Biology

6 0

Answer:

hope this helps..

Explanation:

Dependent on the level of comparison four types of homology are defined: ( 1) Iterative ( = serial = homonomy), (2) ontogenetic, (3) di- or polymor- phic, and (4) supraspecific homology. ... Scientists have recently been paying renewed attention to the homology question.

Homology is the study of likeness, the similarity between species that results from inheritance of traits from a common ancestor. The study of similarities is broken up into three main categories: structural, developmental, and molecular homology.

Which answer best defines what the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model mathematically describes?-The competition among many preda
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The simultaneous effect of a predator population on a prey population and a prey population on a predator population over time.

Explanation:  

The mathematical models of Lotka-Volterra equations explain the existing interaction between species in which prey and predator influence and affect each other. The model follows a few assumptions,    

  • The ecosystem is isolated and closed. There is no migration.
  • The whole individuals are reproductively equivalent.
  • In the absence of the predator, prey shows an exponential growth rate. The prey is in the ideal environment.  
  • When there is no prey, the predator population decreases exponentially because of the lack of food. The predator environment is ideal, but it is limited by prey density.  
  • The predation rate is proportional to the encounters rate, which also depends on density.  
  • The predators affect the prey populations, inducing its decrease proportionally to the number of prey and predators present.  
  • The prey population also influences the predator population proportionally to the number of encounters between the two species.  

In these equations, the variable D is the number of predators, and P the number of prey items.

The parameters are always constant:  

• r1: prey growth rate.  

• a1: predator hunting success.  

• r2: predator growth rate.  

• a2: the success of the predator in hunting and feeding.

In nature, many factors affect interactions, such as dense-dependent factors and dense-independent factors. Also, in reality, there are stochastic factors. Stochasticity refers to the variability in the system involving those factors that are affecting or influencing population growth. Stochasticity might be related to good years and bad years for population growth.

In real situations, the compliance of the whole assumption does not occur. The previously mentioned constants might vary, constantly changing the interaction between the predator and the prey. These parameters change in different degrees, resulting in varying circumstances for both species.

What happens during radioactive decay, and what is the result at the end of radioactive decay
natulia [17]
Radioactive decay occurs when an atom has either to many or to few neutrons and becomes unstable and start to emit radio active radioactive radiation and the atom start to decompose.

At the end two things can happen either the atom will transform in a new element with a lower atomic # and atomic mass # or the remaining neutron will transform into an electron and be on its own way

Which of the following characteristics is not attributed to the sympathetic division of the ANS?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

C) It has a long preganglionic fibers

Explanation:

Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the nervous system that contains nerves and ganglia outside the central nervous system (CNS). PNS is divided into:

  1. somatic (voluntary) nervous system-controls the movements of the skeletal muscles
  2. autonomic (involuntary) nervous system-controls the smooth muscles and glands and thus it is the regulator of the major body functions. It is subdivided into tree groups:
  • sympathetic ("fight and flight") system-responsible for stressful and active situations (but also in normal conditions);contains short preganglionic fibers and long postganglionic fibers.
  • parasympathetic ("rest and digest") system-opposite to sympathetic, responsible for the maintenance of body's activities at rest.
  • enteric nervous system-controls the function of the gastrointestinal tract.
