Answer:
The organism at location D is the common ancestor
to organisms at location A, B, and C.
Explanation:
Hi! This is your answer because the organism at location D is at the very beginning of the cladogram thus passing on traits to organisms A,B, and C.
Hope this works for you.
Answer:
The oldest fossils, between 3.5 and 3.8 billion years old, are then accepted as both the first life and prokaryotic.
Biotic factors include plants, animals, microbes, etc. The important abiotic factors include the amount of sunlight in the ecosystem, the amount of oxygen and nutrients that is dissolved in the water, temperature, etc. Sunlight is one of the most important abiotic factors for marine ecosystems.
Answer:
mitosis
Explanation:
Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.
Answer:
b. the interaction of food availability and predation intensity
Explanation:
The complete question is as follows:
What best explains snowshoe hare and lynx population cycles?
a. the seasonal trends in food availability
b. the interaction of food availability and predation intensity
c. natural variation in the number of lynxes born
d. the population density of snowshoe hares
- The population of snowshoe hare and lynx are closely linked to each other and this is because the primary food of lynx is the snowshoe hare.
- When the number of hares is more lynx eat more of hares and less of other food and when the number of hares is scarce, lynx eat alternate food.
- However, in the scarcity of hares, the other foods do not provide lynx with their nutritional needs and therefore, many of them leave their home grounds.
- Therefore, when the hare number declines lynx number also declines.
- The population cycle spans over 8-11 years.
- The number of hares decreases at the end of the cycle and so does the number of lynx.
- However, at the beginning when the number of the hare is more, they starve due to competition and are easily caught by the lynx and thus, the lynx population also increases.
