Elephants are considered K-strategists because they give birth to only one calf at a time and most have five years in between ha

ving another calf. Calves stay under the protection of the mother and her herd until maturity at 10-15 years of age. What type of survivorship curve do elephants tend to follow

8 0

Answer:

Type I curve

Explanation:

The K-strategist are species characterized by relatively stable populations that fluctuate at the carrying capacity of the habitat or niche in which organisms reside. Elephants are considered as K-strategists because they have a low population growth rate and relatively stable populations. There are three different types of survivorship curves. The Type I curve (also referred to as A curve) is characteristic of k-strategist organisms. Humans and elephants exhibit a Type I survivorship curve in which organisms tend to die when they become elderly. These species have a small number of offspring and provide parental care to ensure their survival. In a Type II survivorship curve, species produce many offspring and only some offspring survive (e.g., birds), while in Type III survivorship curve organisms produce many more offspring and most do not survive (i.e., r-strategists such as frogs or insects).

Which of the following correctly compares Ornithischian and Saurischian dinosaurs?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The option c is partly correct.

Explanation:

None of the statements is completely accurate because:

a. Saurischian dinosaurs include theropod and sauropod dinosaurs, and their common ancestors. Ornithischians comprise neornithischians (ornithopods and ceratopsians), thyreophorans (ankylosaurs and stegosaurs) and heterdontosaurids.

b. Capability to fly has only been documented in fossils belonging to Saurischia (where the birds are also classified in). Feathers, on the other hand, do appear in the two clades. Feathers, however, are not a trait exclusively associated to flight.

c. This is a correct comparison between ornithischians and saurischians in the sense that the attributes do belong to these clades, but when comparing animals there most be a comparison that reflects a pattern. Ornithischians have leaf shaped teeth suited to eat plant material, whereas saurischians have teeth for a carnivore and herbivore diet.

d. Sauropods are saurischians and they evolved herbivory from a meat-eater ancestor.

Which section of the brain is responsible for coordinating muscle movements
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The cerebellum (back of the brain) and the brainstem (middle of the brain)

Explanation:

Muscle movement coordination can be<em> voluntary</em> or <em>involuntary</em>. There are different sections of the brain responsible for the two;

  • Voluntary movement of muscles is coordinated by the brainstem in addition to other functions such as sneezing, swallowing, vomitting, etc.
  • Involuntary coordination of muscles is controlled by the cerebellum in addition to maintaining posture, balance and body equilibrium.

Hence, both the cerebellum and the brainstem are responsible for coordinating muscle movement.
