Answer:

The correct answer is:

population of the predator species is larger and the populations of the prey species are smaller. (C)

Explanation:

apparent competition occurs occurs between two species or group of organisms that do not directly compete for resources affect each other indirectly by being prey to the same predator. For example consider three species of organisms; sparrows, earthworms and beetles, where earthworms and beetles are preys of the sparrows, an increase in the population of earthworms will in the long term lead to an increase in the population of sparrows, which means that more predators will be available, leading to a decrease in the population of beetles, because more predators are available to prey on them. Also a decrease in the population of earthworms will also lead to a decrease in the population of beetles because their probability of being seen by the predators will increase leading to an increase in their killing.

Therefore in apparent competition, although it occurs between two prey species, their in an increase in the number of predators and a decrease in the population of the prey.

"In genetic modifications, DNA inserted can come from _____ ." any organism containing the DNA of interest only the same plasmid

liq [111]

Answer:

<h2> any organism containing the DNA of interest</h2>

Explanation:

Such type of process in which the modification of the genes of the organisms takes place is known as genetic modification and also called genetic manipulation or genetic engineering.
In such type of the process, the branch of biological science that is known as biotechnology is used.
In this mechanism, genes of interest are separated from the certain organism and then this gene of interest is inserted into the host organism and such type of DNA that is formed after the addition of foreign genes or DNA is called recombinant DNA.
Such type of DNA is used in the production of genetically modified organisms and some other fields for the benefit of human beings.

Nitric oxide is a paracrine signal molecule because NO

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

C. is unstable, with a short half life

Explanation:

Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.

Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.
