Biology
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Which letter in Figure 1 represents meiosis? Why?
SSSSS [86.1K]

The letter D in Figure 1 represents meiosis, while letter A represents mitosis. Meiosis is a reductional cell division.

Mitosis is a type of cell division where a parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells (in this case, diploid cells).

Meiosis is a reductional cell division where a parent cell divides twice to produce four daughter cells having half of the genetic material.

Meiosis occurs in germinal cells, while mitosis occurs in somatic (body) cells.

Rainforest deforestation is contributing to _______.
Nana76 [90]
The correct answer is letter A.

Rainforest deforestation is contributing to a decline in global biodiversity. Irresponsible logging causes the major destruction of many habitats. As a result, many living organisms that are thriving within these forests are displaced or are killed because they no longer have any place where they can thrive and live in peace with their respective species. Deforestation accounts for most of the major catastrophic natural events that we are experiencing at present.
