An orange roughy fish eats squid and small fish. It also is eaten by predators like dolphins and sharks. Where would the orange

roughy most likely appear on a food web?
A. It is a primary producer because it provides food for the dolphins and sharks.
B. It is a tertiary consumer because most of the things it eats are secondary producers.
C. It is a secondary consumer because it eats two types of things.
D. It is a primary consumer because it has both predators and prey.

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. It is a tertiary consumer because most of the things it eats are secondary producers.

In a food chain or web, the tertiary consumers are those which can consume primary as well as secondary consumers.  

They are either carnivores, that is, meat eater or omnivores, that is, those who consume both plants as well as animals.

Similarly, orange roughy fish consume organisms like squid which is itself a secondary or tertiary consumer in a food chain. It can also consume small fishes which are primary consumers in a food chain.

Thus, orange roughy fishes would be a tertiary consumer in a food web.

During the development of an embryo, cells usually undergo a certain process. In this process, cells are fixed in development an
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Cell differentiation.

Explanation:

This is because cell differentiation refer to the process where cell changes from one cell types to tissues or organs or even system or specialised cells during a developmental stages to perform functions. It occur in multicellular organisms where zygote changes to tissues or system.

. This occurs through a process called gene expression. Gene expression refer to the combination of genes that can either be expressed or repressed.

Based on dna and archaelogicacl evidence, when does the mutation for lactase persistence occur in europe
Reptile [31]
<span>Lactase persistence, the ability to digest the milk sugar lactose in adulthood, is highly associated with a T allele situated 13,910 bp upstream from the actual lactase gene in Europeans. The frequency of this allele rose rapidly in Europe after transition from hunter–gatherer to agriculturalist lifestyles and the introduction of milkable domestic species from Anatolia some 8000 years ago. Here we first introduce the archaeological and historic background of early farming life in Europe, then summarize what is known of the physiological and genetic mechanisms of lactase persistence. Finally, we compile the evidence for a co-evolutionary process between dairying culture and lactase persistence. We describe the different hypotheses on how this allele spread over Europe and the main evolutionary forces shaping this process. We also summarize three different computer simulation approaches, which offer a means of developing a coherent and integrated understanding of the process of spread of lactase persistence and dairying.</span>

2.) Would a plant grow better in a room painted blue or in a room painted green? Explain your answer.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A blue room

Explanation:

Green light is the least effective for plants because they are themselves green due to the pigment Chlorophyll.. Blue light helps encourage vegetative leaf growth, and red light encourages flowers. this happens because the amount of blue, red and far red spectrum of light that reaches the planet changes with the seasons. As days start to get longer, more blue spectrum light reaches the surface of the earth. This initiates a vegetative growing stage for most plants leading into the spring and early summer. As the days start to grow shorter, and more of the red and far red spectrum reaches the surface, it leads into the late summer and fall reproductive season.

Why do you think naming the lynx might be advantageous for its survival? (please help)
Finger [1]

Answer:

Lynx are wild animals, which act as predators in regulating the populations of their prey.

Lynx are dangerous for humans but humans are more dangerous for them because they are hunted for their skin.

Naming the lynx will be advantageous for its survival because it will give them a unique identity and will increase care for them. Naming the animal create a different bond between human and animals which changes the way humans regard animals.

So, naming the lynx might decrease the hunting of lynx and will increase its chnaces to survive.
