Two frog populations (same species) living in two neighboring lakes sing slightly different courtship songs. Increased irrigatio

n makes the land between the two lakes wetter, allowing frogs to expand their ranges to the area between the lakes. Females in both populations prefer loud frogs to quieter frogs but do not distinguish between the two slightly different songs. Assuming that courtship song differences have a genetic basis, predict what will likely happen to the songs of the two frog populations.
A. You cannot predict a change in the courtship songs at the two lakes.
B. Disruptive selection will cause the songs to differentiate even more.
C. The songs will become more similar to each other.
D. Males will become louder.
E. Genetic drift will cause the songs to differentiate even more.

Answer:

C. The songs will become more similar to each other.

Explanation:

To answer this question, first, you need to remember that both populations belong to the same species, so they can mate because there is no reproductive barrier. The only limiting physical factor impeding individuals of both groups to cross was the piece of land before the land got wetter. So once populations got together, individuals can easily mate.

One population´s males exhibit a courtship song that slightly differs from the one of the other group. This difference has a genetic basis. But females hardly notice the difference. All of them prefer loud frogs to quieter frogs, independently of the population to which they belong.

So when the two populations get together, individuals get mixed. Females do not recognize males of their group, and during the breeding season, all females will mate the most with louder males of any of the population. So females from population A might mate with males from population B, and females from population B might mate with males from population A. So after mating season, there is also a genetic mixture between populations.

The new generations will carry elements of both genotypes. So males´ songs will be even more similar to each other. Songs will become more similar to each other because individuals of both populations are mixed and mated, and their genes intercrossed, producing new individuals with genes of both populations.

In which sections or section of the kidney is the urine formed? 

The final product of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion which is the urine is primarily formed in the renal medulla although the formation of the urine starts with the filtration of blood in the glomerulus then along the proximal tubules, descending and ascending loop of Henle, distal tubules, and collecting ducts. 


What section of the kidney collects the urine? 

The renal pelvis is the main section of the kidney that collects the urine. The renal pelvis arises from the confluence of the collecting ducts forming the renal papilla then the minor calyx and the major calyx and ultimately to the renal pelvis to be transported to the urinary bladder through the ureters.


How does the urine move from the kidney out of the body? 

The urine will be collected in the renal pelvis. With the urine collected in the renal pelvis, the urine moves from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder through the ureters and will be stored in the urinary bladder. When there is an urge to urinate, the urinary bladder contracts and the urethral sphincter relaxes that allows passage of the urine from the bladder out of the body through the urethra.


In which main regions of the kidney are the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule located? 

The glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule are part of the renal cortex. These organs are responsible for the filtration of the blood from the afferent arteriole. The glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule are not synonymous but rather the glomerulus comes from the afferent arteriole and the Bowman’s capsule functions as a filtration membrane. Together, they are called the renal corpuscle.


In which main regions of the kidney are the collecting ducts and the loop of Henle located?

The collecting ducts are located in the renal medulla whereas the loop of Henle are partly in the medulla, depending on the type of nephron. In superficial cortical nephrons, the dips only up to the outer medulla while in the juxtamedullary nephrons, the glomerulus is near the corticomedullary border wherein more parts of the loop of Henle is in the medulla.

(blank) is the thermal energy that flows from one substance to another when the substances differ in temperature.
ladessa [460]

The thermal energy can be defined as the type of kinetic energy which is generated due to the motions of the particles. This motion generates a temperature which can be measured easily. The type of thermal energy which flows from one substance to another when the temperature of the two substances is different is known as heat.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'heat'.
