If we take the five years of rainfall given in the table as representative of the rainfall variability of the study area, then we can say that dry years are years with rainfall of 100 cm/year of less, whereas wet years are greater than 100 cm/year. We see from the table, that during the dry years, the chicory seems to be outcompeting the sweet pea, whereas during the wet years, the sweet pea outcompetes the chicory. So given this limited information, we can predict that the chicory would dominate. However, it must be pointed out that to derive a scientifically-defensible conclusion, we would need more replicates (study plots) studied over a longer time period.
Answer: Only Options A, C and E are correct
A) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population
C) Sympatric speciation does not require geographic isolation.
E) Sympatric speciation can be due to sexual(mate) selection
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is a random or naturally occurring event whereby organisms of the same species:
> live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e not living in isolation)
> DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory which results in an uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species of the parents organisms.
Answer:
Heart attack
Explanation:
Heart attack is the death of a part of heart muscles and severe pain that causes heart constriction having pain in the chest which spread to the left shoulder and down the arm thereby causing the feeling of pressure in the chest.
This is caused when a blood clots blocks blood flow to the heart thereby leading makes the tissue to loss oxygen and die.
The symptom of heart attack are;
pain in the chest, neck, back or arms, fatigue, lightheadedness, abnormal heartbeat and anxiety, nausea.
Treatment ranges from surgery, medication , rehabilitation e.t.c.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. is a system that differentiates self from nonself to neutralize harmful invaders.
Explanation:
A defense system that protects the host body from pathogen infection is called the immune system. This immune system is made up of many different barriers which helps in preventing illness from pathogen attack.
Physical and chemical barriers provide the first line of defense to the body for example skin, mucous membrane, lysozyme in saliva provide first line of defence. Second line of defense is provided by non-specific immune cells like mast cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, etc.
The third line of defense is provided by pathogen-specific immune cells like T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. These cells have the ability to differentiate self and non-self cell and kills the non-self cell that come from outside the body.
