Answer:

The actual  velocity of the canoe is 17 mi/hr in downward direction.  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of canoe, v_c=5\ mi/hr (downstream)

Velocity of stream, v_s=12\ mi/hr    

We need to find the actual velocity of the canoe. Let it is equal to v. As it is clear that both velocities are in same direction. So, the actual velocity of the canoe is given by the sum of velocity of canoe and the stream.

v=v_c+v_s

v=5+12

v = 17 mi/hr

Since, the velocity is positive. It means it is in downstream direction. So, the correct option is (d) "17 mi/hr, downstream".

Which would be a consequence of the removal of predators from a population such as the Trinidadian guppy population?a .The nitro
natulia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "Guppy color patterns would change; guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring; the nitrogen excretion rate would increase and the rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase".

Explanation:

The Trinidadian guppy is a species of fish with the scientific name <em>Poecilia reticulata</em>. Just like almost all species, its population is regulated for multiple factors, one of them being the presence of predators. The removal of Trinidadian guppy predators would result in multiple consequences:

- Guppy color patterns would change. The fish have a complex coloration determined largely by predation avoidance.

- Guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring. This adaptation has been proved in an experiment at which the fish was introduced one a low predation environment. The report proved that evolution can take place in less than 10 years.

- The nitrogen excretion rate would increase. It has been reported that predation reduce Trinidadian guppy nitrogen excretion by 40%. Removing the predators will case the nitrogen excretion rate to increase due to an increase in the fish food intake.

- The rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase. This is an effect of the increase of nitrogen excretion rate, which benefits algae population to growth.

Svetach [21]

Answer: the correct option is B (predators localized to a particular habitat

Explanation: the ecological factor that would fail to exert pressure on a species of anole lizards to evolve into new species of ecomorphs is predators localised to a particular habitat. Ecomorphs are local variety of species whose appearance is determined by its ecological environment.

Accessibility to cooling mud baths, availability of and competition for food, appropriate areas for shelter and nesting has to do with its surroundings and environment and thus affects is evolution. Hope this helps. Thanks.
