Several ecology students were tracking the population ranges of two species of squirrels that live in the Cascade Range of Orego

n. These students noted that when both species of squirrels were present in a region, species A could be found from sea level to about 900 feet above sea level, and species B could be found from about 900 feet to 1,500 feet above sea level. However, when species B was found alone, it had a range of about 500 feet to 1,500 feet above sea level. This is an example of ________.

Answer:

The correct answer is competitive exclusion.

Explanation:

According to the principle of competitive exclusion, the two species, which compete for the exact identical resources cannot coexist stably. Of these two competitors, one will always exhibit a slight advantage over the other, which results in the extinction of the second competitor in the prolonged time.  

It can also result in an evolutionary shift of the inferior competitor towards a distinct ecological niche. As an outcome, the competing associated species usually evolve differentiating features in the regions where they both coexist. This helps in mate identification, thus, sustaining the superiority of each species in exploiting somewhat distinct ecological niches.

in a 3-point cross, crossovers that occur during the formation of which gametes can be scored using the phenotype of f2 progeny?
JulsSmile [24]

In gametes generated by F1 tri-hybrids and gametes produced by parents from true-breeding populations.

When non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis, novel allelic combinations are created in the daughter cells. The locations of three genes in the genome of an organism are identified using a three-point cross. A homozygous recessive individual is crossed with a person who is heterozygous for three mutations, and the progeny's phenotypes are graded. When F1 progeny are self-pollinated, a 3:1 ratio of F2 progeny are created.

4. Analyze: Compare the offspring traits to the parent traits.
Oksana_A [137]

Answer: 4a. The transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring is called heredity, and the characteristics that are inherited can be predicted. 4b. An acquired characteristic is a non-heritable change in a function or structure of a living organism caused after birth by disease, injury, accident, deliberate modification, variation, repeated use, disuse, misuse, or other environmental influence. Acquired traits are synonymous with acquired characteristics.
