Introduction of burmese pythons to a local ecosystem can have grave consequences, as has been proven in Florida. Burmese pythons are skilled predators, and they are not easily killed by other animals. If introduced to a climate they can thrive in, they will start hunting local animals. With little to no predators capable of killing them, they will flourish because of plentiful food supply, and they will continue to increase in number. They will decrease the level of animals directly below them in the food chain, which will then increase the number of animals and plants that had previously been eaten by the python's new food.
Basically, don't mess with food chains! :)
Answer:
0.949367 ≈ 0.95.
Explanation:
The chi square analysis can be done by the formula as follows:
Chi square = (O-E)²/E
Here, O is observed value and E is expected value.
The tall trait follows the Mendel's law, this means the cross between F1 results in the formation of progeny with ratio 3( tall) : 1 (short).
The observed values for set I is 63 tall, 16 short.
The expected value for tall plant =
= 59.25 .
The expected value for short plant =
= 19.75.
Put these value in the formula for chi square analysis:
For tall plants = ( 63 - 59.25)²/ 59.25= 0.237.
For short plants = (16 - 19.75)²/ 19.75 = 0.712
Total value for set I = 0.237 + 0.712 = 0.95.
Thus, the answer is 0.95.
Answer:
Pathogens cause infection by entering the organism and infecting a host in order to reproduce. As they replicate themselves, the pathogen spreads and becomes more harmful. The immune system consists of lymphocytes and phagocytes which help kill the pathogen. The lymphocytes produce antibodies which can latch on and destroy invading viruses or bacteria. The phagocytes have the ability to ingest the pathogen by engulfing it.
Hope this helps!
