A population is growing at a rate of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. Which type of growth does this describe?

Troyanec [42]

The owl is a generalists creature/species because it is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources (for example, a heterotroph with a varied diet). A specialist species can only thrive in a narrow range of environmental conditions or has a limited diet. Most organisms do not all fit neatly into either group, however. Some species are highly specialized (the most extreme case being monophagy), others less so, while some can tolerate many different environments. In other words, there is a continuum from highly specialized to broadly generalist species.

How is the concept of homeostasis related to disease and aging provide examples?

Alinara [238K]

Answer;

-Because of Homeostatic imbalance as we age our body organs become less efficient, and our internal conditions become less and less stable. This event has a risk for illness and produce changes we associate with aging.

Explanation;

-Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment even though the outside world is constantly changing. It involves both positive feedback Loops and the negative Feedback loops.

-Aging is a general example of disease as a result of homeostatic imbalance. As an organism ages, weakening of feedback loops gradually results in an unstable internal environment. This lack of homeostasis increases the risk for illness and is responsible for the physical changes associated with aging.

You are observing different tissue samples and classifying the cells into their respective stage in the cell cycle. What can you

svp [43]

We have been given that different tissue samples are in their respective stage of cell cycle.

Ans is option B because cancerous cells tend to divide indefinitely regardless of the presence or absence of growth factors. In cancerous cells G0 check points fail and the cells are always in some stage of mitosis i.e. cell is supposed to be in any of the following stages of mitosis :

1) Prophase

2) Metaphase

3) Anaphase

4) Telophase

1. Most familiar life forms live in regions of biomes that humans inhabit. (1 point)

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1. The first statement is true. A biome is defined as a large set of naturally occurring plants and animals occupying a major habitat. For e.g. forest, dessert, grasslands etc.

2. The given statement is True. Biodiversity is defined as the variety of plants and animals exists or existed in the world or in any specific habitat. The high level of biodiversity is important and beneficial for the environment.

3. This statement is False. Outside force such as earthquake, zone hole etc can certainly cause changes in the organism. For example, UV rays can cause cancer in an organism, dark colorization of peppered moth during industrial revolution.

4. It is True as species is defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreed and share common characteristics. It is the basic unit of biological classification. For example, <em>sapiens </em>is the species of human being.

5. Yes, the given statement is true. Charles Robert Darwin famous naturalist, biologist, and geologist. He was best known for his work in the field of evolution and gave the theory of natural selection. He is also known as the father of evolution.

6. No, all scientists were not agreed with Charles Darwin, for example, Lamarck, Weismann etc. However, Neo-Darwinism was much more accepted that Darwin original theory. Hence, the given statement is false.

7. Natural selection is one of the process of evolution. It sates that organisms better suited and adapted to their environment have better chances of survival. Organisms acquire new characteristics over the generations in order to adapt in a environment. Hence, the given statement is false.

8. The statement is true. However, recently it has been found that there are some bacteria which can inhabit the extreme conditions. They are known as extremophiles, for example, halophiles, thermophiles etc.

9. Yes the statement is true. These organisms are known as extremophiles, for example, halophiles (which live in high saline conditions), thermophiles (can live in high temperatures) etc.

10. This statement is false as there are many species which have not been discovered yet.
