Answer: a. disease

b. food availability

d. reproductive success

f. predation

g. light availability (to plants)

h. physical space

Explanation:

The density dependent factors are the factors which effects the population of a species depending upon it's size or growth. The following are the density dependent factors.

a. disease: A disease is a density dependent factor this is because of the fact that a disease can spread directly when the population size is large.

b. food availability: With the increase in the size of the population will increase the demand for food. This can cause scarcity of food, the population will decline.

d. reproductive success: The increase in the size of population will increase the likelihood of mating success hence, this will support reproductive success.

f. predation: The large population of prey will attract the population of predators hence, the population of the prey will decrease due to large density.

g. light availability (to plants): The increase in plants typically of tall height can affect the light availability to the small plants.Thus the population of small plants will die due to the fact that they will not receive sunlight.

h. physical space: The physical space is the area occupied by the organism as a habitat. With the increase in density of the population of a species the competition for physical space will increase which will lead to the decline in the size of the population.

What are some adaptations that humans have? Or... any animal?
Elodia [21]

Adaptations in humans can be physiological, genetic, or cultural, which allow people to live in a wide variety of climates.

frez [133]
Air temperature: When temperatures (and the humidity) soar, the heart pumps a little more blood, so your pulse rate may increase, but usually no more than five to 10 beats a minute.<span>Body position: Resting, sitting or standing, your pulse is usually the same. Sometimes as you stand for the first 15 to 20 seconds, your pulse may go up a little bit, but after a couple of minutes it should settle down. Emotions: If you’re stressed, anxious or “extraordinarily happy or sad” your emotions can raise your pulse. </span><span>Body size: Body size usually doesn’t change pulse. If you’re very obese, you might see a higher resting pulse than normal, but usually not more than 100. </span><span>Medication use: Meds that block your adrenaline (beta blockers) tend to slow your pulse, while too much thyroid medication or too high of a dosage will raise it.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The lack of Mad1 protein can cause faster cell division.

Explanation:

The Mad1 protein is responsible for regulating the fixation of chromosomes in spindle microtubules, during cell division. With the presence of this protein, anaphase is prevented from starting while the spindle, where the chromosomes attach, is formed.

Without this protein, this check is not done and cell division occurs faster, which is one of the reasons why cell division can be accelerated.
