A) It increases survival for both.
B) It decreases survival for both.
C) It increases survival for cuckoos, but decreases survival of the other birds.

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) It increases survival for cuckoos, but decreases survival of the other birds.

The host chicks often face lots of competition from the cuckoo chicks in terms of food as well as space. It makes it difficult for the host chicks to survive.

It has also been found that cuckoo chicks beg to be fed more intensely due to which host chick die due to starvation.  

In addition, in some species of cuckoo, cuckoo chicks remove host eggs from the nest within few days of hatching.

Biome1: ________Tropical Savannah____________
IceJOKER [234]
EcosystemTropical Savanna is found between sections of tropical rain forest and deserts.  They have 2 seasons; wet (constant humidity) and dry (long periods of dry spells and drought that may cause fires).

Both savanna buffalo and forest buffalo live close to water. The buffalo are found throughout the northern and southern savanna as well as the lowland rain forest.
<span>How might this population suddenly increase? How might this affect the ecosystem?  If there was an increase in population; grasslands during the wet season will be gone, more predators will flock for an abundance of buffalo.
</span>
<span>What might happen to the ecosystem if this population was removed?  If you remove the buffalo from the savanna ecosystem, it can cause a ripple effect such as populations of small mammal (mouse) will double, which will attract more snakes (venomous), it can cause the flea and tick population to increase, and the increase in tick/fleas can cause the risk of transmission of flea/tick borne pathogens.</span>

Kyle concludes that the cell must be a plant cell. How does Kyle know that the cell is a plant cell and not an animal cell?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Kile should know the answer because of the morphology (part of biology that studies the estructure and the form of something). The plant cell presents a rectangular form, while the animal's cells presents a round form.

There are other main differences. As their parts and the size. Before I explain that remember that a cell can be of two types eukaryotic (cell with nucleus) and prokaryote (cell with no nucleus). In the other they can be neurons, nefrons, etc...

The plant cell contains for example chloroplasts, cell wall and vascuoles; while animal's don't.  Both of them have nucleus, cell plants are generally larger than animals. Those are the main differences.

Thankyou.

Sorry for my bad english, It's not my native language.
