Before examining an example of speciation in the Galápagos, consider two species of large cats. Lions and tigers live on differe

nt continents and differ in many ways. In nature, they do not hybridize, or interbreed. Therefore, according to the biological species concept, lions and tigers are separate species. However, in captivity, humans have been able to interbreed lions and tigers. Hybridization of a male lion and a female tiger forms a liger. Ligers are able to produce fertile offspring.
Based on this information, do you still think lions and tigers are separate species? (All responses will be marked correct.)

Answer:

Any of the answers are correct. This question is completely opinionated (I chose no).

[If you limit your interpretation of the biological species concept to only what happens in nature, lions and tigers are separate species. In contrast, if you consider what is possible with human intervention, you could argue that lions and tigers are not separate species since they can be crossed to form fertile ligers.

The biological species concept is one of over 20 different species concepts that attempt to put nature into human-constructed categories. Most biologists would agree that the challenge of defining species has still not been elegantly solved.]

Changes to _______ can be ascribed to glacial melting. a. Earth’s surface b. CO2 levels c. coral reefs d. water pollution
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

a. Earth’s surface

Explanation:

The glacial process is a geomorphological process caused by the action of ice, snow, and frost.

When the water flows away from the glacier melting of the sea, it goes to the ocean, so the amount of water in the ocean provokes the changes on the coasts. This is happening slowly and, in the end, we are starting to see changes in the Earth's surface

Concentration cell based on the Ni2 -Ni cell reaction.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

The missing diagram contained in this question is first attached in the image below.

The objective of this question is to determine how ions migrate when the cells are operating by assuming the solutions are composed of Ni(NO3)2.

From the information provided:

In this instance, the ions tend to move first from cathode to anode in terms of raising the concentration of Ni(2+) at the anode, resulting in the development of a dead cell. The initial concentration of [Ni(2+)] in the anode solution is 1.00 × 10⁻³ M, which gradually increases to 0.5 M, during which both the cathode and the anode possess the same concentration at the same point.

This causes Q(equilibrium constant) to equal  1 as well as log(Q) to equal 0, indicating that the cell is dead.

As a result, the cell will cease to operate, and nothing will migrate from the left to the right side.
