In the autumn, many birds will collect seeds and then hide them in various caches throughout their habitat. The birds will guard

their caches from other birds, and move the caches if they start to dry out. These caches provide a food source for the birds during the winter. What is an abiotic factor that contributed to the evolution of this set of behaviors?

Answer:

The correct answer is low temperature.

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of the environment which directly influences the living organisms along with its ecosystem. They are mostly physical factors which can be easily identified like temperature, moisture, sunlight, soil type, water, sunlight and many more.

According to the given condition in which a bird do "caching" that is collecting and storing hundreds of seeds in a different location during bad weather condition which helps in the survival of the bird.  

Since the bad weather condition, in this case, is cold winter season affecting the behavior of the bird therefore, the abiotic factor is low temperature.

Abiotic factor is defind as a nonliving condition such as climate, rain, wind, temperature, altitude, soil or habitat, which influences and affects an ecosystem and the organisms in it.

The abiotic factor that contributed to the evolution of this set of behaviors as mentioned in the question is cold winter season.

What happens during the initiation step of DNA transcription? A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA st
Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.</u>

Explanation:

Transcription is the process in which DNA template is used to synthesize  mRNA.

There are three steps of transcription:

  • <u>Initiation</u>

It is the process in  which a portion of DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase binds to the promotor region on the DNA.

  • <u>Elongation</u>

It is the process in which RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template and synthesizes mRNA. During this process, unwinding of double stranded DNA takes place.

  • <u>Termination</u>

As the RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template, it finally reaches a termination signal and then stops synthesizing. It is followed by the detachment of the newly formed mRNA and RNA polymerase from the DNA.

<u>QUESTION:</u>

  • <u> A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA strand.</u>

This is the incorrect answer choice as this process does not happen in the process of transcription. This event happens<u> in the process of translation in which mRNA is used to synthesize proteins or amino acids. mRNA attaches to ribosome during this process.</u>

  • <u>RNA polymerase moves along the template strand of the DNA creating an mRNA strand.</u>

This is the incorrect answer choice as this event takes place in the process of elongation.

  • <u>A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.</u>

This is the<u> correct answer choice as this event takes place in the process of initiation of transcription</u>

  • <u>The mRNA detaches from the RNA polymerase as the RNA polymerase leaves the DNA strand.</u>

This is the incorrect answer choice. This event takes place in the event of termination of transcription.

The process of bones increasing in thickness is known as ________.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The cells lying in the deeper layer of periosteum are known as osteoblasts (bone forming cells). These cells divide continuously and form the osteocytes, thus increase the thickness of bone. ... The process of reshaping the bone is called <u>remodeling </u>and it is one of the major factors responsible for increasing size of marrow cavity.
