Orchids are flowering plants that depend on bees for pollination. A population of orchids in a rainforest has reached its carryi

ng capacity. The size of the rainforest's bee population is a limiting factor of the orchid population. What will happen to the orchids' carrying capacity if the rainforest's bee population decreases? A. The carrying capacity will not change because it is a constant property of a species. B. The carrying capacity will not change because it is a constant property of an ecosystem. C. The carrying capacity will decrease because the level of the limiting factor decreases. D. The carrying capacity will increase because the level of the limiting factor decreases.

Ans.

The carrying capacity of a biological population in is defined as the maximum size of population or number of individuals of that species that can be sustained indefinitely by an environment, given the water, habitat, food and other resources.

Decrease in available resources lead to decrease in carrying capacity of an environment for a population. The rainforest's bee population is a limiting factor for orchid population, decrease in bee population will lead to decrease in orchid population.

Hence, the carrying capacity will decrease due to decrease in limiting factor as the number of orchids that can be sustained by the environment would decreases.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option). C.'

What is the difference between prophase and prometaphase?
maxonik [38]
Each phase has its own steps and is integral to the entire process.prometeaphase is the phase of mitosis following prophase and preceding metaphase, in eukaryotic somatic cells. In prometaphase, the nuclear membrane breaks apart into numerous "membrane vesicles", and the chromosomes inside form protein structures called kinetochores.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Option 1, No. The highest frequency of heterozygotes under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is 0.5

Explanation:

As per Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium principle, the maximum frequency of heterozytotic individuals occur only when half of the population is dominant and recessive homozygous.  

In other way when the sum of frequency of dominant and recessive species is equal to 0.5, only then the frequency of heterozygotes is maximum which in any case would not be higher than 0.5.  

Hence, option 1 is correct

A pregnant mouse is exposed to high levels of a chemical. Many of the mice in her litter are deformed, but when they are interbr
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are- a) In the deformed mice, somatic cells but not germ cells were mutated and  d) The toxic chemical affects development but is not mutagenic.

Explanation:

Mutation in the somatic cells do not pass in the offsprings and the only mutation in the germ cells can pass to the offspring because offspring are produced by the fertilization between different germ cells. Somatic cell mutation can only cause deformation in individuals but their offspring will be like normal offsprings.

The other cause may be that the toxic chemical used don't cause any mutation but just affect the development of mice so in this case genetic material will remain in normal state in deformed mouse and they will able to produce normal offsprings. So the right answer is a and d.
