Marine biologists are studying stickleback fish populations. There are two distinct variations in the sticklebacks based on phen

otypes. They are found with the three spines more commonly in marine ecosystems while they are more commonly found without the three spines in freshwater ecosystems. This has been observed in many marine and freshwater ecosystems across the globe. What explains the variation seen in the image here across different aquatic ecosystems?

Answer:

Presence of predators.

Explanation:

Presence and absence of predators is the main cause of the presence of spines on stickleback fish populations because these spines helps in the protection against predators. The stickleback fish populations that lives in marine ecosystem have spines because there are many predators are present while on the other hand, stickleback fish populations of freshwater ecosystems have no spines due to no predator so they acquire the adaptation of having no spines.

What conclusion can you draw from the data? a. All Rhizobium strains have a similar, highly positive effect on plant growth. b.
finlep [7]

Answer:

Rhizobium is a bacterium that has positive effects on plant growth. Different strains display a wide range of effectiveness, from a little positive effect to a massive one. The strains used in the study did not show a positive effect promoting plant growth, so we could say that they ARE NOT Rhizobium strains and need to be properly identified.

A wolf population is living in an arctic climate. The wolf has a dominant trait for short fur and a recessive trait for long fur
Paha777 [63]

As the wolves with short hair decreases (because the environment does not encourage their survival), there will be less competition for the food that both would need. The long haired wolf even with a recessive gene, would increase in number.

A might be true but the hair length by itself will not cause the extinction of the entire wolf population.

C is simply not true. Your givens tell you that the long hair are more likely to survive.

B is the answer, for the reason given above.

Which point in this graph shows the beginning of a period of exponential growth
almond37 [142]

Two types of population growth patterns may occur depending on specific environmental conditions: An exponential growth pattern (J curve) occurs in an ideal, unlimited environment. A logistic growth pattern (S curve) occurs when environmental pressures slow the rate of growth.
