Female spiders only mate when a male of the same species taps her web in a particular way. This is an example of:

Answer:

Behavioral isolation.

Explanation:

It is an example of behavioral isolation because it is a mating ritual that only this species of spiders recognize. In other words, there could be another type of spider near the web, but only one of the same species will tap the web in a particular way to initiate a mating ritual.

Different spider species can reproduce, but they do not do it. The reason is that they do not recognize the mating rituals of other species.

Consider the uninoculated tube.

Nostrana [21]

The uninoculated tube is considered to be a negative control because a negative control is an effect of having to show no response. Am uninoculated control is where organisms are not being inoculated such as having a culture bacteria of not being inoculated with an organism.

Which statements about kinetic energy are true? It's always transformed into potential energy. It's always associated with motio

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

It's always associated with motion

It can be transferred from one object or body to another

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body.

Moving objects possess kinetic energy which is resident in that body.
As with other forms of energy, it can be transferred from one body to another.
Kinetic energy can express itself as thermal energy, electrical energy, mechanical energy etc..
As a body moves, the kinetic energy is increases.

G) type of adherens junction connecting cells with the extracellular matrix. focal adhesion

H) intermediate filaments associated with plaques. Tonofilaments

I) collection of adherens junctions particularly associated with epithelial cells.

J) type of adhesive junction containing actin microfilaments. Adherens junctions

K) specialized modifications of the cell membrane in which two cells come together in multicellular organisms. Cell junctions

L) point of cytoplasmic contact between two cells. Gap junction

M) anchors cytoskeleton of one cell with that of a neighboring cell. Adhesive junction

Explanation:

Connexin: is a transmembrane protein that forms the gap junctions, they are also called gap junctions proteins.

Hemidesmosome junctions: these types of junctions are in the epidermis, specifically between the epithelial cells and the basal lamina of the epidermis.

Plaque: they are part of the adherens junctions, they are fibrous proteins that are attached to certain points of the extracellular matrix.

Tight junctions: are junctions between two epithelia, they are very restrictive and do not allow the passage of soluble molecules creating a permeability barrier.

Desmosomes: are very strong cell to cell junctions on the lateral sides of plasma membranes. They are in tissues that are under mechanical stress, such as the cardiac muscle.

Connexons: is a pore made of six connexin proteins in a gap junction. Connexons are the ones that connect two cells in gap junctions.

Focal adhesions: They connect the extracellular matrix with the cell, regulatory signs and mechanical force is transmitted through them.

Tonofilaments: tonofilaments are the ones that are associated with a plaque in adherens junctions, they are in epithelial tissues.

Adherens junctions: are cell to cell junctions where the cytoplasmatic face is connected to the actin cytoskeleton. They appear as spots forming the plaque or as zonula adherens, which are actin bands around the cell.

Cell junctions are protein complexes that connect two cells that are next to each other or a cell with the extracellular matrix. They have a lot of functions, such as pas information from cell to cell, or the exterior, form a barrier, synchronize cells, etc.

Gap junctions: are connections between the cytoplasm of two cells, molecules and, ions pass directly from one cell to the other.
