Researchers have found that the larvae of all North American firefly species glow as a warning sign to ward off predators. Howev

er, the presence and use of lighting organs in adult fireflies vary greatly. Some species use glowing or light flashes as mating signals, while other species produce pheromones as mating signals and do not glow at all. Discuss how the physical characteristics and mating behavior of North American fireflies support the theory of speciation. In your discussion, provide a hypothesis to explain the driving force behind the differences in mating signals among the species.

Explanation:

The theory of speciation confirms what happens with fireflies, only fireflies that are part of the same species can reproduce among themselves, which means that fireflies that use pheromones as mating signals will attract fireflies that use that same form or mechanism of reproduction.

Some mechanisms that allow this type of differentiation or speciation to occur are: seasonal or geographic isolation and sexual isolation due to behavior or conduct.

Speciation allows the formation of new populations of organisms that share the same physiological and genetic characteristics. Therefore, the adult fireflies that shine as a mating signal are possibly found in the same geographical position and their physiological and genetic characteristics are compatible with those of his own species.

El dormitorio de Pablo es rectangular, y sus lados miden 3 y 4 metros. Ha decidido dividirlo en dos partes triangulares con una
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

 c = 5 m

Explanation:

this exercise you want to divide the rectangular room into two triangular rooms

                 

the area of ​​triangles is

           A = ½ base height

           A = ½ 4 3

          A = 6 m²

the length of the curtain can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

           c² = b² + a²

           c = √ (4² + 3²)

           c = 5 m

this is the length of the curtain

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 520 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
Goshia [24]

Answer:

1) θ = 0.00118 rad, 2)  θ = 0.00236 rad , 3) I / I₀ = 0.1738, 4)  I / Io = 0.216

Explanation:

In the double-slit interference phenomenon it is explained for constructive interference by the equation

          d sin θ = m λ

1) the first order maximum occurs for m = 1

           sin θ = λ  / d

           θ = sin⁻¹ λ  / d

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

           λ  = 520 nm = 520 10⁻⁹  θ = 0.00118 radm

           d = 0.440 mm = 0.440 10⁻³ m ³

let's calculate

           θ = sin⁻¹ (520 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)

            θ = sin⁻¹ (1.18 10⁻³)

            θ = 0.00118 rad

2) the second order maximum occurs for m = 2

            θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ  / d)

            θ = sin⁻¹ (2 5¹20 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)

            θ = 0.00236 rad

3) To calculate the intensity of the interference spectrum, the diffraction phenomenon must be included, so the equation remains

          I = I₀ cos² (π d sin θ /λ ) sinc² (pi b sin θ /λ )

where the function sinc = sin x / x

and b is the width of the slits

we caption the values

             x = π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹)

             x = 2.21

            I / I₀ = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin (2.21) /2.21)²

remember angles are in radians

            I / I₀ = cos² (3.0945) [0.363] 2

            I / I₀ = 0.9978 0.1318

            I / I₀ = 0.1738

4) the maximum second intensity is

            I / I₀ = cos² (π d sinθ / λ) sinc² (πb sin θ /λ)

            x =π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹)

            x = 4.41

            I / Io = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin 4.41 / 4.41)²

            I / Io = cos² 6.273    0.216

            I / Io = 0.216

How do stocks and bonds differ
Liula [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stocks give you partial ownership in a corporation, while bonds are a loan from you to a company or government. The biggest difference between them is how they generate profit: stocks must appreciate in value and be sold later on the stock market, while most bonds pay fixed interest over time.
