of the animals, reducing of size, or increasing of size. The reducing of size is known as island dwarfism, while the increase in size is known island gigantism.

The effect of the island environment effects different types of animals in different manner, and it also has to be taken in account the size of the island. In general, the small animals tend to increase their size on the islands, while the large animals tend to decrease in size. The reason for this is that the smaller animals, because of the isolation, usually lack predators or they are very few, but also have sufficient amounts of food, thus they grow in size. The larger animals though, decrease their size because there isn't enough food on the islands to support them, thus with the decrease in size they consume less. Also, since they usually lack predators, they do not have to be large in order to defend themselves.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

A. A biofilm

Explanation:

Biofilms have high bacterial density near to 10000000 CFU/ml bacteria. Due to such high densities, these biofilms becomes resistant to the antibiotics. These biofilms are basically community of microorganisms which stick itself to some kind of surface be it living or non-living. The bacteria’s which get attached to these biofilm and grow in an environment in which they possess both tolerance and resistance towards any bactericidal agent. Due to this functional mechanism of bacterias with in the biofilm, they become resistant to antibiotics.

How are the lytic and lysogenic cycles similar and different in terms of process and infection?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

<h2>Lytic cycle: involve that there is rupture( lysis) of the host cell and release many copies of virus. </h2><h2>Lysogenic cycle:  involve the insertion of the nucleic acid of a bacteriophage into host genome, known as prophage. </h2>

Explanation:

There are many  similarities and differences between lysogenic and lytic cycles that;

1. Lysogenic cycle of bacteriophage :

i)  in lysogenic cycle:  bacteriophage insert its DNA with that of a host, known as prophage and it replicates with host.

2. Lytic cycle of bacteriophage:

i) lytic cycle is that it results in many copies of the virus very quickly and the cell is ruptured and many copies of virus are released.

4. Similarity is that in both cycles bacteriophase inter into the host and use their machinery.
