Answer and Explanation:
Invasive species are not native to an ecosystem/environment to which they've been introduced, which can cause disastrous disruptions to various food chains/webs and other native species' populations.
In this case, your cousin is bringing in a plant from overseas, so it clearly will be an invasive plant. You can tell them the following:
- this plant may take over the feeding source of native plants, causing those populations to decrease drastically or possibly even be wiped out
- secondary consumers that had once relied on those native plants for food energy will now have limited resources, competition will increase, and these consumers may begin to die off
- tertiary consumers that consumed these secondary consumers will begin to die off, as well
- this chain reaction will ripple through the entire food chain and food web, and totally disrupt the existing ecosystem
Thus, your cousin shouldn't plant this organism in their backyard and should instead destroy it.
The pH scale measures the concentration of how acidic or basic something is. The lower the number below 7, is acidic. Above 7 is basic. 7 is waters purest form.
Answer:
A. It allows two populations to evolve separately.
Explanation:
Geographic isolation is theorized to have catalyzed the formation of new species. Let’s say groups A and B of a bird species get separated by something, and they can’t cross between to interbreed or exchange alleles.
We describe this as no gene flow, which is the opposite of choices C and D. Because of this, they may diverge if given enough time due to the difference in environmental pressures, because they’re now in different environments.
B is incorrect because it doesn’t apply.
Answer:
One-half of the daughters of an affected man would have this condition.
Explanation:
Each daughter born to a woman that is positive for a dystrophin mutation on one of her two X chromosomes possess a 50 percent likelihood of possessing the mutation and also becoming a carrier. Carriers at times do not show the disease symptoms but may give birth to a child that has the mutation or the disease condition. DMD carriers do have a higher chance of cardiomyopathy.
A man with DMD cannot transfer the affected gene to his sons since he passes to his son a Y chromosome, not the X chromosome. But he will definately transfer it to his daughters, since each daughter possess her father’s only X chromosome resulting in the daughters being carriers.
Hence, One-half of the daughters of an affected father and a carrier mother could have this condition.
