When the comb jelly, Mnemiopsis leidyi, was introduced into the Black Sea, its population exploded to 500 comb jellies per cubic

yard in 1988. The jellies devoured all the zooplankton and fish larvae, drastically reducing the numbers of the native fish populations. This situation demonstrates _______.

The answer is invasive species.


Invasive species are species that are not native to specific ecosystem, but they have a capability to spread widely through the ecosystem, This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm. 

<span>After being introduced into the Black Sea, they greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they have no natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction of some native species.</span>

Is air pollution from a factory a change to an organism’s abiotic environment or biotic environment?
egoroff_w [7]
Abiotic

An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.  <span>

Biotic factors:
Plants
Microorganisms

Describe the relationship
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Explanation:

Like most stars in our universe, the Sun is on the main sequence stage of its life. This means nuclear fusion reactions in its core fused hydrogen into helium. However, this process cannot last forever since there is a finite amount of hydrogen in the core of the Sun. Currently it has more than 72% hydrogen.

Imagine you are a geneticist interested in studying a newly discovered species of very colorful birds. You have found that a sin
kolbaska11 [484]

The frequency <em>p</em> of the yellow (A) allele is  <em>p</em>= 0.3

The frequency <em>q</em> of the blue (a) allele is  <em>q= </em><em>0.7</em>

Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium,  states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation. Equilibrium is reached in the absence of selection, mutation, genetic drift and other forces and allele frequencies p and q are constant between generations. In the simplest case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes.  

p²+2*p*q+q²= 1       p+q= 1     q= 1-p

yellow (p²)= 9%= 0.09               p= √0.09= 0.3

green (2*p*q)= 42%= 0.42        

blue (q²)=49%= 0.49                q=1-0.3= 0.7 <em>or</em> q= √0.49= 0.7
