Answer and Explanation:

A. Character displacement: This refers to the change of a trait or characteristic. Two species that share the same space must develop different characteristics in order to reduce competition and make better use of resources.

5. As a result of resource partitioning, certain characteristics may enable individuals to obtain resources in their partitions more successfully. The Selection of these characteristics (or characters) reduces competition with individuals in other partitions and leads to a divergence of features.

6. Two species of finches that live on two different islands have similar beaks, both suited for using the same food supply (seeds). On a third island, they coexist, but due to evolution, the beak of each bird species is different. This minimizes competition by enabling each finch to feed on seeds of a different size.

B. Competitive exclusion principle: The competitive exclusion principle establishes that two or more species that share the same niche requirements and are in biological competition for the same resources, won´t be able to coexist indefinitely in the same space if the other ecological factors are constant. When the superior competitor occupies entirely the inferior competitor´s fundamental niche, the superior species has advantages over the other species and monopolizes all the resources. At this point, the inferior species is displaced and must adapt to use other resources changing its behavior, or must migrate to another area where it can get access to its needs, or get extinct.

1. When two species compete for exactly the same resources (or occupy the same niche), one is likely to be moresuccessful.One species outcompetes the other and eventually, the second species is eliminated

C. Ecological niche: The ecological niche is the synthesis of all the environmental factors that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of species. These factors also include the interaction between species.

8. The sum total of the organismâs use of the biotic and abiotic resources in its environment

D. Fundamental niche: The fundamental niche refers only to physic conditions in which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.

7. The resources a population uses in the absence of competitors or under ideal circumstances

E. Realized niche: The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of environment physic characteristics and the interaction with other species.

9. The resources a population actually uses

F. Resource partitioning: Resources partitioning refers to one dominant species monopolizing the resources, and the other inferior species use other resources -partially or completely-, migrates or get extinguished. A way in which species can divide resources is by living in different habitat areas. These species might eat the same food, and can roost in different places within the habitat. This resource partitioning and differentiation in the function of their physic location allows both species to coexist more effectively.

2. Some species coexist in spite of apparent competition for the same resources. A Closer study reveals that they occupy slightly different niches; dividing up the resources by pursuing slightly different resources or securing resources in slightly different ways.

3. Five species of warblers coexist in spruce trees by feeding on insects in different regions of the tree and by using differing feeding behaviors to obtain the insects

When does fetal erythrocyte production shift from the liver to the bone marrow?

vichka [17]

Answer: After seven months.

Explanation:

The blood carries various substances that must be transported from one part of the body to another. Red blood cells are an important component of the blood because their function is to carry oxygen to the body tissues and exchange it for carbon dioxide, which is carried and removed by the lungs.

Erythropoiesis is the process of red blood cell (erythrocyte) production. It is stimulated by a decrease in O2 in the circulation, detected by the kidneys, which then secretes the hormone erythropoietin. This hormone stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of red blood cell precursors, which triggers an increase in erythropoiesis in hematopoietic tissues and ultimately in the production of red blood cells. In adults, red blood cells are formed in the red bone marrow.

In early developing fetuses, erythropoiesis occurs in the mesodermal cells of the yolk sac. In the third or fourth month, erythropoiesis moves to the liver. After seven months, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow.

A food handler who fails to report illness to the person in charge could cause a physical contamination?

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Physical contamination are foreign objects such as hair, fingernails, broken glasses , jewelries etc that are mixed with food. Although, it is important for a food handler who realizes that he is sick such as having fever, jaundice,wound while working to report such to his supervisor or manager,who will then take necessary action and to avoid risk of contamination; yet not the only cause of physical food contamination.

Physical contamination does not necessarily have to occur until the food handler is sick. It could be as a result of carelessness or not paying attention enough by the food handler . Physical contamination might not at all times cause injury or illness to the customer, yet such could bring discomfort to a customer who notices foreign objects in his food while eating. To avoid risk of physical food contamination, it is important for food handlers to keep jewelries to a minimum, wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly, wear hear neatly tied back, throw out and replace cracked, chipped, or broken dishware, glassware and equipment amongst others.
