In some states, populations of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tail deer (O. virginianus) can occupy the same forest h

abitat and can be found mixing together in certain areas. Both animals are the hosts for ticks of the species (Dermacentor variabilis). If populations of these ticks show host preference such that those feeding upon white-tail deer though possible will not transfer to feeding on mule deer and vice versa, and they also mate at different times of the year, then which of the following terms might be applied to these two populations of ticks? A) sympatric speciation B) habitat isolation C) temporal isolation D) actually all of these terms might be applied to describe these two tick populations.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B) "habitat isolation".

Explanation:

The two populations of ticks herein described have preference in one of two populations: either over mule deers or white-tail deers. One term that might be applied to describe these populations is habitat isolation. Habitat isolation occurs when the chances of mating between individuals of the same species are lowered because of differences in habitat preference. This is the case for the two populations of ticks, where because of differences in host preference, the ticks that feed from mule deers are isolated from the ones that feed from white-tail deers and vice-versa.

Answer:

The answer is D) actually all of these terms might be applied to describe these two tick populations.

Explanation:

All options can happen, as for habitat isolation to occur, populations do not require that they be separated by a very large distance. While temporal isolation means that one of the two populations is isolated in time, therefore, this is a process that would prevent both species from pairing because their reproduction would take place at different instants of time. Finally, sympathetic speciation is a mechanism by which species evolve from a single ancestral species while they are living in the same territorial region.

Answer:

La razón por la que a partir de los núcleos de las células del intestino de un renacuajo albino, se obtuvieron ranas albinas en lugar de células intenstinales, es que fué un experimento de clonación.

Explanation:

Este experimento realizado por John Gurdon  en 1960, se conoce también como transferencia nuclear, y demostró que la información hereditaria guardada en el núcleo celular, es suficiente para generar un nuevo organismo y permanece integra durante el desarrollo de células diferenciadas debido a sus señales citoplásmicas.

Viral Spikies
kati45 [8]

Answer:

B)attach specifically to host cell receptors

Explanation:

Viral spikes are one of the envelope proteins. These proteins are coded for by viral genes. Viral spikes project from the envelope surface. They are also called peplomers. One of the functions of these spikes is to specifically interact with the receptors present on the surface of the host cell to mediate the attachment of the virus to the host cell surface. Viral spikes and the host cell surface receptors are complementary to allow their specific binding. For example, the spike protein of the SARS-coronavirus bind specifically to the human host cell receptor ACE2.
