The seven-spotted cockroach is a nocturnal species that burrows under leaf litter during the day.

Biology
1 answer:
djyliett [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: C. is less likely to be eaten by a predator.

Explanation:

The adult seven-spotted cockroach is the prey of various other insects including beetles so mimicking the pattern of a beetle would send a message that it is a beetle and because the chemical irritant that the beetle has makes it get avoided by others, the cockroach gets avoided by other insects too who don't want to be sprayed.

Of course this does not always work but it works for the most part and ensures the cockroach's survival.

True or false. Is sympatric speciation, a physical barrier arises and separates two populations l, ending flow between them
timofeeve [1]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The above statement is <u>False </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Speciation is an evolutionary process in which new species arise. There are three types of speciation, namely; sympatric, parapatric and allopatric speciation.
  • <em><u>Sympatric speciation is a pattern in which speciation occurs in the absence of a physical barrier to gene flow; ex. polyploidy arising in flowers.</u></em>
  • In an Allopatric speciation on the other hand, a physical barrier arises and separates two populations, ending gene flow between them and allowing reproductive isolating mechanisms to evolve so that later if the two groups come back into contact they will no longer be able to reproduce together, therefore making them different species.

Contact with infected cats and their feces is the only mode of transmission of Toxoplasma to humans. Contact with infected cats
Mkey [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Toxoplasma is a congenital disease that is characterized by mild muscle aches, tender lymph nodes, etc. and in some immuno-compromised individuals, seizures and coordination loss may occur. I

The disease is caused by a protozoan known as <em>Toxoplasma gondii </em>and its infection is usually by eating foods (usually meats) that contain the cyst of the organism or making contact with cats that are infected in addition to infected mother-baby transmission, especially during pregnancy.

<em>Hence, humans can contract the organism not just by exposure to an infected cat but also by eating meats that contain the cysts of the organism.</em>

Consider the following five infectious diseases: Ebola hemorrhagic fever avian influenza SARS West Nile encephalitis mad cow dis
arsen [322]

Answer:

All these are emerging infectious diseases.

Explanation:

The emerging infectious diseases refer to the infections, which have appeared freshly within a population or those whose occurrence or geographic range is enhancing briskly or is threatening to upsurge in the coming time. The emerging infections can be a result of:  

1. Known agents, which have dispersed to novel geographic locations or new populations.  

2. Previously unknown or undetermined infectious agents.  

3. Previously known agents whose function in particular diseases was not determined previously.  

According to WHO, infectious diseases are emerging at a rate, which has not been noticed before. Since the 1970s, many infectious diseases have been discovered like Ebola, SARS, avian influenza, mad cow disease, and West Nile encephalitis.  

With the individuals traveling much more to far greater distances in comparison to the past, encountering with wild animals, and living in more densely populated regions has caused the emerging infectious diseases to spread briskly and is resulting in global epidemics, which is a major worry.
