A marine ecologist counts the number of octopus in three different intertidal regions that are each two hectares. The octopus co

unts are 7, 2, and 6 respectively. What is the best estimate of population density for this particular species of octopus?

Answer:

The best estimate of population density of this particular Octopus spieces is (TOTAL POPULATION OF THE OCTOPUS)/(TOTAL AREA OF LAND)

Population density = (15/6) Octopus per hectare

Explanation:

To estimate the population density of a spiece in a particular area of land, we count the total number of the specie in the area and divide the total number by the area of the sampling region.

Above, the marine ecologist counts the number of octopus in three different intertidal regions that are each two hectares. The octopus counts are 7, 2, and 6 respectively.

Therefore, the total number of Octopus is 7 + 2 + 6 making 15. The regions are 2 hectares each. Since there are three of the intertidal regions, the total area is 2 x 3(6 hectares).

Therefore, Population density = (15/6) Octopus per hectare

<span>For prokaryotes, most regulatory proteins are negative and therefore turn genes off. It is beneficial by: Vary the numbers of specific enzymes made (regulation of gene expression) Slow, but can have a dramatic effect on metabolic activity Regulate enzymatic pathways (feedback inhibition, allosteric control) Rapid and can be fine-tuned, but if the enzyme system does not have this level of control, then it is useless Prokaryotes are "simple," single celled organisms, so they have "simple" systems Genes are grouped together based on similar functions into functional units called operons MANY GENES UNDER ONE CONTROL!!! There is one single on/off switch for the genes</span> The gene that contains information for the production for that particular enzyme is cut out from a normal person's DNA using special restriction enzymes, which produces 'sticky ends' on the gene. Next, a plasmid (a small molecule of DNA) is removed from a bacteria and mixed with the above gene in the presence of the same restriction enzyme to allow the human gene to fit into the plasmid. Then, heat / electricity is applied to the bacteria to open up the cell membrane so that the plasmid can enter the bacteria. This genetically modified bacteria, now being able to produce that particular enzyme, may be allowed to reproduce in large numbers for the large-scale production of that enzyme for human use.<span><span>answer for question 28 
No change occurs in phenotype.
Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.</span><span>Small change occurs in phenotype.
A single mutation caused this cat's ears to curl backwards slightly.</span><span>Big change occurs in phenotype.
Some really important phenotypic changes, like DDT resistance in insects are sometimes caused by single mutations. A single mutation can also have strong negative effects for the organism. Mutations that cause the death of an organism are called lethals — and it doesn't get more negative than that.

</span>answer for question 30
<span>Gene regulation is needed in the development of multi-cellular organisms because the complexity of animals and plants depends on a remarkable feature of the genetic control system. Cells have a memory: the genes a cell expresses and the way it behaves depend on the cell's past as well as its present environment.

What are the limitations of using fossil in evolution theory. Please answer​
Lapatulllka [165]
The limitations of using fossil in evolution theory are that fossils are rare and only show changes in bones of animals. In many environments the preservation of fossils is hard creating gaps in fossil records that can make identifying change very hard. And when changes present themselves they can be in many forms, such as changing in the soft tissue, coverage and thickness of hair, and changes in organs, all of which can not be preserved by fossilization.

I’m not sure what kind of answer you need but I hope this is sufficient. Hope this helps. Stay healthy and stay safe! :)

How<br> might a sinus infection affect the rest of the respiratory system?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The inability of the sinuses to drain and the associated lack of airflow create an environment that is ideal for bacterial growth. In acute viral sinusitis, the virus that caused the upper respiratory infection has infected the sinuses and continues to produce mucus, inflammation, and congestion.

Which statement is correct about the total mass of glucose formed during photosynthesis?
Bumek [7]

The second one probably because of the law of conservation of mass where mass is not created or destroyed, so the mass has to be the same.
