Some species of dolphins find their prey by echolocation; they emit clicking sounds and listen for echoes returning from distant

objects in the water. Marine biologists have speculated that those same clicking sounds might have a second function: particularly loud clicks might be used by the dolphins to stun their prey at close range through sensory overload. Which of the following, if discovered to be true, would cast the most serious doubt on the correctness of the speculation described above?
(A) Dolphins that use echolocation to locate distant prey also emit frequent clicks at intermediate distances as they close in on their prey.
(B) The usefulness of echolocation as a means of locating prey depends on the clicking sounds being of a type that the prey is incapable of perceiving, regardless of volume.
(C) If dolphins stun their prey, the effect is bound to be so temporary that stunning from far away even if possible, would be ineffective.
(D) Echolocation appears to give dolphins information about the richness of a source of food as well as about its direction.
(E) The more distant a dolphin's prey, the louder the echolocation clicks must be if they are to reveal the prey's presence to the hunting dolphin.

Answer:

(B) The usefulness of echolocation as a means of locating prey depends on the clicking sounds being of a type that the prey is incapable of perceiving, regardless of volume.

If the prey can't really hear the echolocation, there is no potential for "sensory overload," which would discredit the theory that they stun their prey. It sounds pretty cool, but I feel like the speculation is probably unfounded.

Why are telomeres problematic for eukaryotic chromosome replication? a) They are highly repetitive and thus hard to replicate co
Natalka [10]

Answer: Option E

Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.

Explanation:

Telomere refers to either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome.

Usually, in eukaryote chromosome replication, telomeres are not replicated.

Hence, they are usually lost resulting in the shortening of the telomere ends after repeated cycle of cell division. This also leads to cell aging and stoppage of cell division.

The shortening of telomere combined with stoppage of cell division, and cell aging initiation prevent CANCER, which thrives on lengthy telomeres

Why factors are cause of short-term climate change
laiz [17]

Answer:

6 factors that cause short term climate change...

Explanation:

Latitude - depends on how far or close to the equator it is

Ocean currents - Certain ocean currents have different temperatures.

Wind and air masses. Heated ground causes air to rise which results in lower air pressure. As it rises it cools and descends to the ground resulting in high air pressure.

Elevation. The higher up you are, the colder and drier it will be. When air rises it expands due to low air pressure which causes it to cool.

Relief. The differences in the elevation inland. As air is forced to rise over a piece of land, the temperature decreases and condensation increases.

Nearness to water. The water heats up and cools down slower than land does, having a moderating effect. On colder days, the water heats up the land, whereas on hotter days, the land is cooled down by the water.
