(Marine science) The Atlantic puffin feeds on several species of Atlantic fish. A population of puffins living on Matinucus Rock

was found to feed on the types of fish shown in the graph below. The beaks of this group of puffin are shaped to grasp Species A particularly well. Predict what would happen to the puffins’ beaks if another predator enters the area that is better at preying on Species A. Explain your reasoning based on what you know regarding genetic adaptations.

If another predator, that is more efficient hunter, enters the territory of the puffins, the puffins will find themselves in a very tough situation. They will either have to adapt very quickly, or die out.

The evolutionary pressure will be there fro the puffins to push them in a direction to adapt and be netter hunters, thus fight for their existence. That would mean that the puffin's beak, but also their speed and efficiency will have to improve in order to compete or even out-compete the new predator.

If the puffins do not manage to adapt relatively quickly, and a food shortage occurs, than they will die out, as they will lose the fight for food constantly.

How are Ionic bonds formed?
irinina [24]
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charge

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The correct answer is between the arachnoid and the pia. Thus option 'a' is correct.

Explanation:

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is the bleeding in the brain more precisely in the subarachnoid space-the space between the arachnoid and the pia matter surrounding the brain.

The layers that surround the brain termed as meninges of the brain of the brain include:

1) Dura matter the outermost layer close to the skull.

2)Arachnoid matter.

3) Pia matter, the innermost layer that is in contact with the brain.

A subarachnoid hemorrhage can occur due to many causes such as an accident , ruptured aneurysm, e.t.c. It is a life threatening condition and is accompanied with stroke.

The leafy canopy of a tree slows the impact of raindrops and the root system of a tree absorbs water and holds soil in place. Wh
lapo4ka [179]

The environmental benefit of the leaf canopy of a tree slowing down the impact of raindrops and the root system absorbing water and holding soil in place would be that the water erosion of soil would be minimized.

The washing away of topsoil by water is termed water erosion. This event has a number of impacts on the ecosystem, including:

  • reduced agricultural yields
  • damages to infrastructures such as roads
  • washing away into nearby water bodies can cause eutrophication
  • water quality of nearby water bodies becomes impacted negatively

The leaf canopies of trees prevent raindrops from having maximum impact on soil structure while the roots of trees absorb water and also holds soil structure together to limit water erosion of the soil. This will in turn prevent negative consequences to the environment.
