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.

If the DNA nucleotides read 3'-ATG-CGT-GAC-5', the amino acid sequence of the resulting polypeptide
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

5’ – TAC-GCA-CTG-3’

Explanation:

As per the Chargaff’s complementary base pairing rule purine always pairs with a pyrimidine.  

Purines include adenine (A) and cytosine (C)

Pyrimidine include thymine (T) and guanine (G)

Thus an A always pair with T and C always pair with G

Thus, the resulting poly peptide for the given amino acid sequence is  

3'-ATG-CGT-GAC-5'

5’ – TAC-GCA-CTG-3’

You see an entire pond, with the same plant across most of it. The plant seems to be surviving very well. Which adaptation does
faust18 [17]

Answer: One advantage is, well, the water. There’s plenty of it and it’s all around. Therefore, most aquatic plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water. They can save energy and matter by not growing extensive root systems, vascular tissues, or thick cuticles on leaves. Support is also less of a problem because of the buoyancy of water. As a result, adaptations such as strong woody stems and deep anchoring roots are not necessary for most aquatic plants.

__________ is/are defined as a group of potentially breeding organisms within a species in a given space and time.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Population.

Explanation:

Population may be defined as the smallest unit of ecology and the evolution might occur at the population level.

Population is the group of the organisms that belong to the particular species and lives in a specific particular habitat. The individual of the population breeds among themselves. Sometimes the individual of two different population can also breed among themselves in extreme cases.

Thus, the answer is population.
