The Yellowstone River ecosystem can support 2,300 bald eagles. This is an example of temperate- zone ecosystems

Explanation:

Yellowstone National Park is a natural paradise with over 70 species of birds,which include trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, loons, peregrine falcons, osprey and bald eagles

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, with Yellowstone at its core, is one of the largest nearly intact temperate- zone ecosystems on Earth. It has an area of 12–22 million acres; 18,750– 34,375 square miles

Temperate ecosystems are the ecosystem that are characterized by the seasonality in temperature, with cooler winters and warmer summers, and also show various seasonality in precipitation patterns, resulting from seasonal changes in the orientation of Earth's axis relative to the sun.

When calculating heritability in finch beak size using parent/offspring data, we find that 70 percent of the variation in the tr

kow [346]

Answer:

A. nutrition

Explanation:

The most likely explanation for the remainder of the variation would be nutrition. Little is known about how exactly nutrition affects genetics and heritability, but it is known that it does. Scientists believe that traits that allow a species to feed more successfully have a drastically increased chance of appearing in offspring as it greatly contributes to their survival. When a trait does not allow the species to gain the proper nutrition, the species tends to develop other traits to accomplish this which then get passed on to offspring.

What is the most common sign during an initial assessment that alerts the nurse that the patient has chronic obstructive pulmona

Anastasy [175]

1
RATIONALE: 
The patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) develops a barrel chest over time because trapped air enlarges the lungs and thoracic cavity, thereby reducing chest flexibility. Sunken chest, also known as funnel chest or pectus excavatum, is not related to COPD. Hyperventilation is not characteristically seen with COPD. Instead, the patient usually displays persistent dyspnea on exertion, with or without a chronic cough. Circumoral cyanosis is a bluish discoloration of the skin surrounding the mouth. It is usually an indication of a severely diminished level of oxygen and respiratory distress. Circumoral cyanosis can result from a variety of respiratory diseases and may be a late sign of the COPD disease process.

Using a refillable beverage container (returnable bottles) would be an example of __________ materials.

lilavasa [31]

Using a refillable beverage container (returnable bottles) would be an example of reusing materials.
There are three R's used for waste disposal: recycle, reuse and reduce. Reusing is a great technique used to eliminating waste materials and to protect the environment. There are many items or materials in our homes that we can reuse again and again.
