Please Help ASAP. Lionfish are a predatory fish that are commonly kept in home aquaria. However, when people are no longer able

to care for these fish, they often release them into the ocean. This introduces a non-native species into an area where it should not be. Explain how a lionfish population could become quickly established in a new habitat, and how additional predation and competition from lionfish may negatively affect the biodiversity of that habitat.

Since lionfish introduced to the ocean are not native they have very few predators, so they may eat the fish that were previously at the top of the food chain. If that were to happen then these organisms will multiply too quickly and that would lead to an imbalanced ecosystem. Lionfishes are a huge treat for ocean and if left unchecked they can cause the destruction of the reefs and native fish stocks.

The answer is; B


Mutation is one source of variation (in addition to sex and gene flow). Mutations are rare and occur in a small proportion of individuals. However, due to the advantage that the genetic mutation confers to these individuals, their chances of passing the genes to the next generation is higher than that of the general population.

This way, the allelic frequencies of these advantageous mutated genes increase with each generation and eventually become the majority population over time.

The continuous use in aesthetics and other medical procedures of botulinum toxin is known, however there is no scientific evidence to support the doses necessary to kill a cell in humans, it is known that this toxin is measured in units of mouse oMU, referring a unit of notulin toxin is equivalent to 0.05 nanograms, with a lethal dose in mice of 0.00000033 mg and for humans from 1 to 2 µg.

It is known that in terms of its mechanism of action, it occurs by blocking the acetylcholine output of the presynaptic neuron, which generates muscle paralysis, making it possible to recover after approximately 3 months.

2. Which body of water does not directly contribute water vapor into the atmosphere?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

a) aquifers

Explanation:

Looking at the answers choices, 3 of the answers have something in common. Oceans, rivers, and lakes all have their surfaces exposed to the atmosphere—including the direct path to the sun. This means that they evaporate the most into the atmosphere.

Aquifers are underground wells, meaning they only evaporate slightly into the atmosphere due to high levels of heat energy. However, they stay mostly underground and are not in the direct path of the sun's energy.
