Two species of clams inhabit the same marine habitat along the Atlantic coast. One releases gametes into the water in early spri

ng, and the second species releases gametes into the water in late summer. Which type of reproductive barrier is at work between these species?

Answer:

Temporal Isolation

Explanation:

The mechanisms of reproductive isolation that work before zygote formation are categorized as pre-zygotic isolation mechanisms. One such mechanism is the temporal isolation.

Here, two diverging populations exhibit differences in the timing of reproduction so as to prevent the possible interbreeding between them.  

In the given example, two species of clams present in the same habitat prevent interbreeding among themselves as they release their gametes at a different time of year. One species release gametes in water in early spring while the other does the same during late summer.

Since gametes are not released at the same time, they cannot fuse together and interbreeding is not possible between the given two species.

Are endocytosis and exocytosis forms of passive or active transport
PolarNik [594]

Active transport requires energy, whereas passive doesn't.

Both Endocytosis and Exocytosis are transports that require energy from the cell in order to transport particles. Therefore, they're forms of active transport.

Which action is a way to carry out smart growth? A. Keep neighborhoods walkable. B. Put open space between neighborhoods. C. Put
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Option A.

The best way to carry out smart growth is by keeping neighborhoods walkable.

Explanation:

  • Smart growth is an unique concept that avoids sprawl by urban framing plan and transportation theory.
  • For the smart growth of the community there must be compulsorily availability of walkable spaces in a compact urban centers.
  • This tool of smart growth helps in developing the cities by preserving the available spaces for tomorrow, this process is also known as the sustainable development.

The island of Guam traditionally has not had any snakes that prey on birds; however, brown tree snakes that prey upon birds were
IRISSAK [1]

Since, the options have not been given the question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

The island of Guam traditionally has not had any snakes that prey on birds; however, brown tree snakes that prey upon birds were introduced. Use your knowledge of wolf-moose population dynamics to determine what happened to the population dynamics of birds and the new snakes on Guam. Which statement is probably one of the results of the snake introduction?

Because prey was abundant and few predators existed, snakes spread throughout the island.; Snake populations increased exponentially as they preyed upon birds that had no defenses against the predators.; As snake populations became very large, they reached the carrying capacity of Guam and caused bird populations to crash.; Because bird populations crashed, one of the birds' main prey items, spiders, increased their population size.

Answer: Because bird populations crashed, one of the birds' main prey items, spiders, increased their population size.

Explanation:

The wolf-moose population dynamics suggests that if the population of the moose increases the wolves will get more food and will increase in number whereas if the population of moose decrease the wolves will also decrease. This describes the predator-prey relationship.

According to the given situation, all the statements describes the predator prey relationship between birds and snake. The snake population will increase in the Island due to the availability of birds as food. But the statement, Because bird populations crashed, one of the birds' main prey items, spiders, increased their population size. is not directly related to the predator prey relationship between bird and snake. This is one of the consequences of the decline or crash of the bird population after the introduction of the snake population.
