DNA microarrays allow scientists to determine the genotype of a chunk of our genome and also measure the how the genes in that chunk are expressed. Using this technique has been essential in isolating genes that predispose people to cancers, and therefore allowing physicians to preemptively identify and monitor at-risk individuals. For instance, the genes BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 have all been identified (using DNA microarrays) and linked to breast cancer. Knowing this allows individuals to seek out testing and take appropriate measures to prevent cancer/monitor the possible onset of cancer, which has proven to be life-saving.

ddd [48]

Answer:

Roosting areas in buildings of any height are the resource partitioning of both bat species.

Explanation:

  • The <em>fundamental niche</em> refers <u>only </u>to <u>physic conditions</u> in which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.
  • The <em>realized niche</em> refers to the <u>restricted conditions</u> in which a species can live and survive as a result of <u>environment physic characteristics</u> and the <u>interaction</u> with other species.
  • <em>Competitive exclusion</em> refers to the <u>exclusion</u> of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.
  • Resources partitioning refers to one dominant species monopolizing the resources, and the other inferior species use resources -partially or completely-, migrates or get extinguished.

A way in which species can divide resources is by living in different habitat areas. These species <em>might eat the same food</em>, and <em>can roost in different places</em> within the same habitat. This resource partitioning and differentiation in the function of their physic location allows both species to coexist more effectively.

In the present example, both bat species can coexist in the same city but the weaker bat species (species 1) roost at the top of the shorter buildings while dominant species (species 2) roost at the top of the highest buildings.
