Over a period of time, the beetles once again reached carrying capacity and sustained it for many years. However, pollution from

a nearby factory leaked into the ecosystem, making 55 hectares of the land uninhabitable to the beetles. Predict how the estimated carrying capacity will change and explain your reasoning for your estimation.

Answer:

As the beetles have a uniform distribution, at a carrying capacity of 14,600 beetles, there are about 128 beetles per hectare. Because 55 hectares are now unlivable, the carrying capacity would decrease by about 7,040 individuals (55 × 128).

Therefore, the carrying capacity of the ecosystem will be (old carrying capacity – decrease in carrying capacity) = (14,600 – 7,040) = 7,560 beetles.

Which two organisms are most closely related, based on the tree above?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Rodents and primates.

Explanation:

Given diagram represents a phylogenetic tree, which shows evolutionary relationships between organisms. The nodes in the tree denotes the ancestral lineage, while the tips of its branches denotes descendants evolved from that ancestor.

According to given tree, rodents and primates share most common recent ancestor as these branches are evolved from a common node and so, they are most closely related organisms.

What happens if a species fails to adapt to its environment?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Evolution of species over a long duration happens due to adaptive learning of organisms in new environments. If the organism is flexible in different physiological environments, it will evolve. The metabolic processes change according the environment to an extent. Like breathing at a high altitude when Oxygen content is less.

Explanation:

a) The allele for hemophilia is Xh and that for normal is XH.

Crossing a hemophiliac male, Xh Y, with a normal female XH XH,

  • XH Xh, normal carrier female
  • XH Xh, normal carrier female
  • XH Y, normal male
  • XH Y, normal male

b) Both parents are normal and children still having hemophilia means that the mother is a carrier.

Let's see how it'll work out if we cross a normal male with a carrier female,

XH Y × XH Xh

  • XH XH, normal female
  • XH Xh, carrier female
  • XH Y, normal male
  • Xh Y, hemophiliac male

This means that the possibility of a female being normal, a carrier or not, is 100%. The possibility of a male being normal is 50% and the possibility of him being a hemophiliac is also 50%.

Thus it's possible that all 7 sons get hemophilia as each male baby has a 50% chance of having the genotype Xh Y. And it makes sense that all the females are normal. Those females could have the genotypes XH XH, or XH Xh (carriers).
