Suppose a population of crabs in a certain tidal ecosystem thrives. These male crabs have one large claw and one small claw, but

Answer: The population having one large claw will have more offspring as compared to the ones having smaller claw.

Explanation:

A population of crabs has two types of crabs in it, one with larger claw and other with smaller claw. They will try to attract the female crab in order to mate.

The males having larger claw are more attractive to the females. Females choose to prefer larger claw over smaller claw because they will have a big burrow which will help her incubate her eggs and they are older (survivor)because the crustaceans grow majority of their life.

So, the crab with large claw is likely to have more offspring than other one.

However, if placing in the light in absence of the food sources it should not grow if it is not able to perform photosynthesis but it does which means there is a photosynthesis process also involve in the Elysia.

One potential complication of celiac disease is osteoporosis, which can occur as the body utilizes bone tissue to maintain adequ
blondinia [14]

Reduce osteoblast activity while boosting osteoclast activity

osteoblast:

  • Untreated celiac disease has a number of potential side effects, including the failure for children to reach their ideal bone density and adult bone loss, both of which raise the risk of osteoporosis. Following a gluten-free diet is the only way to treat celiac disease.
  • As a result, celiac disease is common in both children and adults with low bone density. When celiac disease is discovered in an adult, the risk of osteoporosis is very significant (because they have gone longer without absorbing enough calcium and other nutrients).
  • Osteoporosis is a bone disease that appears when bone mass, bone mineral density, or both drop or when the quality or structure of the bone deteriorates. This may result in a loss of bone density and an elevated risk of fractures (broken bones).
