Researchers have found that the larvae of all North American firefly species glow as a warning sign to ward off predators. Howev
Marrrta [24]

Explanation:

The theory of speciation confirms what happens with fireflies, only fireflies that are part of the same species can reproduce among themselves, which means that fireflies that use pheromones as mating signals will attract fireflies that use that same form or mechanism of reproduction.

Some mechanisms that allow this type of differentiation or speciation to occur are: seasonal or geographic isolation and sexual isolation due to behavior or conduct.

Speciation allows the formation of new populations of organisms that share the same physiological and genetic characteristics. Therefore, the adult fireflies that shine as a mating signal are possibly found in the same geographical position and their physiological and genetic characteristics are compatible with those of his own species.

Which wave diffracts the most when encountering an obstacle?
viva [34]

Answer;

-A wave with the longest wavelength.

Explanation;

-Diffraction is the apparent of wave through,around small obstacles and the spreading out of wave past small openings. When thinking of diffraction of a wave think of shining a flashlight around a corner. The light bends around the corner but there is a place where it is dark and the light does not hit. Diffraction of a wave is basically the wave bending around an object then dispersing out.

-The amount of diffraction (the sharpness of the bending) increases with increasing wavelength and decreases with decreasing wavelength. When the wavelength of the waves is smaller than the obstacle, no noticeable diffraction occurs.

What is true of an object pulled inward in an electric field?
slava [35]

Answer:

option b

Explanation:

There is an object pulled inward in an electric field.

We have to find out of the four options given which is true.

a) The object has a neutral charge is false since when electric field pulls the object inward, there is a charge inside.

b) The object has a charge opposite that of the field, this option is correct since there will be an equal and opposite charge created by the object

c) The object has a negative charge will be correct only if the original charge was positive hence wrong

d) The object has a charge the same as that of the field is incorrect since this would be opposite the charge

So only option b is right

According to Archimede's principle, a physical object experiences an upthrust due to a difference in pressure between upper and lower  surfaces.

<h3>What is an upthrust?</h3>

An upthrust is also referred to as buoyancy and it can be defined as an upward force which is exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas), so as to oppose the weight of a partially or fully immersed physical object that is floating in it.

Based on scientific information, a physical object experiences an upthrust when it is immersed in a fluid due to a difference in height and pressure between upper (top) and lower (bottom) surfaces.

According to Archimede's principle, there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the physical object due to height, and a lower pressure at the top of the physical object.

The magnification of a microscope is increased when_________.
azamat

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnification of Microscope is  

M = M_o \times M_e  

Mo= Magnification of objective lens and  

Me= magnification of the eyepiece.  

Both magnifications( of objective and eyepiece) are inversely proportional to the focal length.  

Magnification,  

M \propto \dfrac{1}{f}

when the focal length is less magnification will be high and when the magnification is the low focal length of the microscope will be more.

Thus. Magnification will increase by decreasing the focal length.

The correct answer is Option B
