6. Which statement about seagulls and sea stars is true?

Biology
1 answer:
Natali5045456 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B.  Sea stars are the prey of seagulls

Explanation:

Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).

Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism

Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey.  For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)

Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite.  Think of a dog with a tick.  The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.  

Incorrect answers (and why):

A.  Sea stars do not eat seagulls

C.  If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls.  They do not.

D.  A host is an organism that a parasite preys on.  Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.  

I hope this helps! :)

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given ,

A1 allele is carried by 70 % people

Let us assume A1 s dominant genotype

This means p= \frac{70}{100} = 0.7

Thus, frequency of allele in the given population is 0.7

It is also given that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium thus

p+q=1\\0.7+q=1\\q = 1-0.7\\q= 0.3

Frequency of fruit fly with genotype A2A2 will be

q^2\\= (0.3)^2\\= 0.09

As per Hardy-Weinberg's second equation of equilibrium

p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\0.49+0.09+2pq = 1\\2pq = 1-0.49-0.09\\2pq= 0.42

Hence, option C is correct
