Which of the following is the best example of parasitism?

Biology
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A tick sucking a deer's blood

Explanation:

All other examples show mutualistic relationships - both species benefit from the relationship.  With parasitism the one species benefits (the tick) while the other suffers (deer).

Why the rainforest in Costa Rica is not rich with plants? Remember to use scientific language
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Deforestation is the major problem causing lack of rich species in Costa Rica. This is due to over grazing by cattle.This may lead to flooding which affect fertility of the soil.These animals graze on  the plants without regulations,and cause erosion as their hoofs percolate the soil,  further reducing soil fertility.

In addition to sustain the beef production,  trees were fell to for cattle ranching.This ultimately contributed to loss of the forest species.

Banana plantation is an  additional factor.Forest were cleared to cultivate banana, which affects forest population.

Types of minerals change in heated (First blank) area rock. A record of biological time can be found in (second blank) area rock
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Types of minerals change in heated<u><em> metamorphic </em></u>area rock. A record of biological time can be found in <u><em>sedimentary</em></u> area rock. Matter changes state from liquid to solid to form<u><em> igneous </em></u>area rock

Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks can be described as a type of rocks which arise by the phenomenon of metamorphism. Immense heat and pressure changes previous rocks (sedimentary, igneous or other metamorphic rocks) into metamorphic rocks.

Sedimentary rocks can be described as the type of rocks which are made by the deposition of minerals or organic particles and hence, help in evolutionary studies.

Igneous rocks can be described as the rocks which are made from lava or magma (hence changing state from liquid to solid).

Wheat has flowers similar to those in Fig. 5.1, but reproduces by self-pollination. Explain the consequences of self-pollination
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The transfer of mature pollen grain from anther of the flower to the stigma of the same flower of the same [species  is called self pollination.

Generally, the transfer of pollen grains by wind,animals,and water  to stigmas is called pollination. It is a means of vegetative propagation which ensures reproduction.

Therefore during self pollination, the same genes are distributed  from one generation to another. Thus genetic purity is ensured. It also ensured reproductive success. because there is little chance of the pollen grain getting lost in transit. It is also certain  a particular plant would always breed true.

Additionally it prevent  the process of transfer of genes in some transgenic crops( rice, maize) where through genetic engineering some genes are introduced in their genome.

The only negative effect is lack of genetic diversity. Therefore after a period of time the plants get  weak and prone to diseases and infection. Because of poor resistant from lack of variation.
