Do predators really kill only the old and sick prey? What evidence is there for this statement

Georgia [21]3 years ago

No, but it is known that old/sick prey is much easier to catch. The evidence is that, say, there's no old and sick prey. The predator has to eat regardless, and whatever is there for it to take, it will. Think of a lion and a zebra, and the zebra is eating grass in the middle of a field. The lion is going to take that chance.

Nope predator catches the preys they find not only the old and sick one but the old and sick prey would be catch more easily as compared to the healthy and strong ones

You are on vacation and see an organism that you do not recognize. discuss what possible steps you can take to classify it.
bija089 [108]

Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism, begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the same function as those found on other species.

In order to correctly classify an organism, scientists use many modern tools.

1.Morphology describes the physical characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place the organism within a domain and kingdom.

2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.

3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to group organisms that share common fetal development.

<span>4.Evolutionary phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.</span>These relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from ancestor to new species. Traits may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits (shared genes).

Features of the experiment that inadvertently lead participants to respond in a particular manner is a definition of
Delvig [45]

Answer:

It is a definition of demand characteristics.

Explanation:

The term demand characteristics originated in Martin Orne's work as the test group understood what was the investigation and acted consequently. Thus, the way an experiment is built may lead participants to answer unconsciously to what they believe the researcher wants. When the participants form a notion of where the experiment is heading, they probably behave accordingly. One way to avoid the effects of demand characteristics on research is to use deception and guide participant to act more naturally as they cannot guess the purpose of the experiment.

Which of the following lists steps of mRNA production in eukaryotes in the correct order?A) 5' cap addition, addition of poly-A
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The correct answer is B) Transcription, 5' cap addition, addition of poly-A tail, exon splicing, passage through nuclear membrane.

Explanation:

The transcription process in eukaryotes takes place in the nucleus of the cell and after transcription post-transcriptional modification also takes place in the nucleus which is necessary to guide the mRNA out of the nucleus.

First, the process of transcription takes place in which DNA is transcribed to mRNA by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. After transcription post-transcriptional modifications takes place in the given order.

1. Capping: In capping process 7-methylguanosine is added by capping enzyme at 5' end of mRNA.

2. Polyadenylation: In polyadenylation, many poly-A residues are added at the 3' end of the mRNA called the poly-A tail.

3. Intron splicing: Introns are the non-coding sequence present in mRNA which are spliced out of mRNA and all exons are joined together.

After these post-transcriptional process, the mature mRNA is transported out of the nucleus through the nuclear membrane.
