<span>It may be difficult for ecologists to determine the size of a bird population if that population migrates to different locations throughout the year. During migration, some birds may split off from the group and not return, others may die, and still others may join. Therefore, the bird population will be in constant flux. It is hard to know, when the birds return to their prior location, if the population consists of the same group of birds (in addition to deaths and births) or whether it has grown or shrank through other means. However, to estimate the size, an ecologist can track a migratory flock through several years, counting each year to get a general sense of the population size. Additionally, given one measurement, an ecologist could consider the average lifespan and birth rates of the population to extrapolate the size of the population in subsequent years.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is "The common ancestor of coyotes and domestic dogs is more recent than the common ancestor of red foxes and domestic dogs".
Explanation:
One of the fastest way to known if two species have recent common ancestors is to look if they have common taxonomic ranks. In this case we can conclude that The common ancestor of coyotes and domestic dogs is more recent than the common ancestor of red foxes and domestic dogs, because the coyotes (Canis latrans) and the domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) share the same genus (Canis). The common ancestor of foxes and domestic dogs is more ancient because red foxes (Vulpes fulva) do not share the same genus has domestic dogs (Canis familiaris).
Answer:
This:
Explanation:
These adaptive changes help in ways best seen between desert mice and those who live in darker habitats. While desert mice often developed extremely light colored coats to blend best with the environment, mice who live in forest's or valleys often have darker coats to blend with foliage and trees. These coats that help camouflage with the environment protect mice in the open from being snatched by say a eagle or bird of prey. And mice who blend equally with foliage are protected more from ground predators like other small foxes or rodents
Answer:
The addition of a water molecule breaks a covalent bond between sugar monomers
Explanation:
The digestion of carbohydrates by enzymes is an example of a hydrolysis reaction.
Carbohydrates are chains of monosaccharides. Hydrolysis involves the addition of a water molecule that cleaves the covalent bond between the molecules of sugar.
The reverse reaction is a condensation reaction, the joining of sugar monomers to create a carbohydrate releases a molecule of water.
Lactobacillus<span> is a genus of Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic, rod-shaped, non-sporeforming bacteria. They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group (example: they convert sugars to lactic acid).</span>
