Drag the following examples to the correct type of species interactions that they exhibit.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

I believe the options are:

  1. Birds feed in berries produced by a tree. The birds receive a food source and the tree is able to disperse its seeds.
  2. An egret follows cattle in a field eating insects that are stirred  up. The egret receives a food source and the cattle are  unaffected.
  3. Abundance of host decreases.
  4. Abundance of both species increases.
  5. Ticks feed on the blood of a deer. The tick receives  vital nutrients and the deer is left weakened.
  6. Abundance of parasite increases.
  7. Abundance of one species increases, and the other is  not affected.

Species Interactions:

The correct species interactions are:

Parasitism:

3. Abundance of host decreases.

5. Ticks feed on the blood of a deer. The tick receives vital nutrients and the deer is left weakened.

6. Abundance of the parasite increases.

Commensalism:

2. An egret follows cattle in a field eating insects that are stirred  up. The egret receives a food source and the cattle are  unaffected.

7. Abundance of one species increases, and the other is  not affected.

Mutualism:

4. Abundance of both species increases.

1. Birds feed in berries produced by a tree. The birds receive a food source and the tree is able to disperse its seeds.

Explanation:

Species Interactions:

Species interactions are relationships between different members of a community. The main types are:

  1. Competition
  2. Parasitism
  3. Mutualism
  4. Commensalism
  5. Predation

Parasitism:

A relationship between two organisms in which one organism (parasite) lives in or on the host, derives its nutrients from the host and in turn, harms the host. In the above examples, the ticks feeding on deer blood derive nutrients from the deer but harm the deer as a result.

Commensalism:

A species interaction that involves one organism deriving benefits from another but the other neither loses nor gains any benefits i.e. the other organism is unaffected. In the above examples, the egret uses the cattle to find food but in turn the cattle are unaffected.

Mutualism:

In mutualism, both the organisms receive benefits from the species interaction. In the above examples, the birds benefit from the tree by retrieving nutrients and in turn the tree benefits in the dispersal of its seeds.

How does the vegetation surface type affect the amount of runoff
jekas [21]
I believe it affects the amount of runoff because soil in plants tries to absorb water which would take some of that runoff water

Provide an adaptive and a nonadaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of useless organs, such as eyes in many cave-dwelling
Zepler [3.9K]

In order to be able to Provide an adaptive and a non-adaptive hypothesis, the following is required

<h3>What is adaptation?</h3>

It refers to a trait or an integrated set of traits that increases the fitness of an organism. It is the process of improving the fit of phenotype to environment through natural selection.

<h3>What is non adaptation?</h3>

it refers to those traits that do not result in the better adaptation of the organism to its environment, and does not increase the genetic fitness of the organism.

Let us take the case of vain organs. There may be a metabolic value to constructing a vain organ, and subsequently the humans who have misplaced that organ might also have a selective advantage. Also, if the organ is useless, the mutations that disrupt the improvement of that organ would be evolutionarily neutral, and may want to unfold to fixation via genetic drift.

So an adaptive hypothesis as to why an organism may lose useless organs is energy trade offs. The organism may additionally be losing energy in growing and retaining a vain organ, whilst this strength can be higher used someplace else. So an organism that lives in a darkish cave might also sooner or later lose its eyes considering eyes are of no use inside a darkish cave.

A non adaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of organs can be random mutation. If a random mutation occurs that causes an organism to lose its eyes, in a dark cave where it does not use its eyes anyway, it could still survive, reproduce and pass that mutation down.

Watson and Crick first built a triple-helix model of DNA. In this model, the nitrogenous bases were on the outside of the DNA mo
Sedaia [141]

Because it makes accessing them easier for the cell, it is assumed that the bases will be on the outside of the DNA molecule.

<h3>What is DNA molecule?</h3>
  • Because the two DNA strands are made up of simpler monomeric units termed nucleotides, they are referred to as polynucleotides.
  • Each nucleotide is made up of a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and one of the four nitrogen-containing nucleobases (cytosine [C], guanine [G], adenine [A], or thymine [T]).
  • An alternating sugar-phosphate backbone is created when the nucleotides are linked together in a chain by covalent connections (also referred to as the phospho-diester linkage) between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next.
  • To create double-stranded DNA, the nitrogenous bases of the two distinct polynucleotide strands are joined by hydrogen bonds in accordance with the base pairing principles (A with T and C with G). Pyrimidines and purines make up the two families of complimentary nitrogenous bases.
