The correct answer is (b) Increase

Pines trees are infected by different insects during the adverse and stressed environmental condition. Pine borer beetle is pest that infect pine tree during the stressed condition due to lack of water in that area. In healthy condition pines can kill these insects but in stressed condition insect will effect the plant so if the number of beetle will decrease, the population of pines will increase in that area.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "increase".

Parasitism (+/-) is a type of ecological relationship in which one organism lives on or in another organism to get its nutrition. It causes harm or may even kill another organism.

In this scenario, if the population of the parasite (pine borer beetle) decreases, then it would decrease harm and destruction of pine trees.

Hence, the population of pine trees would increase.

A mating between a purebred purple-flowered pea plant and a purebred white-flowered pea plant would produce a(n) ______.
Misha Larkins [42]

A mating between a purebred purple-flowered pea plant and a purebred white-flowered pea plant would produce a Hybrid.

In human genetics, assortative mating is a type of nonrandom mating in which pair connections are created based on phenotype (observable characteristics).

A statistical link between genotype and phenotype predicts a physical characteristic in a person or an anomaly in a patient with a specific mutation or a collection of mutations that are related to it.

The genotype of a purebred purple flowered pea plant will be PP

while the genotype of purebred white-flowered pea plant will be pp.

on crossing

PP   X   pp

Pp, Pp, Pp, Pp (offspring)

hence all the offspring produced will be hybrids.

A multigravid client admitted to the labor area is scheduled for a cesarean birth under spinal anesthesia. Which client statemen
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:The anesthetic may cause a severe headache, which is treatable."

Explanation:

Spinal anesthesia is a type of anesthesia which is administered locally using a fine needle between L3 and L4 space or L4 and L5 space in order to avoid injury to the spinal cord. This procedure is usually carried out by a trained health personnel such as:

- a nurse anesthetists and

- anesthesiologists

Spinal anaesthesia can be used in different surgical procedures such as Caesarea sections and to manage pain during vaginal delivery in MULTIGRAVID CLIENTS, which are those clients who has been pregnant more than once.

Caesarean section is usually done while the patient is awake with the use of spinal anaesthesia. Therefore it's important to explain any possible side effects from the drug to the patient which includes a severe type of headache called post-spinal headache and it's treatable.

What period(s) show the most rapid increase in adipose tissue?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

The growth of adipose tissue in newborns is directly linked to the fact that they do not have proper body temperature control, so fat acts as a thermal insulator in order to maintain a constant temperature, also, breast milk density can also influence baby fat gain.

For the first six months the baby still has a lot of fluid retention and so it may give the impression that he is getting fatter, but after the first six months until the end of the first year, the baby tends to lose this fluid, decreasing on average 10% of body weight.

<u>Girls</u> in adolescence and pre-adolescence have a tendency to gain weight due to the enormous hormonal load they receive at puberty, as well as other factors such as poor diet.

The same does not happen as often in <u>boys</u> because a good part tends to have a "leap" growth in puberty, favoring weight loss. The process of fattening in teenage boys is more associated with sedentary practices and consumption of junk food.
