It is Heat stroke. This is a form of hyperthermia in which the body temperature is elevated dramatically. It is a medical emergency and can be fatal if not promptly and properly treated. It is caused by an elevation in body temperature, often accompanied by dehydration. The symptoms include; confusion, the absence of sweating, agitation, disorientation, and coma. Most important measures to prevent heat stroke is to avoid becoming dehydrated and to avoid vigorous physical activities in hot and humid weather.

Answer:

Predator-prey relation.

Explanation:

A predator is defined as an organism that hunts another individual, whereas a prey refers to the organism that is eaten by the predator. They tend to co-evolve (evolve together). The prey is essential for the predator to survive, while the predator controls the prey populations by hunting some of the individuals.

Predator-prey relations are interactions that occur between two species where one species (prey) represents a food source for the other species (predator).

The turtle (prey) is essential for the survival of the jaguar (Panthera onca), while the jaguar controls the populations of turtles by preying upon them. Therefore, this is a predator-prey relation.

Which statement best describes the relationship between an allele's frequency and its dominance? A) Frequency and dominance are

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

D) Frequency results from environmental stresses, not dominance.

Explanation:

The allele frequency refers to the amount of frequency of a particular allele in a small population whereas the dominance and recessive are the measure of the effects of the allele on the population which decides the trait of an organism.

The frequency and dominance cannot be correlated with each other as the frequency of the allele in a population is the result of the environmental stress which are random and by chances, whereas the effect of dominance is not random but is the result of the favoured trait for survival.

Thus, Option-D is correct.
