Answer:
Explanation:
Food webs describe the relationships — links or connections — among species in an ecosystem, but the relationships vary in their importance to energy flow and dynamics of species populations. Some trophic relationships are more important than others in dictating how energy flows through ecosystems. Some connections are more influential on species population change. Based on different ways in which species influence one another, Robert Paine proposed three types of food webs based on the species of a rocky intertidal zone on the coast of Washington (Ricklefs 2008, Figure 2). Connectedness webs (or topological food webs) emphasize feeding relationships among species, portrayed as links in a food web (Paine 1980). Energy flow webs quantify energy flow from one species to another. Thickness of an arrow reflects the strength of the relationship. Functional webs (or interaction food webs) represent the importance of each species in maintaining the integrity of a community and reflect influence on the growth rate of other species' populations. As shown in Figure 2, limpets Acmaea pelta and A. mitra in the community consume considerable food energy (energy flow web), but removal of these consumers has no detectable influence on the abundance of their resources (functional web). The most effective control was exerted by sea urchin Stronglocentrotus and the chiton Katharina (Ricklefs 2008).
Answer:
Genotype gray bunnies: GG
Genotype white bunnies: WW
Genotype gray and white bunnies: GW
Explanation:
In diploid species (2n), organisms receive one gene copy (allele) from each parent. Codominance is a relationship that occurs when both alleles of the same gene show dominance. In consequence, the expression of both alleles in heterozygous individuals results in a new phenotype. In this example, the expression of G and W alleles results in a gray and white phenotype. Examples of codominance include individuals with type AB blood group in humans or the roan coat color in horses.
Answer:
A) Calcitonin injection
Explanation:
Parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland produce a hormone which is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. This hormone is Calcitonin. It works in an antagonistic manner with the Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcitonin decreases the calcium level in the blood by increasing absorption of calcium ions in bones. In osteoporosis, when the patient is given the injection of hormone calcitonin, it produces and increase in bone mass because it negatively affects the rate of absorption of bone by the osteoclasts.
Answer:
Astronomers have always assumed that Uranus must have been knocked onto its side by a collision. Now a new idea suggests that the planet's remarkable tilt could have another explanation.
