Tropical rainforests have high species richness of trees. Which of the following statements provides the MOST reasonable explana

tion why animal species richness is also high in tropical rainforests? Animals have diversified into the vast number of niches provided by tree diversity. Animal diversification rates are higher than those of trees. Animals have had the same amount of time to evolve in rainforest areas as trees. Animals are unable to adapt to climate variability in higher latitudes.

Answer:

The MOST reasonable explanation is that<em> animals have diversified into the vast number of niches provided by tree diversity</em>.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest as a biome is located in areas near the equator, where precipitations are abundant and the average temperature is elevated most of the year. As a result of the climatic conditions, this biome gives shelter to a huge number of living organisms. Also, the canopy structure provides many refuges for plants and animals and is an important source of food. It also favors interactions between species. For example, there are too many plant species that live in trees, such as bromeliads,  and at the same time they provide refuge to other small animals, like frogs.

There are also too many species in the rainforest that have not been discovered yet.

Which statement correctly describes amphipathic (or amphiphilic) helices and sheets?Helices are typically hydrophilic on one sur
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last statement.

Explanation:

Amphipathic refers to a substance that comprises both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Thus, the given first three statements are incorrect. The amphipathic helices are witnessed on the proteins surfaces in which the hydrophilic region associates with the aqueous phase and the hydrophobic regions associate with the hydrophobic component of the protein.  

Both the amphipathic sheets and helices exhibit primarily the hydrophobic or hydrophilic residues on one face. Thus, the correct answer is the last statement.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

12 : 3 : 1

Explanation:

According to Mendel's principles, a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous summer squash parents (WwGg X WwGg) should yield offsprings, 12 with white, 3 with yellow and  1 with green color phenotype. The classic Mendelian phenotypic ratio for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. In this case, genotypes W- G- and W- gg produce white color phenotype. This is because we have 12: 3: 1 phenotypic ratio in which the alleles of two different genes assort independently into gametes.

<em>Dihybrid cross for heterozygous summer squash:</em>

                    WG         Wg            wG            wg          

    WG      WWGG   WWGg     WwGG     WwGg

    Wg       WWGg   WWgg     WwGg      Wwgg

    wG        WwGG    WwGg     wwGG      wwGg

      wg       WwGg    Wwgg     wwGg        wwgg

   Genotypes:

   W-G-  and W- gg  = white = 12

    ww G- = yellow = 3

     ww gg = green = 1

wariber [46]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - there will be wild type and double mutant (contains both the deletion mutation and the point mutation)

Explanation:

It is mention that the deletion mutation and point mutation are non-overlapping or no overlapping regions in the phage genome. A crossing-over event between the regions of these two mutations would get wild-type which means there would be neither point mutation nor deletion mutation and other would be a double mutant that contains both mutation - the point mutation and the deletion mutation.

Thus, the correct answer is - there will be wild type and double mutant (contains both the deletion mutation and the point mutation)
