Vinil7 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

D. The fox population would decrease

Explanation:

The food web shows that the gray wolves population are the only population that prey on the moose population. If the gray wolves were removed, the population of moose would increase significantly and would dominate the ecosystem. This means that other herbivores won't be able to compete with the moose population for the forages and vegetation in the ecosystem. The population of the other primary consumers/herbivores will reduce also. By implication, the fox which depend on other smaller preys to feed on would not have much prey to feed on. The ultimate effect of the removal of the gray wolves would lead to a later decrease in the population of the fox

Consider the skin replacement developments over the past centuries.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Replacing skin defects has witnessed several developments over the centuries. It started with the introduction of skin grafting by Reverdin in 1871. Since then, varieties of skin grafting techniques have been used successfully. Despite being clinically useful, skin grafts have many limitations including the availability of the donor site especially in circumstances of extensive skin loss, immune rejection in allogenic skin grafts, pain, scarring, slow healing and infection.1,2 For these reasons, scientist have worked hard to find skin substitutes to replace skin defects without the need for a "natural" skin graft. These materials which are used to cover skin defects are called "Skin substitutes". This article briefly discusses the common types of skin substitutes and their clinical uses.

fomenos
The correct option is this: CELL 2 WILL THE ONE THAT WILL BE ABLE TO ELIMINATE WASTES MOST EFFICIENTLY. This is because it has the highest surface area to volume ratio which facilitates the exchange of materials between a cell and its environment.
The rate of diffusion of materials into and out of the cell depends on the surface area to volume ratio of the cell. The higher this ratio, the higher the rate of diffusion.

3. (b) How does crossing over increase the variation in the gametes (and hence the offspring)?
sasho [114]

Answer:

During crossing over, part of one chromosome is exchanged with another. The result is a hybrid chromosome with a unique pattern of genetic material. Gametes gain the ability to be genetically different from their neighboring gametes after crossing over occurs.
