The correct answer is option (A) to discover new aspects of the natural world.
The study of rock formations and living organisms in previously unexplored water habitats helps a scientist to discover the newer aspects of the natural world. The unexplored water habitats are the best source to understand the newer aspects of the aquatic bodies like the new species of plants or animals, factors affecting the aquatic life and the different types interactions in the habitats. The study of rock also helps in the study of plants and animals, which were once a part of the habitat, now in the form of fossils.
Thus, the study of rock formations cannot explain the recently observed phenomena as they help in the study of fossils. The study of living organisms in previously unexplored water habitats cannot be applied to test the conclusions of prior investigations and test the predictions of current theories as they remained unexplored.
Sediment - rock that has formed from sediment deposited by water or air
Deposition - the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass
Environment - the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The Ames test is a bacteriological technique commonly used to determine if a particular chemical or substance can cause mutations. To achieve this, researchers use bacteria (commonly <em>Salmonella typhimurium</em>) as this bacteria strain is unable to grow in a medium that does not contain histidine (a very important amino acid in the biosynthesis of proteins). If the studied substance is able to cause mutations, bacteria will mutate, and they will be able to grow on that particular media even if they don’t have histidine for their metabolism. Therefore, if there are colonies growing, the chemical being tested is mutagenic.
I hope this clarify your inquiry.
Answer:
a move from the fundamental niche to the realized niche for both species.
Explanation:
The niche of an organism is the functional role of the organism in the community or the ecosystem as a whole. This include the environment an organism lives and all the jobs it does in it.
Fundamental niche refers to all the possible functional roles of an organism in an ecosystem while realized niche refers to the specific roles the organism is limited to as a result of resource limitation, competition or other factors.
Resource partitioning involves the division of limited resources among organisms so as to avoid competition within the niche.
<em>Hence, resource partitioning causes a move from the fundamental niche of an organism to the realized niche of that organism. </em>
