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.

<h3>What is alimentary canal?</h3>

The alimentary canal is a muscular hollow continuous tubular organ that begins at the mouth and ends at the anus and is in charge of digestion and absorption of ingested food and liquids.

The alimentary canal, also known as the alimentary tract, is a component of the digestive (gastrointestinal) system.

The small intestine is the muscular tube that connects the stomach to the large intestine and is divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.

Thus, the answer is small intestine.

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass dates from Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 discovery that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. In other words, the mass of any one element at the beginning of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction.

Answer:

There are many reasons why manned space probes to Saturn are simply  unachievable. Getting to space is incredibly hard. The force of gravity is very hard to escape. If you wanted to, you would have to invest trillions upon trillions of dollars to create a space shuttle that may or may not explode. Second, we simply don’t have the technology to make it that far with a manned probe. Saturn is more than a billion miles away. It would take more than several years to go that far. To keep astronauts alive, entertained, and sustained is also a big challenge. In conclusion these are some reasons why a manned space probe to Saturn is unachieveable.
