4 0

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A. Mechanoreceptor</em>

Explanation:

Mechanoreceptor can be described as a kind of a sensory receptor that generates the response for mechanical pressure. The receptors which bring light touch sensations are a type of mechanoreceptors which are named as Tactile corpuscles. They are receptors which are present in the nerve endings of the skin and are sensitive for light touches. We can say that they are the receptors which have the highest sensitivity present in them.

What primary determines the carrying capacity of a population?
mamaluj [8]

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is determined by limiting factors.

Carrying capacity is determined by limiting factors which affect the amount of resources available. Limiting factors may include water, space, nutrients, minerals, light, etc.If we're discussing carrying capacity in the context of a species, the number of available mates, predation, disease, or competition with another species could determine the species' carrying capacity. For example, a species of bird may have plenty of space and but if it needs to compete with another species for food, the degree and extent of competition will limit the population.

Or there may be plenty of available habitat, food, and water for tigers in India, but if there are only a few tigers breeding and producing offspring, the carrying capacity of the species will be determined by the number of females producing young.

Many of these same limiting factors apply when we refer to the carrying capacity of an ecosystem. For example, in a desert ecosystem, there may be plenty of available space, but the number of organisms the system can hold may depend on the amount of water.

Another ecosystem may be limited by nutrient-poor soil. If the soil in an area is low in nutrients, fewer photosynthetic plants will be able to grow, which means less food for organisms consuming the plants, which means less food for organisms that eat those organisms, and so forth. The nutrient concentration of the soil affects the carrying capacity of the entire ecosystem.

The expected e heterozygous phenotype would be orange.

Codominance is a type of non-Mendelian inheritance in which both alleles of one genotype are simultaneously expressed. So, in this example if allele A is responsible for red flower color and allele a for yellow flower color, Aa genotype (both alleles) will give both colors  (red and yellow mixed together give orange).
