Spot the flaw. There are two types of males in bluegill sunfish. Parental males guard small territories, where they mate with fe

males and take care of the eggs and young. Cuckolder males do not have territories or take care of young. Instead, they sneak in and release sperm when a parental male is spawning with a female, thereby fertilizing a portion of the eggs. A choice experiment was carried out on juvenile sunfish to test whether offspring from the two types of eggs (fertilized by parental male vs. fertilized by cuckolder male) are able to distinguish kin (siblings) from non-kin using odor cues. The researchers used a two-sample method to test the null hypothesis that fish are unable to discriminate between kin and non-kin. This null hypothesis was not rejected for offspring from parental males. However, the same null hypothesis was rejected for offspring from cuckolder males. The researchers concluded that offspring of cuckolder males are more able to discriminate kin from non-kin than are offspring of parental males. What is wrong with this conclusion

Answer:

The conclusion is apt and correct.

Explanation:

The original null hypothesis for a 2-sample t-test is that the two groups are equal.

Its said above that the researcher used a two-sample method to test the null hypothesis.

Objective - to test whether offspring from the two types of eggs (fertilized by parental male vs. fertilized by cuckolder male)  are able to distinguish kin (siblings) from non-kin using odor cues.

H° - null hypothesis that fish are unable to discriminate between kin and non-kin.

Action point.

1. H° was accepted for offspring of

parental males.

2. H° was rejected for offspring from cuckolder males

Conclusion:

Offspring of cuckolder males are more able to discriminate kin from non-kin than are offspring of parental males.

The conclusion is apt and correct.

Answer:

The conclusion that cuckolder are able to discriminate kin from non kin

Explanation:

From the above question, researchers carried out tests on the two types of fish (males cuckolder and parental males) to see if they can identify kin and non kin from the offsprings, using a null test.

But the test for cuckolder was rejected by the researchers for the cuckolder so they can't say cuckolder can indentify between kins and non kins, they didn't pass the test so it should be concluded that cuckolder can't identify between kin and non kin, instead of concluding they can identify them, that is the wrong conclusion.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. Changes in the environment changed each morph's ability to evade predation in different ways.

Explanation:

The moth species<em> Biston betularia</em> has two color morphs, or variants. One has a speckled white and black color, while the other is all black. Over the period of time, the distribution of moths dramatically changed between 1900 and 1950 in such a way that black morph became dominant but speckled morphs became very much declined in abundance. The reasons behind this change was heavy industrial pollution in UK between 1900 and 1950.

When the environment became very polluted, dark and blackish, the speckled moth had more chanced of getting eaten by predators thats why they declined in number  as compared to black morphs. On the other hand, backgrounds of grime and soot made black morphs less visible to the predators and they survived well. This is an excellent example of natural selection that only those specie better survive that have the ability to cope better with adverse environmental fluctuations.

Therefore, option D is best option.

Hope it help!

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1. Archaea are prokaryotic cells. These are one of the two prokaryotic organism domain. the other is eubacteria.

2. Eubacteria cell wall contains peptidoglycan which is composed of sugar and amino acids.

3. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound nucleus or organelles. which distinguishes it from prokaryotic cells.

4. All archaea domain organisms found in extreme conditions such as halophiles, extremophiles, and thermophile.

5. The cell wall of the plant is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose units.

6. Eubacteria are considered to be the first living organism or form found on earth.

7. Fungi cell walls are made up of a chitin cell wall. which is makes it different from eubacteria and plants.

8. Fungi uses absorption to obtain nutrients. Most of the fungi uses haustaurium to absorb nutrients.

9.Fungi are organism that do not fit in other eukaryotic category. Hence they were classified as separate kingdom in 5 kingdom classification.

10.plants are classifies as autotrophs because they make their own food.These autotrophs serve as primary producers.

11.Corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae. Algae provide food for coral through photosynthesis where as coral provide protection to algae.

12.corals are classified as autotrophs due to their relationship with algae.They are mixotrophs generally because they act as autotrophs with association of algae and capture prey by tentacles thus making heterotrophic nutrition.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Crustaceans and Molluscs play an important role in the oceanic carbon sink.

Explanation:

Carbon sinks can serve to partially offset greenhouse gas emissions. Forests and oceans are both large carbon sinks. Algae is pressurized to bottom of the ocean by long term sequestration. Algae then falls to the bottom of the ocean and TRANSFORMS to fossil fuels.

  • CO2 is not combustible.
  • creates carbonic acid in the oceans.
  • Reduces seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and thus calcium carbonate (needed for shells for marine creatures, contributes to BOTTOM-UP EFFECT)
