A species of mud snail was studied for five years. During this time, scientists observed the season in which they mated, the num

ber of offspring they produced, and the results of such stressors as drought, famine, and lack of mates. Which question were the scientists most likely studying? A. What is the food source most often chosen by the mud snail?
B. Are mud snails able to reproduce both asexually and sexually?
C. Are mud snails more likely to choose mates with colorful shells?
D. Do mud snails prefer to live in water or near a water source?

The correct answer is option B. The scientists were studying if the mud snails can reproduce both sexually and asexually. The characteristics in the study included parameters such as the mating season, number of offspring, effect of environmental stress conditions and lack of mates. Out of all the parameters being studied can affect asexual reproduction in the mud snail but lack or presence of mates is a parameter required to be studied to determine the mode of reproduction i.e. sexual or asexual because need for mates or mate dependent reproduction occurs in case of sexual reproduction.

Consider a field plot containing 200 kg of plant material. Approximately how many kg of carnivore production can be supported? A
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

E) 2

Explanation:

The energy transfer through the food chain is not 100% from one consumer to another, or from the producer to the primary consumer, but instead it is around 10%. This means that if a producer has the 100% of energy, as it is the one that produces it, the primary consumer will only get 10% of its energy while consuming it, while the predator of the the primary consumer will only 10% from the primary consumer, or rather only 1% from the energy of the producer. In this case we have 200 kg of plant material. The plant material represents a producer, thus it is the one with 100% of energy. A herbivore will eat the plant material, getting 10% of its energy, thus this plant material is supporting about 20 kg of herbivore. The predator of the herbivore gets only 10% from the herbivore's energy, or only 1% of the producer's energy, thus only 2 kg of predator can be supported by the initial plant material.

Which of these is a disadvantage of multicellular organisms?
Alexxandr [17]

Multi cellular organisms are composed of many cells whereas unicellular organisms are composed of single cell. Multicellularity is indeed a progressive attribute of evolution where cells form tissue which forms organ and then organ system and finally an organism. Both multi cellular and unicellular organisms has advantages and disadvantages of their own. One of the main disadvantage of multi cellular organisms is that due to such a complex composition and functioning they require a large amount of energy for their maintenance and survival. Different organs and system require a huge amount of energy when it comes to comparison with unicellular organisms. A large amount of energy is also wasted in all these life processes. Though multi cellular organisms can survive in a variety of environmental conditions but then also their survival is difficult than any unicellular organism.

Which of the following would most likely be key to gathering evidence that the RNA World hypothesis is valid?
muminat

Answer:

The answer is; Simulation of early Earth conditions and long-term study of the resulting molecules

Explanation:

It is believed that the first molecules on earth were made spontaneously through reaction spurred by energy from lightning and also the heat from the earth. It is believed that these molecules over time then formed polymers through the catalysis by metals in the oceans. These polymers were able to self-replicate and also act as enzymes since they were able to fold up. This hypothesis was coined by Carl Woese, Francis Crick and Leslie Orgel in the 1960s. To prove it, the then conditions of early earth need to be replicated, data collected, and analyzed.
