Is it possible for a whale in captivity to live after it has been realsed

Biology
1 answer:
koban [17]4 years ago
4 0
The possibility of release is only possible if the whale has only been in captivity for a short time. An example of this is Springer, the killer whale that was treated for emaciation and nursed back to health before being rehabitated and ruined to their pod. For orcas like the whales at Seaworld (which has just been banned from further breeding! Yay!), these whales are unable to be released as they have been in captivity their whole life. All animals, including marine mammals, can be imprinted by human interaction. Captive whales are accustomed to being fed by humans and do not know how to fend for themselves in the wild. If they were released into the wild, these tame whales may attack boats and humans, thinking they will feed them and inevitably starve to death because they are unable to hunt. Whales live in pods otherwise known as their whole life. They hunt and feed with them. If a captive whale were to be released, it would be unable to hunt as they wouldn't have a pod that would assist them.

What is the fitness advantage for the angiosperm approach to the formation of nutritive tissue?
kiruha [24]
<span>An advantage for the angiosperm approach to the formation of nutritive tissue is in energy conservation.</span> <span>The nutritive tissue is formed via double fertilization in Angiosperms. The advantage of double fertilization is that the plant does not invest energy in seed nutritive tissue until after an egg has been fertilized. This means that endosperm (nutritive tissue) starts to develop and store nutrients after it has been fertilized by a sperm cell.</span> Another advantage is that the endosperm nucleus is very active and <span>divides rapidly, so it forms the nutritive tissue very quickly.</span>

Jean Baptist's Lamarck was a pioneer in the field of biology. He is most famous for coming up with a theory to explain how lovin
lutik1710 [3]

Answer and Explanation:

According to this theory, the young of a species may inherit certain physical characteristics which their parents acquired in the course of their daily lives. According to Lamarck, modern giraffes evolved from short-necked ancestors. The long necks develop as a result of stretching to reach the leaves of tall trees. The offspring of these giraffes inherited the long necks.

Lamarck's assumption of acquisition of characteristics by individuals in the course of their lifetimes is true. However, the passing of these traits to their offspring is not true. Acquired characteristics do not cause any alteration whatsoever in the hereditary information contained in the chromosomes. This theory is therefore not valid.
