A student investigated whether ants dig more tunnels in the light or in the dark. She thought that ants used the filtered light

that penetrated the upper layers of earth and would dig more tunnels during the daytime. Ten ant colonies were set up in commercial ant farms with the same number and type of ants per ant farm. The same amount of food was given to each colony, and the colonies were in the same temperature. Five of the colonies were exposed to normal room light and five were covered with black construction paper so they did not receive light. Every other day for three weeks the length of the tunnels was measured in millimeter using a string and a ruler. Averages for the light and dark groups for I each measured were then computed. The averages are listed in the following chart.

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

  1. Source of light, measuring tool (the string and ruler), ant food, ant farms
  2. Whether or not the tunnels created by ants differ in length depending on the amount of light available
  3. More tunnels are dug by ants during the daylight hours
  4. The hypotheses will probably come out to be true since ants are usually hiding away from predators during the night
  5. The presence of light
  6. The length of a particular tunnel
  7. Perform a trial under normal conditions (room light)
  8. Inaccuracy or inconsistency in measurements

What is an allele frequency determined by? The proportion of a genotype (i.e., AB) in a population The survival rates of individ
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The proportion of a genotype (i.e., AB) in a population.

Explanation:

  • Every trait is controlled by some alleles and their combinations. Allele frequency determines the frequency of occurrence of a particular allele in a population.
  • It can be determined by genotype frequency or proportion of a particular genotype in a population. As a genotype is a result of various alleles coming together, its frequency can help us to calculate the allele frequency.
  • For example, in a population with two alleles A and B, A allele can either occur as AA or as AB. To calculate the frequency of A we will have to calculate the genotype frequencies of AA and AB.

The effect of soil organic matter on the amount of water available to plants is due to organic matter influence on total soil po
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

It was discovered that a silt loam soil with 6% organic matter will hold more than twice water of a the one with 2% organic matter.

This means that, the more the organic matter in the soil, the more the ability of the soil to hold water for the usefulness of the plants.

How long is a rat's large intestine and small intestine in cm? and why is one bigger than the other?
Nitella [24]

Answer;

The large intestine is much wider than the small intestine, but it is also much shorter. The small intestine is the longest part of the digestive system.


Explanation;

The small intestine is a muscular tube with three parts; the duodenum breaks down the food, the jejunum and the ileum absorb nutrients and send them into the bloodstream.

The reason why the small intestine is longer than the large intestine and any other part of the digestive system is to ensure maximum and complete absorption of nutrients to the blood stream.
