Answer:

one will become extinct
one/both will adapt
one will migrate to a new location

Explanation:

An ecological niche is the role species has in its environment. This includes how it survives, reproduces, finds shelter, and obtains good. It includes all its interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors.

When species occupy the same niche, it means they are competing for the same resources. This is not sustainable. Eventually, one of three things are likely to happen:

one species will die out (become extinct) because they are being outcompeted by the more successful species, and will struggle to survive without adequate food and shelter
either one or both species will have to adapt to occupy another similar niche by, for example, exploiting a new food source in the area.
either one or both species will have to migrate to a new area to occupy a different geographical area and new resources.

The species that is being excluded from the niche can either adapt in the long term to occupy another similar niche, migrate to a new area, or it can die out.

Define Respiration with its word equation?

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Aerobic respiration can be described by the following word equation: glucose + oxygen gives carbon dioxide + water (+ energy) This means that glucose and oxygen get used up while carbon dioxide and water are made. The chemical energy stored in the glucose molecule is released in this process.

The correct answer for both blanks is "Sodium".
Sodium ions are necessary in small quantities for some sorts of flora, but sodium as a nutrient is extra usually wanted in large quantities by using animals, due to their use of it for era of nerve impulses and for upkeep of electrolyte balance and fluid stability. In animals, sodium ions are vital for the aforementioned capabilities and for coronary heart hobby and sure metabolic functions.

Yanka [14]

Elephants have multiple copies of the p53 genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.

<h3>What is the role of p53 genes in elephants?</h3>

P53 is an important regulator of the DNA repair processes and controls uncontrolled cell proliferation. When DNA is harmed, the protein becomes active and aids in orchestrating a response that stops DNA replication and fixes any incorrect copies of the cell. The oncogene MDM2 E3 ubiquitin ligase, another protein, is responsible for deactivating the p53 repair activity in duplicated cells with intact DNA since it is not required.

A human with only two alleles from a single gene has much fewer molecular anti-cancer interactions than an elephant, which has 40 alleles, or versions, from its twenty p53 genes. Although the elephant may appear to have excessive genetic diversity, each of its 40 alleles is structurally slightly different.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

Compared to humans, elephants have a dramatically low instance of cancer. Elephants have multiple copies of the _____ genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.
