The zebra mussel is originally native to the Black and Caspian Seas of Asia. Zebra mussels were first detected in the Hudson Riv

er of New York in 1991. Before the arrival of zebra mussels, the Hudson River supported populations of native unionid mussels.

Answer:

Lack of predators  

Explanation:

The carrying capacity is the amount of organisms that the habitat is able to support. Invasive species compete with native species for limited resources including food,  niche, etc. This phenomenon may have important negative effects on the survival of native species, even it may lead to the extinction if the invasive species is successful

Fungi rapidly colonize leaves that fall into freshwater streams. They break down the cellulose in the leaves and absorb the gluc
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Fungi indirectly help the fishes by providing digested organic nutrients to their prey insects.

Explanation:

According to the given information, fishes are predators of insects. These insects feed on dead leaves. The insects are not able to digest the cellulose of dead leaves. Fungi breakdown the dead and decaying leaves and digest the complex molecules such as cellulose into simpler organic nutrients which in turn are consumed by insects.

If fungi do not decompose the dead leaves, insects would not be able to derive the organic nutrients from them. A shortage of food supply to insects would starve them. Unavailability of prey insects would starve fishes. Thereby, fungi indirectly benefit the fishes to obtain their nutrition from the insect.

Which is a correct interpretation of the cladogram shown below?
nataly862011 [7]

A cladogram is an image or a diagram that shows us an evolutionary relationship between different organisms. Up at the top we find the different organisms and their names. Along the side is where we find their characteristics. Anything that is past each characteristic will have that characteristic as you move up the cladogram. This diagram also shows which organisms are most closely related to one another.



Please see the image for an example. In this example we can see that the Koalas evolved after the trout.



I hope this helps, Regards.

What is the difference between metaphase in mitosis and metaphase II in meiosis? How are they the same?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

What is the difference between Metaphase 1 and Metaphase 2? In Metaphase I, the 'pairs of chromosomes' are arranged on the Metaphase plate while, in the Metaphase II, the 'chromosomes' are arranged on the metaphase plate. In Metaphase I, the spindle fibers get attached to two centromeres of each homologous chromosome.

In metaphase 1 the pairs of chromosomes referred to as bivalents are totally condensed. Moreover the in metaphase 1 of meiosis there is no centromere division whereas in metaphase of mitosis it does. They align on the metaphase plate in between the poles.
