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.

A horizontally oriented pipe has a diameter of 5.8 cm and is filled with water. The pipe draws water from a reservoir that is in
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

v₂ = 97.4 m / s

Explanation:

Let's write the Bernoulli equation

         P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Index 1 is for tank and index 2 for exit

We can calculate the pressure in the tank with the equation

        P = F / A

Where the area of ​​a circle is

       A = π r²

E radius is half the diameter

      r = d / 2

      A = π d² / 4

We replace

    P = F 4 / π d²2

    P₁ = 397 4 /π  0.058²

    P₁ = 1.50 10⁵ Pa

The water velocity in the tank is zero because it is at rest (v1 = 0)

The outlet pressure, being open to the atmosphere is P1 = 1.13 105 Pa

Since the pipe is horizontal y₁ = y₂

We replace on the first occasion

   P₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂²

  v₂ = √ (P1-P2) 2 / ρ

  v₂ = √ [(1.50-1.013) 10⁵ 2/1000]

  v₂ = 97.4 m / s
