European Starlings have a significant impact on their environment because they congregate in such large numbers. They probably play a role in seed dispersal because of their consumption of a wide variety of fruits. European Starlings also control some insect populations, but since they will eat almost anything they cannot be relied upon to eat only pests. Insects they are known to feed on include the larvae of craneflies (Tipulidae) and moths (Lepidoptera) as well as mayflies (Ephemeroptera), dragonflies and damsel flies (Odonata), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), earwigs (Dermaptera), lacewings (Neuroptera), caddis flies (Trichoptera), flies (Diptera), sawflies, ants, bees and wasps (Hymenoptera) and beetles (Coleoptera). They will also eat small vertebrates such as lizards and frogs, as well as snails (Gastropoda) and earthworms (Annelida). European Starlings have a particular technique of inserting their closed bill into the ground or an object and then prying the bill open, creating a small hole. This allows them to forage efficiently in soil and among roots as well as in feed troughs and on the backs of ungulates where they search for ectoparisites.
Experiments are often replicated or repeated even when no obvious mistake was visible. This is to establish how variable results are. Statistically, multiple runs are used to determine the variance or standard deviation around the average value. The best answer for this is choice C, to double check results.
Answer:
An organism which has two different alleles of the gene is called heterozygous. Phenotypes (the expressed characteristics) associated with a certain allele can sometimes be dominant or recessive, but often they are neither.
Answer:
The DNA must be copied so there is a full set of DNA to pass on to each daughter cell.
