The rabbits had no natural predators  in Australia.

Explanation:

  • 'The rabbits were affected by many limiting factors.' This could not be a possibility because the limiting factors have a negative impact on growth rate of population. The limiting factors hinder the growth of population so if there were too many limiting factors affecting the rabbit, then the growth in population was not possible.
  • The rabbits reproduced by asexual reproduction. Rabbits are mammals and it is a known fact that they reproduce sexually. Thus this option is not possible.
  • The rabbits were unable to adapt to the environment If the rabbits were not adapted to the environment then they must not have survived efficiently in Australia. Hence, this is not a possibility.
  • Thus, the only possibility that remains is that , The rabbits had no natural predators in Australia' Otherwise, the predators would have preyed upon the Rabbits and there population must not have increased in this rate.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Gonadotropins are polypeptide hormones and are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus releases GnRH i.e gonadotropin releasing hormone which stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete gonadotrophs such as FSH, ICSH and LH.

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone): In males it stimulates spermatogenesis. In females it stimulates growth of ovarian follicles.

ICSH (Interstitial cell stimulating hormone): In males, secretion of testosterone.

LH (Luteinising hormone): In femalestogether with FSH, it triggers ovulation, stimulates conversion of broken ovarian follicle into corpus luteum.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: c) Some organisms rely on energy captured from inorganic compounds to drive basic biological processes.

Explanation:

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are hot spots of geothermal water. The organisms living in deep-sea vents cannot obtain energy from sunlight. They are dependent on chemosynthesis, which involves the utilization of inorganic substances to produce organic substances, which allows their survival and act as a source of energy. In the given situation, bacteria present on the surface of mussels are capable of chemosynthesis also the mussels are dependent upon inorganic hydrogen in seawater. Thus chemosynthesis supports the survival of organisms living in the deep sea vents.
