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.]

What would a control be for an experiment to see whether fertilizer helps a plant grow ?
shtirl [24]
<span>The control would be a  plant grown without any fertilizer.  This is called  a negative control and is important in identifying the influence  of the treatments on the tests. In this case, it would mean that the plant without fertilizer (control) is not expected to grow as large as in the other treatment. </span>

Describe how human activities cause desertification including desertification’s impacts on soil and the role of modern agricultu
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Desertification is the destruction of the biological potential of the land and it is generally viewed as an advanced stage of land degradation. human activities also cause the process such as poor irrigation practices, deforestation, the expansion and intensive use of agricultural lands, and overgrazing.

Such human activities put enormous pressure on the land by altering its soil chemistry and hydrology. Modern agriculture causing a negative impact on the soil and land by overexploiting the biological and chemical potential of the land.

How would you describe the relationship that gravity has with mass and distance.
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Mass does not affect gravity and distance has an indirect relationship.

Explanation:

The equation for gravity is, g = \frac{GM}{R^{2} }

where, G = gravitational constant

             M = mass of the planet

             R = distance between the bodies (object and center of planet)

so, gravity depends on the mass of planet,  not on mass of object

 and is inversely proportional to sqaure of distance.
