Answer:

c. Adaptive radiation occurs in the presence of competitors.

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation is a process of diversification in which  new species are originated from an ancestral species due to changes in the enviroment or deu to pressures such as competition for resources that lead organisms to find new niches. For example, if there are many competitors for the same food source, that pressure could lead some organisms to look for a new food source, that, in turn, can lead to the adaptation of their body to the new food source. For example, bird beaks that were specialized for seeds can be adapted for insects.

A man has extra digits (six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot). His wife and their daughter have the normal number
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. 1/2

Explanation:

Extra digits on hands and feet mean an individual has six fingers in each hand and feet, this is known as polydactyly. Polydactyly shows an autosomal dominant type of inheritance pattern.

In this case, the mother is normal so she must be recessive alleles and the first daughter is normal so the father must have a recessive allele which means he is heterozygous.

Cross:

Man = Dd

Woman = dd

Their children :

    D      d

d   Dd    dd  

d  Dd    dd

Probability of polydactyl child = 2/4 or 1/2 or 50%

True or false: The energy contained in the food we eat directly powers all of our cellular activities. If false, please make it
Gwar [14]

Answer:

False

"The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".

Explanation:

The food we eat undoubtedly contains energy. This energy is stored in the bonds of the molecules that make up the food. However, the food undergoes the process of digestion to yield glucose (a sugar). This glucose sugar is used in the process of CELLULAR RESPIRATION to synthesize a form of chemical energy usable by cells called ATP.

ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is a molecule that stores chemical energy in living cells. It is the molecule that directly powers all of our cellular activities. Hence, the statement in this question is FALSE. The correct statement should be "The energy contained in the food we eat is used to synthesize the energy that directly powers all of our cellular activities".

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Due suitable environment and high productivity.

More fish are supplied by fish farming rather than from traditional because farms are build in order to harvest more fish by providing suitable environment to the fish. In transitional ways, fish are caught in nets from the rivers by local people for theirselves and the extra will sold in the market. In rivers there are less number of fish which does not meet the requirements of people so that's why commercial farming of fish can be done.
