Do you think microscopic organisms like bacteria and amoebas are impacted differently by the factors that limit population size

differently than larger organisms like humans? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

Explanation:

Factors that limit population size of an organism and slows it down and prevents it from growing are called limiting factors. Limiting factors generally affects all living organisms with the same impact; this is because the mode of survival of living organisms (based on the characteristics of living things) are usually threatened by limiting factors BUT the responses are different.

For example, when there is low supply of food (which is a limiting factor), large organisms (like humans) emigrate from such region or location to a region where there is a large or enough supply of food thereby reducing the population of the that large organisms in the initial location. A short supply of food/nutrient for bacteria (which is also a limiting factor) is responded to differently. When there is a short supply of nutrient to a bacterial population, it affects the population size by restricting the growth of such bacteria in that space/location.

Suppose two independently assorting genes are involved in the pathway that determines fruit color in squash. These genes interac
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

120 white individuals

30 yellow individuals

10 green individuals  

Explanation:

Available data:

  • Dominant epistasis: Phenotypic frequencies 12:3:1
  • W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype
  • w allele codes for a colored squash
  • Y allele codes for a dominant yellow phenotype
  • y allele codes for a recessive green phenotype
  • W allele will always mask the phenotype produced by Y or y alleles
  • 160 offspring

F1 Phenotypic Frequency)

White phenotype: 12/16 = 120 individuals

Yellow phenotype: 3/16 = 30 individuals

Green Phenotype: 1/16 = 10 individuals

To know how many offspring are expected to have the white, yellow, and green phenotypes, you can perform a three simple rule. This is:

16 ------- 160 offspring

12 White ------- X = 120 offspring

3 Yellow ------- X= 30 offspring

1 Green --------X = 10 offspring

What would happen if the enzymes that helped to breakdown carbohydrates within your body did not function properly?
sukhopar [10]

Enzymes are catalysts, which means that they make chemical reactions go faster, but are not changed by the reaction. For example, digestive enzymes cause food that you eat to be broken down much faster than would occur without them, but they are not broken down in the reaction they are speeding up.

Research has shown that people who have a chronic disease or have low energy levels also have lower enzyme content in their blood, urine, and tissues. While there is clearly a direct relationship between disease states and a person's enzyme levels, only recently has the NATURE of that relationship been better understood. Researchers began to question if a person's enzyme levels were low because they were sick or were they sick because their enzyme levels were low. The researchers found something surprising.

<span>A person may not have a low enzyme content because he is sick or old, but instead, the reason a person may be sick or old is because of low enzyme content.</span>

What causes the lunar phases that we see from earth?
xeze [42]
As it moves around the Earth, the side we can see gradually becomes more illuminated by direct sunlight. After a week, the moon is 90 degrees away from the sun in the sky and is half illuminated, what we call "first quarter" because it is about a quarter of the way around the Earth.
