A population of white, grey, and black lizards lives on a volcanic island, and each phenotypic color has an equal chance of surv

ival. However, after the latest

over the white and grey lizards. This change is an example of what type of microevolution?

I would say disruptive selection, because the sudden eruption of the volcano disrupted the circumstances of the lizards, allowing the black ones to survive better because of camouflage against the black rock.

Hope this helps!

torisob [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Tetrodotoxin is the molecules that act as a poison to the organism in which they are injected.

The tetrodotoxin proves lethal to the organisms as it kills the organism by interfering with the nervous system. The tetrodotoxin blocks the sodium channels in the neuron as a result of which the sodium is unable to enter the neurons and hence the electrical impulse is not generated.

If the tetrodotoxin blocks the motor neuron transmission by blocking the sodium channels then the signals will not reach the muscle and muscle will not be able to contract.

Thus, true is correct.

Which statement describes how predation and parasitism are different?
lakkis [162]
The correct answer is answer choice A, 'In predation the predator usually kills its prey, whereas in parasitism the parasite does not usually kill its host'. While parasites can occasionally kill their hosts, it is more beneficial for the parasite to keep its host alive so that it can continue surviving off of the nutrients it gathers. Answer choice B is incorrect because the prey in predator-prey relationships and the host in parasitism do not benefit. Answer choice C is incorrect because the host does not benefit in parasitism, and is often harmed by the parasite. Answer choice D is incorrect because a predator usually kills its prey, while a parasite usually does not kill its host.

Hope this helps!
