Answer: Density-independent factor Any factor limiting the size of a population whose effect is not dependent on the number of individuals in the population. An example of such a factor is an earthquake, which will kill all members of the population regardless of whether the population is small or large.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which of the following is a density-independent limiting factor?

a. earthquake , b. disease , c. emigration , d. parasitism"

Answer:

a. earthquake

Explanation:

Density-independent factors are those that are not influenced by the number of individuals in a population. Climate variables are a good example of this type of factor, but we can also cite the emergence of disease, migration and parasitism. These factors tend to cause sometimes drastic variations in population density. The carrying capacity of an environment can be influenced by these factors. Density-independent factors are most important in physically stressed ecosystems.

An earthquake is not an independent factor of density.

What is a protein that is the main component of the thick filaments in muscle fibers and is responsible for muscle contraction?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Myosin

Explanation:

Two of the important proteins are myosin, which forms the thick filament, and actin, which forms the thin filament. Myosin has a long, fibrous tail and a globular head, which binds to actin. The myosin head also binds to ATP, which is the source of energy for muscle movement

Primary spermatocytes are diploid (2n) cells with all of the organelles typically found in eukaryotic animal cells. Spermatogene
Aneli [31]

Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)

b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over

c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1

Explanation:

The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.

C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.
