In the late 1960s, Robert Paine conducted landmark studies on diversity in the rocky intertidal zone, comparing the species dive

rsity in control plots with diversity in experimental plots from which he removed the top predator, sea stars. After 5 years, 15 species of intertidal invertebrates lived in the control plots, while the experimental plots were dominated by only two species, one mussel and one barnacle. The process most likely responsible for the loss of species diversity in the experimental plots was:a. predation.
b. mutualism.
c. resource partitioning.
d. parasitism.
e. competitive exclusion.

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

During conducting the experiment, it was performed in control conditions. In this case the top predators were removed.

There were limited number of organism left at the place which compete with each other for the same resources.

Mussel and Barnacle were the two species left there which feed on the same resources for their needs. This is the reason there was loss of diversity.

What is the force of an object that needs a force 4500N to accelerate it at a rate of 5 m/s
babunello [35]

Answer:

The question is somehow not correct, it suppose to be what is the MASS of an object that needs a force 4500N to accelerate it at a rate of 5 m/s as gotten from another website.

The correct answer is 900kg.

Explanation:

To get the mass of the object use the formula

F=Ma

Where F is force

M is mass

a is acceleration.

F= 4500, M=? a=5m/s

4500= M× 5

M=4500/5

M=900kg

Mass is in kg

What is the sequence of cases on dna strand b from left to right? (See picture)
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:Dna template- 5' ACTCCTGAA 3'

3' TGAGGACTT 5' complementary base

Explanation: Dna consist of a double stranded helix structure. Replication occurs to make extra copies of DNA strand. The DNA strand use to make extra copy is the template strand while the mirror image is the complementary base.

Replication occurs in 5' to 3' direction.

For complementary base in DNA Adenine complement thyamine

Cytosine complement Guanine

i.e A-T

C-G

Hence the complementary base in 3'-5' direction is 3' TGAGGACTT 5'
