In the hypothesis that C. stellatus (a species of barnacle) is competitively excluded from the lower intertidal zone by B. balan

oides (another species of barnacle), what could be concluded about the two species? The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides and C. stellatus are both identical. The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides and C. stellatus are both different. The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are different, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are identical. The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are identical, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are different.

<h2>Competitive exclusion principle.</h2>

Explanation:

The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are identical, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are different.

All the possible combination of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce is called its fundamental niche. Whereas, the more limited set of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce in the presence of competitors and predators is termed as its realized niche.

Competitive exclusion principle states that if two competing species coexist in a stable, homogeneous environment, then they do so as a result of differentiation in their realized niche.

<em>B. balanoides</em> can use a wider range of resources than<em> C. stellatus </em>because its fundamental and realized niches are identical . Hence thrives to exclude C.stellatus.

How is neuron like and different from a blood cell
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Neurons are similar to other cells because neurons have a cell membrane, a nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, organelles, and carry out processes such as energy production.

Neurons differ from other cells because neurons have extensions called axons and dendrites, they communicate with each other through an electrochemical process which we just talked about, and neurons have specialized structures such as synapses and chemicals such as neurotransmitters.

A species of elm has winged-seeds. How would biologists explain how a species of elm with winged-seeds evolved from an ancestral
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

In an ancestral elm species, mutations gave rise to the phenotypic trait "winged-seeds". Subsequently, selection favored elm plants with winged-seeds that diverged over time to become a separate species

Explanation:

A mutation is a genetic change in the DNA sequence. In general, mutations have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual (i.e., mutations are generally deleterious) and therefore they disappear from the population. However, there are situations where mutations are beneficial and confer an adaptive advantage, thereby increasing their frequency in the population. In this case, mutations associated with the formation of winged-seeds conferred an adaptive advantage (i.e., higher seed dispersal capacity) to individuals who had this phenotypic trait, thereby these individuals had more chances to reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. Eventually, Elm plants with winged-seeds accumulated sufficient genetic differences to prevent interbreeding, leading to the formation of a separate species.
