Why might it be beneficial for each firefly species to have its own unique light pattern?

<span>Fireflies use the bioluminescence to attract mates for mating hence key in reproduction. Therefore, beetles from different species should have different lighting patterns so that they can only attract mates of the same species. This would avoid interspecies mating which would probably involved expending energy in produce nonviable offspring which is inefficient (hence will be unfavoured natural selection).    </span>

Every firefly species has their own unique light pattern, so they can attract mates of the same species. The flashing is helpful when they need to find each other in the dark. <span> Female fireflies choose their mates depending upon specific male flash pattern characteristics.</span>

While water vapor is a necessary gas phase in the atmosphere for the hydrologic cycle, it is a natural greenhouse gas. Water vap
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas, which absorbs the heat radiated from the earth's surface. It allows less heat to escape back to space by trapping the heat energy in the lower atmosphere and keeps the atmosphere warm.

Explanation:

Water vapor is formed through a process called evaporation. In this process, water from the ocean, rivers, and lakes evaporates to become water vapor using the energy from the sun. Water vapor also moves into the atmosphere by transpiration (plants) and sublimation (snow and ice).

The water vapor cools down and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation, as it rises high in the atmosphere where the air is cooler. This water droplets that formed by condensation make up clouds.

When the earth’s surface get heated by the sunlight, some of the heat radiates back into the atmosphere and most of this heat is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere called green house gases. This process is called greenhouse effect, which keeps the earth warm. The green house gases mainly consists of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Water vapor absorbs the heat radiated from the earth's surface. It allows less heat to escape back to space by trapping the heat energy in the lower atmosphere and keeps the atmosphere warm.

The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is directly proportional to the temperature. When addition of the other greenhouse gases causes a temperature increase (such as extra CO2 from fossil fuels), more water evaporates and this leads to an increase in water vapor which further increases the atmospheric temperature since water vapor is a greenhouse gas. So, water vapor is part of a positive feedback system.

A Punnett square is used to _______.
tigry1 [53]
I think the answer its A because a Punnett square allows the prediction of the percentages of phenotypes in the offspring of a cross from known genotypes. A Punnett square can be used to determine a missing genotype based on the other genotypes involved in a cross.

Biosynthesis of vitamin K (menaquinone) by ________ spp. inhabiting the ________ of humans is a potentially important mutualisti
masya89 [10]

Answer:

1. E.coli

2. Intestinal tract

Explanation:

E.coli bacteria are useful to humans when they live in the large intestine of humans. The large intestine is an important digestive structure as it is important for the reabsorption of the nutrients.

The E.coli living in the intestine use the available digested nutrients and synthesises the vitamin B and K which are absorbed and utilised by the human body.

Thus, E.coli and Intestinal tract is correct.
