The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the term ADAPTIVE RADIATION. African cichlids are a group of closely related fish species. There are at least 500 known species living in three small lakes. Over time, specialized teeth and body colorations have evolved for each species in response to mutations and competition for food and mates. This change over time is an example of ADAPTIVE RADIATION. Adaptive radiation by definition, is <span>the diversification of a group of organisms into forms filling different ecological niches.</span>
Answer: 1. a. logistics model of growth
2. a. environmental conditions
3. b. all limiting factors
4. b. water availability
Explanation:
1. a. logistic model of growth will show the increase in population of a species in accordance with the carrying capacity exponentially but when the population will experience the scarcity of resources it will decline considerably.
Carrying capacity is the total number of members of the population of a species that an ecosystem can sustain by providing resources.
2. b. All environmental conditions which favor the survival of the living beings will contribute to the carrying capacity for example food, water, shelter, and other resources.
3. b. Limiting factor is the one which limit the chances of survival and growth of a particular species in an ecosystem. For example, scarcity of food, here food is the limiting factor.
4. d. A density dependent limiting factor is the one which affects the population of the species based upon the density. The water availability is a density dependent limiting factor because the more the density or abundance of a population more will be the scarcity of water as it will be required by all organisms. So, the species population may experience decline due scarcity of water.
Answer:
Its (D) Volcanic Eruption
Explanation:
Answer:
C. Independent variable
Explanation:
The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experimenter manipulates or changes in order to effect a measurable response in the dependent variable.
According to this question, an experiment is conducted to determine what concentration of disinfectant is most effective in killing bacteria. The independent variable is the CONCENTRATION OF DISINFECTANT because it is the variable being changed or manipulated.
