Which of the following is a density-independent factor?

Biology

Yuki888 [10]3 years ago

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.

E. coli cells grown on 15N medium are transferred to 14N medium and allowed to grow for two more generations (two rounds of DNA
White raven [17]

Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of all the organism except some viruses. DNA is composed of nitrogenous base, deoxyribose pentose sugar and the phosphate group.

DNA replicatese by semi-conservative mode of replication in which one the daughter DNA consists of one newly synthesized strand and one parental strand. This mode of replication was explained by Messelson and Sthal experiment. The cells from 15N medium are transferred to 14N medium the band of intermediate density was observed. The daughter DNA consists of one 15N DNA strand and one 14N DNA strnd. This strand undergo replication in the 14N medium. This time one low density DNA band ( contains 14N - 14N DNA strand) and one intermediate density band ( 14N-15N DNA).

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plas
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations.

Explanation:

Na+/K+ ATPase exists in two forms: Its phosphorylated form has a high affinity for K+ and low affinity for Na+. ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation of the Na+/K+ pump favor the release of Na+ outside the cell and binding of K+ ions from the outside of the cell. Dephosphorylation of the pump increases its affinity for Na+ and reduces that for K+ ions resulting in the release of K+ ions inside the cells and binding to the Na+ from the cells.  

The presence of ATP analog would not allow the pump to obtain its phosphorylated form. Therefore, Na+ ions would not be released outside the cells. This would increase the Na+ concentration inside the cell above the normal. Similarly, the pump would not be able to pick the K+ from the outside of the cell resulting in reduced cellular K+ concentration below the normal range.
