It takes energy and resources for a stickleback to develop spines. Thus, over time pelvic spines would not be retained in stickl

eback populations unless they provide some kind of selective advantage. Using this knowledge, would you agree with the following statement: "In Bear Paw Lake having pelvic spines does not seem to provide the same selective advantage as it does to stickleback living in the ocean."
(a) Agree
(b) Disagree

(a) Agree

It is probable that less sticklebacks will have pelvic spines in Bear Paw Lake, as it is a smaller region without as much competition. Predators may be much lower in such an environment, eliminating a need for such protection. In the ocean, however, there is much biodiversity and competition, so the fish need pelvic spines to protect themselves.

3.Why should a model of the carbon cycle include the burning of fossil fuels?(1 point)
user100 [1]

Answer:

Burning fossil fuels moves carbon from the geosphere to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

  • Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are produced and stored in the geosphere. i.e. the part of the Earth that includes the Earth's interior, landforms, rocks and minerals.
  • Fossil fuels, extracted from the geosphere are burned to generate energy.
  • Combustion of fossil fuels releases the stored carbon into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.

Will give brainliest plz help <br> Answer 12 plz
Ivan

Answer:

Abiotic factors, such as temperature, water, sunlight amounts, and regional terrain, directly effect biotic factors. Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem which include primary producers, consumers, and dexomposers.

Abiotic factors can effect organisms in many ways. Hey can effect primary producers negatively if there is too little sun, water, or nutrients in the soil. However, if there is too much of any one of these, they can still be negatively effected. With primary producers, it’s all about balance.

while consumers do not directly require the above conditions, they do rely on the plants and animals that feed on said plants to survive. If the plants do not have correct nutrients, they will not either. As far as terrain goes, they adapt to better cope with the environment. If they live in an aquatic enviromment for example, they acquire ways to more efficiently move through the water to look for food.

Decomposers rely on the remains of dead plants and animals in order to survive. They feed off of dead matter and the waste gets deposited into the soil. This in turn helps to give the soil its nutrients, and so the cycle continues.

Everything in nature is reliant on each other. This delicate balancing act is both beautiful and so very fragile. If one organism is removed, the entire ecosystem could suffer. This is why it is so critical to protect the environment we share with every other living creature on this earth.
