The seahorse is found in many different locations around North and South America. They are typically located in the shallow tropical waters that are quite warm. They will be found living along the coral, the sea grass, and the mangroves. In Europe they are known to reside in the Thames estuary. Many of the larger species are living in the Mediterranean Sea.

Many species of seahorses are very territorial. The males often have about 11 square feet of territory. The females have up to 1,100 square feet. What they live though will influence how much area they have. In many regions that habitat range has gotten smaller and smaller.

In captivity the seahorses will be limited to a large aquarium. This can be a huge change in home range habitat for them. That is why the stress levels are very high and the survival rate low. Young in a captive state are more likely to do well because they haven’t become accustomed to the wide territory.

As a result the seahorses living in a given area have become more aggressive. They have also suffered from higher stress levels and more forms of disease. The aggressive behavior is typically when males are looking for females that they can mate with. It is also common when they are fighting for territory or food and that extends to both genders.

Aneuploidy can result in the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers fail to pull a chromosome toward the pole as in case of non-disjunction.

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is a condition which arises when one or more chromosome is missing in the final daughter cells.

Non-disjunction refers to the failure of chromosomal or chromatid segregation or separation during cell division. This results in erroneous meiosis or mitosis leading to the formation of final daughter cells or gametes with an extra or missing chromosome. This condition is aneuploidy.

Failure of separation or segregation of:

Homologous chromosomes occur in Anaphase I, affects four daughter cells.
Sister chromatids during Anaphase II, affects two daughter cells

This failure of separation leads to aneuploidy chromosomal abnormalities like monosomy, trisomy, etc which can cause diseases like Down’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome etc.

There are two different species of finch that live on the same small island, species A andspecies

frosja888 [35]

On the islands of the Galapagos lives a group of birds called finches. There are 13 species in this group. These species have diverse ecologies--some eat seeds, some eat insects, some eat fruit, and some even eat cactus. Although the bodies of these species look fairly similar, their beaks are very different. That is because it is their beak that is adapted to these diverse ways of feeding (Figure 8.14).

I think it’s competition, since they both need to compete to get the nectar.
