10 points! When looking out of my back door, I see robins, blue jays, finches, crows, hawks and owls all living in the same area

. How is it possible that all of the birds can live in the same area of one another without starving? Be specific!!! (JSYK, this is related to evolution, adaptation, and natural selection)

The possibility for all of the mentioned birds to live all in a same area is because they are all specialized and occupy a certain niche in the food chain, thus not standing in each others ways when it comes to competition for food.

All of these birds have adapted to be able to survive in their respective environment, developing characteristics that will enable them to be superior in something. Through natural selection, the individuals that were performing better, got the chance to mate, thus the offspring was better adapted and stronger in its niche of the food chain.

The robins and the blue jays are birds that are very opportunistic in their food choice, thus giving them greater flexibility and ability to survive, they mostly feed on worms, insects, fruits, vegetables, so they have a big menu.

The finches are specialized in eating nuts and seeds, thus avoiding the competition with the previous two, thus having that food type for themselves.

The owls and hawks are both birds of pray, but the owls hunt mostly at night, while the eagles during the day. Also, the owls prefer to have rodents as their pray, while the hawks are mostly eating other birds, thus not standing in each other's ways.

A scientist could best determine which ion (F-, Cl-, Br-, or I-) produced the greatest electrical potential in the Experiment by
Serggg [28]

Answer:

a solution of each sodium salt at the same concentration

Explanation:

If a scientist wishes to study the electrical potential that develops between ice  and the sodium salts solution of the ions (F-, Cl-, Br-, or I-) in order to determine which ion produced the greatest electrical potential; he must compare the electrical potential that develops between ice and a solution of each sodium salt at the same concentration.

This means that conclusions can not be reached unless the sodium salt of each ion at the same concentration is compared so as to ensure consistence in the results of the study.

An organic disorder whose symptoms tend to develop gradually and worsen over time is
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

"However, a biopsychosocial approach to treatment is required to address all symptoms, particularly as organic disorders often have affective and relational consequences as well. Psychotherapy and cognitive rehabilitation strategies have been shown to be effective with a variety of acute and chronic organic disorders. Although therapeutic interventions with chronic degenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s dementia, cannot produce permanent change, they can optimize the person’s functioning and increase quality of life."-https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-0-387-09757-2_36

A situation in which the coefficient of coincidence is greater than 1.0 would indicate that: A. no double crossovers were found
damaskus [11]

Answer:

B. there were more double crossovers in the progeny than would be expected based on probability

Explanation:

Crossing over or recombination can be defined as the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Moreover, the coefficient of coincidence is the number of double recombinants found in the progeny. The coefficient of coincidence can be estimated by the following equation:  

Coefficient of coincidence  (COC) = ADRF / EDRF

where ADRF = Actual Double Recombinant Frequency

and  EDRF = Expected Double Recombinant Frequency

In the case above described, ADFR is higher than EDRF, and therefore COC will be higher than 1.
