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.

How old does a whale shark need to be before it can reproduce?
spin [16.1K]
Whale shark reproduction can be by laying eggs that is also called oviparity where the female deposits eggs in the algae or rocks. The embryos formed inside the eggs and feed on the yolk. They can also reproduce through viviparity which means by giving birth just like mammals wherein they are born fully formed. This reproduction process is through the placental link to the eggs wherein the yolk sac grows within a placenta that is connected to the wall of the uterus and gives the offspring the nutrients vital for their growth. Another reproduction process is through Ovoviviparity where eggs are formed inside the mother where the eggs hatch within the oviduct of the female and the young feed on the egg yolk of the yolk sac and the fluids that the walls of the oviduct secrete since the mother does not provide any food directly. Once the eggs are ready, eggs hatch inside the mother and it pups keep getting food from their surroundings until they are fully developed. The number of their offspring and the length of the gestation periods varies according to the species. Probably a female of some species may have only two offspring, but some other species may have between forty and eighty. The small sharks have shorter gestation period compared to large species that last from three to four months or up to more than two years. The large ones reproduce every two years, while the little ones have offspring each year. This is why the reproduction process of whale shark is not known in detail.

explain the difference between the number of chromosomes between a frog somatic cell and a frog egg cell
leva [86]
A somatic cell is a cell that is any of the 22 chromosome pairs that aren’t reproductive cells. So, these cells would have the full 26 chromosomes that a frog usually has.

However, since an egg cell is a reproductive cell and needs to combine with another reproductive cell to create one whole combined cell and organism, it would only have 13 chromosomes. The egg cell is like half of a somatic cell, so it will have half of however many the somatic cell will have.

Organisms that make their own organic compounds from inorganic substances are called
Mars2501 [29]
<h2>Autotrophic organism</h2>

Explanation:

  • Autotrophs make their own food. Typically, we think of plants as autotrophs, and this is true, but there are other kinds as well. Plants, algae, phytoplankton, and some bacteria are photosynthetic, meaning they use sunlight to make sugar, which they then use to make energy. Photosynthetic organisms are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll that does photosynthesis. Some other types of bacteria are also autotrophic, but they are chemosynthetic.
  • They use the energy stored in chemicals, usually released from deep sea vents, to make their food, and then energy. Green leaves make food through photosynthesis leaf Autotrophs form the basis of all food webs.
  • They gather energy from inorganic sources, like chemicals or the sun, and convert it into a form that other animals can use. Energy is transferred from the autotrophs to consumers that eat them, and then to carnivores that eat those animals. Without autotrophs, all of our food webs would collapse.
