Answer:

Explanation:

(a) interspecific competition: It is a kind of competition that occurs between the individuals that belong to different species competing for the same resource in an ecosystem. For example, lion and tiger populations thriving for the same type of prey that is deer population.

(b) intraspecific competition: Interspecific competition occurs between the members of the same population competing for limited resources. For example, trees of the same species competing for the sunlight and soil nutrients.

(c) predation: It is an ecological interaction that occurs between the superior or inferior species. One animal kills other animal to obtain it as a source of food. For example a tiger kills a deer to obtain it as food.

(d) territoriality: It is a quality of a species or a population of species to obtain the geographical area to an extent or limit where no other species or population can intrude. For example, lion shows the territory behavior to protect their children from predators.

(e) symbiosis: It is a type of biological interaction in which two species lives in association with each other. This interaction can be mutualistic, parasitic or commensalistic. For example, a lice sucking blood from animal is an example of parasitic symbiosis.

How does making nectar help flowers become pollinated
aalyn [17]
Nectar attracts bees and other pollinators to the flowers and then the pollen gets stuck to the pollinator. Once the pollinator goes to a different flower, the pollen that was originally on the pollinator goes onto the present flower. That is how nectar helps flowers become pollinated

Answer: B. Tendon

Explanation:

A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. While a ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

A bursa is a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The plural of bursa is bursae. There are 160 bursae in the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.

A fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue, primarily collagen, beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs. From the various definitions given above shows that the tendon is the correct answer to the question asked.

A gene has 2 alleles, R & B, List the possible genotypes? I also need help with questions 5, 6, 7 and 8 please help! Pls loo
irakobra [83]

Answer:

5.) The possible genotypes should be: RR RB BB ( if the could for the same proteins)

6.) Frequency of R: 0.5

7.)Frequency of R: 0.5

8.)Frequency of R: 0.375

Explanation:

5.) If R and B code for the different forms of the same protein then they are only a few possible out comes

6.) First calculate the total alleles in population

allele R= 40

Allele B=40

total allele = R+B= 40+40

=80

Now to find allele R frequency is:

(Total R alleles) / (Total allele in pop)

40/80=

0.5

7.)Calculate the total alleles

Alleles from for R

RR= 10

R=10x 2= 20

Multiply the value by 2 because there are 2 R alleles present in

RB=20

R=20

Number doesn't change there is only 1 R allele

Total R=20+20

=40

Alleles For B

BB=10

B=10×2

=20

Same thing here, two B alleles together so multiple by 2

RB=20

B=20

Total B= 20+20

=40

Total alleles in pop add

40+40

=80

Frequency of R

Total of R/Total Alleles

=40/80

=0.5

8.)Repeat the same thing in 7 but use different numbers

RR=10

R=10x2

=20

RB=10

R=10

Total R= 20+10

=30
