On the Pacific island of Guam, large herbivorous bats called "flying foxes" commonly feed on cycad seeds, a potent source of neu

rotoxins. The flying foxes do not visit male cones. Consequently, which of the following statements should be accurate? A) Flying foxes disperse cycad seeds if the seeds sometimes get swallowed whole (in other words, without getting chewed). B) Flying foxes assist the beetles as important pollinating agents of the cycads C) Flying foxes are highly susceptible to the effects of the neurotoxins because the toxin attacks the action of the central nervous system. D) Flying foxes are attracted to cycad fruit and eat the enclosed seeds only by accident.

Flying foxes disperse the Cycad seeds if  the seed sometimes get swallowed whole.

Explanation:

  • Cycads are gymnosperms they do not have seeds enclosed in fruit. Therefore the bats are not attracted to cycad fruit.
  • If the bats were susceptible to neurotoxin then they must not have been the frequent feeders of cycad seeds. Biomagnification of neurotoxin in flying fox is a widely researched topic.
  • Beetles do not have an association with these bats thus the bats must not be assisting them as important pollinating agents.

Matings between individuals from the two populations of Rhagoletis produce hybrid flies that appear to be healthy and have norma
Mama L [17]
<h2>The correct answer is : C.</h2>

Explanation:

  • According to the question, mating between two populations of Rhagoletis produce hybrid flies.
  • This means that the two population is present in the same habitat or locality, hence they are capable of coming in contact with each other and mate. Hence, the answer cannot be Habitat Isolation.
  • Mating produces hybrid flies. This is possible when the gametes (egg and sperm) of the two different populations are capable of capable of coming close to each other and undergoing fusion (fertilization). Hence, there is no Mechanical Isolation.
  • The zygote formed by the above fertilization is capable of developing into healthy hybrid flies with normal life span. Hence, Pre-zygotic Isolation is absent.
  • But the hybrid flies formed are sterile and not fertile, that is, they are incapable of producing viable gametes which can undergo fertilization and produce a new offspring.Therefore, the eggs laid by the hybrid flies hatch less often. Hence, there is existence of Reduced hybrid fertility.

What chemical involved in the processes of photosynthesis has the greatest number of atoms per molecule? F carbon dioxide G gluc
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: The correct answer is Glucose.

The chemical formula of the given molecules are-

Carbon dioxide is CO₂, which means that it contains 2 oxygen and 1 carbon atom and therefore 3 atoms per molecule.

Glucose- C₆H₁₂O₆, which means that it contains 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms. Thus, total atoms are 24 per molecule.

Oxygen- O₂, which means that it contains 2 atoms of oxygen.

Water- H₂O, which means that it contains 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom and therefore 3 atoms per molecule.

Thus, glucose has greatest number of atoms per molecule.
