Why is it highly unlikely the adaptations seen in the killifish could occur in other species of

Biology
1 answer:
Natasha_Volkova [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer/Explanation:

Killifish are unique in that their species contains a lot more genetic diversity than most animals. The genetic mutations that allowed some to adapt were already present in these populations. Species that are less genetically diverse may not have the right molecular tools to adapt.

Describe how energy and matter move through the environment under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
elixir [45]

<span>1.    </span>Describe how energy and matter move through the environment under <span>
A. Aerobic conditions -Photosynthesis and Respiration
-After photosynthesis occurs, the plant enters the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle uses the by-product of photosynthesis which is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide combined with water yields glucose (used as food) and oxygen that is released back into the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, respiration occurs which uses the oxygen and glucose to yield carbon dioxide and water which starts the carbon cycle.

B. Anaerobic conditions Muscle respiration 
-This process does not require the use of oxygen.
Glucose stored in the body is used during muscle respiration to produce lactic acid and energy that is used for movement. </span>

<span>2.    </span><span> What is chemosynthesis?</span><span>
<span>- Chemosynthesis relies on chemical reactions to produce food. Inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen enter into a chemical reaction that yields sugar, sulfur, and water, Chemosynthesis occurs most commonly in deep-sea ecosystems where the sun cannot penetrate. </span></span>

<span>3.    </span>How do chemosynthetic organisms get energy?

<span>-      </span><span>Chemosynthetic organisms make use of chemicals found on the seafloor or on the sea environment. They convert these chemicals through a reaction that yields glucose (which the plants use for food) and sulfur as by-products. In turn, other organisms will use the sulfur by-product to initiate another chemosynthetic reaction to create food.</span>

Yuki has a bowl of ice. She places the ice in a warm room and watches as it melts into liquid water. Yuki then places the liquid
Bond [772]
Because Yuki started off with a bowl of ice right. She sat in the room and watched the ice melt, the ice melts when the temperature is to hot then she heats up the water on a burner and it vaporizes when the water gets to hot.

An antibiotic was effective 20 years ago against a specific type of a specific type of bacterial infection no longer works again
Sliva [168]

c. Resistant bacteria have survived and reproduced at a greater rate than nonresistant bacteria

Explanation:

The antibiotic is no longer effective as it was 20 years ago because the resistant bacterial have survived and reproduced at a greater rate than the non-resistant bacteria.

  • The antibiotics have specifically designed to exterminate the disease causing bacteria strain from the body.
  • While at that point in time, it is potent and does the work. Along the line, it will cause the structures of some other strains to change.
  • This will lead to the development of resistant breeds with time.
  • The resistant breed will then be able to survive the onslaught of the antibiotics making it not a good fit.

Some people see wind energy as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. Others believe that utilizing this renewable energy resource
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Renewable energy resource as an obstacles for the growth of migratory salmon populations: It is now believed that the reduce access to spawning grounds and nursery areas, leading to a decrease in migratory fish populations is due to the dam structures of large storage-type schemes, which can create great obstacles for the movement of migratory fish species.

Explanation:

  • Storage-type schemes ( big dams) can significantly change the downstream flow regime,and may also alter water temperature and quality, and even make it inhabitable for fish to live.
  • As the storage of water can be linked with high evaporative losses, which in turn results in high life cycle water footprints compared to other sources of electricity.

<u>Run-of-river (ROR) schemes are HEP schemes: </u>

They operate without water storage, using the flow within a river channel.They are ecologically friendly and do not disturb the natural mechanism for the migrating salmons.

Working Principle:

They are normally used to regulate water levels, which allows a proportion or part of flow to be diverted down a secondary channel to a turbine before it is returned to the main channel further downstream.

There are some modern turbine types used in ROR HEP(hydroelectric power) schemes, which are also designed to allow fish to pass through the system unharmed if the fish do pass through the intake screens.

According to natural selection, individuals that tend to survive are those that have which of the following?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The genetic variations that are best suited for their enviornment

Explanation:

Those that are not well suited for their environment will die off, leaving only the ones that are suited for it. This species will slowly take hold until the species has adapted and become a completely different one.
