4 0

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

To calculate this, scientists use a formula called the biodiversity index in order to describe how much are the species of a given area diverse. It is calculated by taking the number of species in the area and divided by the total number of individuals in that area. This gives us the biodiversity index.

In this example, there are 15 species in an area and we divide that by 150 organisms to get a 0.1 biodiversity index.

According to the phylogenetic tree, which domains are more genetically related?
quester [9]

Answer: The correct answer is- Archaea and Eukarya.

As per the information about the (phylogenetic tree) given in the question,

the last branch of the phylogenetic tree begins with the line of Eukarya and then holds the species of the Archaea division, which includes those prokaryotic organisms that live in extremely harsh environmental conditions ( such as Methanobacterium, and extreme halophiles).  

As this last branch holds species of two domains ( from 3 domain system of classification that includes Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya) , which are Archaea and Eukarya as it begins with Eukarya and later on holds the species of Archaea.

Thus, it shows that Archaea and Eukarya are more genetically related.

Which of the following best explains ways in which fish and mammals differ? (2 points)
VLD [36.1K]
The answer is <span>Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring.

Through the elimination process:
</span><span>* Fish are <u>invertebrates</u> and have scales and paired fins, while mammals are vertebrates and have fur or hair. - Fish are vertebrates!
</span><span>* Fish are <u>endothermic</u> and have gills, while mammals are <u>ectothermic</u> and have lungs. - Fish are ectothermic (cold-blooded), and mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded)!
</span>* <span>Fish have streamlined bodies and <u>three-chambered hearts</u>, while mammals are <u>bipedal</u> and have four-chambered hearts. - Fish have four chambered hearts and not all mammals are bipedal!

This leaves choice: </span><span>Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring. All of this is true, but it should be taken into consideration that some fish give live birth and some mammals lay eggs, but this is the most possible choice among all mentioned.</span>
