Birds are the main predators of these beetles; they hunt the beetles by sight and pick them off the tree bark where they feed. A

logging company clears trees off an island and plants younger trees as a replacement. Trees with light bark are planted on one side of the island, and trees with dark bark are planted on the other side of the island. What do you predict would happen to the range of coloration in the population of beetles living on the light-colored trees of the island

Birds are the main predators of these beetles; they hunt the beetles by sight and pick them up off of the tree bark where they feed. A logging company clears the trees off of the island and plants younger trees as a replacement. Trees with light bark are planted on one side of the island and trees with dark bark are planted on the other side of the island. What do you predict would happen to the range of coloration in the populations of beetles on each side of the island?

Select TWO answers, one to represent the beetles living on the light colored trees and one to represent the beetles living on the dark colored trees. (2 points)

A. graph 2 below

B. graph 3 below

C. graph 4 below

D. graph 5 below

Answer:

B. graph 3 below

D. graph 5 below

Explanation:

The original population of beetles (Graph 1) shows that most individuals had an intermediate phenotype between dark and light color. The graph expresses its highest point in the middle of the phenotypic ax, while the curve´s tails coincide with light and dark colors.

Probably, most of the trees inhabiting the whole island had some darkish color tone, which beetles used to camouflage and avoid predation.

When the company cleared the area and reforested, they planted light trees on one half and dark trees on the other half of the island. This change in the environment modeled the beetled phenotype, together with predation pressure.

<em>If we consider the whole original population, we should say that it went under a disruptive selection.</em> But if we think about the sides of the island separately, we could say that the population living on each side went under directional selection. We are not thinking about the whole population of beetled inhabiting the whole island, but two groups inhabiting each side of the island.

  • Graph 3 represents the beetles inhabiting the part of the land with dark trees. The population went under directional selection, and most of them turned into dark-colored to camouflage with the substrate in which they live.
  • Graph 5 represents the beetles inhabiting the other part of the land with light trees. The population went under directional selection, and most of them became light-colored to camouflage with the substrate in which they live.

fredd [130]
The correct answer is this one: "C) Nnew = Nold + 2." A student is studying a process in which a diploid cell becomes haploid. The CORRECT mathematical model for the process if Nnew is the number of chromosomes in the haploid cell and Nold is the number of chromosomes in the diploid cell is this: <span>new = Nold + 2

Answer:

amino acids

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

lungs

liver

kidneys

nitrogen

toxic

Explanation:

Excretion refers to the removal of waste products that is produced from amino acids metabolism.

Carbon dioxide is formed in living organisms in the process of both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration and can be removed from the body through lungs.

Urea is produced in the liver and then the blood is to be sent to the kidney and which is excreted from the body.

Urea is compounds of nitrogen which is formed from amino acids that contains toxic substances which the body does not need.​

Evidence suggests that Homo erectus obtained food mainly through:
ella [17]

Answer:

C. Scavenging of dead animals and gathering of plants (just as Homo <em>habilis</em> had done), and perhaps the hunting of smaller animals

Explanation:

Homo <em>erectus</em> (erect man): Homo erectus is believed to be appeared about 1.5 million years ago. It was in the middle Pleistocene age when they evolved from homo habilis. Homo erectus probably ate meat, was around 1.5-1.8 meters tall and males were probably larger than females. As the name suggests they has erect posture. His skull was flatter than that of modern man and he had protruding jaws. Other features includes projecting brow ridges, small canines and large molar teeth. Their cranial capacity was 900 cc. Cranium was dome shaped to accommodate the large brain. Homo erectus was omnivorous and he made various tools using stones and bones. He made use of fire for hunting, defense and cooking. Homo erectus inculdes three fossils: Java Ape-man, Peking man and Heidelberg man.
