Answer:

E. O. Wilson say polygamy is natural

Explanation:

There are a number of ways to prove polygamy is natural, actually. The most meaningful one would be when you literally look at the number of mates that are simultaneously maintained by a member of one sex. In the case of polygyny, which is male harem formation, you simply look at the number of females in an average harem.

You can also look it anatomically. If you look at those species that are highly polygynous, in which many females are mated to just one male, we find that they're actually highly sexually dimorphic, and there's a really close one-to-one correspondence between the degree of polygyny in terms of number of mates and the degree of sexual dimorphism.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

A drug that interacts directly with receptor sites to cause the same activity that a natural chemical would cause at that site is the instructors best response.  

Explanation:

Receptors are Macromolecules which involved in chemical signalling within cells. It is possible that receptors are located in the cell surface membrane. Cellular biochemical process is regulated by Activated receptor. The drugs are capable to affect to receptor who is related to the drug’s affinity and also intrinsic efficacy.

The affinity and activity of drug is related to its chemical structure. its effect is decided by the time duration where complex persistence of drug-receptor.

Predict how changing the grass population will affect the other organisms at first. Write + for “Increase” or – “Decrease” next
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: Here you go!

Explanation:

Doubling the amount of grass would definitely increase the rabbit population since there is more food/resources for it to produce. Since the food chain has a domino effect everything else would go up as well because of the increase of food/resources that will help sustain the population of all. so for the first line it would be increase for rabbit snake and hawk. Halving the amount of grass would effect the population of all animals as well. But in a more negative way. It would decrease because the rabbits wouldn't have enough food to produce and thrive. With the decline of rabbits less snakes will live because of the low amount of their main food source. Same with the eagles. So therefore it would be decrease in all the bottom lines.

List 2 adaptations that helped Darwin's finches survive.?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Two adaptations of Darwin's Finches that helped them to survive are:

  • Beak structure.
  • Behavioral adaptations to use tools for foraging.

Explanation:

There are fourteen species of Darwin's finches that originated from a single  species of ground dwelling seed eating finch.

These Finches occupied different niche in the Galapagos island  and were widely studied by Darwin.

These finches are one of the best Examples of Adaptive radiation.

Studies state that during severe drought in Galapagos island most vegetation dried out and a few softer seeds were left.

These few seeds were quickly fed upon by the birds and only dry , hard seeds were left.

Only birds who had large and hard beaks could feed on these hard dry seeds.

To Ensure survival the Finches developed adaptations which resulted in hard and large beaks so that they can feed on those dried hard seed.

Some groups started feeding on insects and got their beaks adapted to capture and kill insects.

Second line of adaptation included changes in behaviour and cognitive intelligence where birds started using tools for foraging.

Explanation:

Pheromones are chemical substances that are released and produced by a different type of animals, into the environment, for marking their territory or affecting behaving of its species.

Wolves communicate by the chemical messages using their sense of smell. Such chemical messages are called pheromones, between different members of the same species.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. pheromones.
