A female zebra finch reared by a father with a red feather taped to his head will select a mate with a similar ornament over an

unornamented male. What are plausible ultimate explanations for this behavior (i.e., why it occurs in the context of natural selection)?1.Zebra finches are able to perceive ornamentation on other birds.2.A female zebra finch learns to recognize suitable mates by observing her father.3.A female zebra finch that chooses a mate that resembles her father is more likely to reproduce successfully.

Answer: 3.

Explanation:

The concept is based on sexual imprinting which results from selection for recognition of conspecifics.

Sexual imprinting is the mechanism by which a young animal discovers the properties of a desired mate. Male zebra finches, for example, tend to favor mates with the presence of the female bird rearing them, rather than that of the birth parent when they're special.

A female zebra finch select a male that resembels her father with a red feather taped to his head for reprodcution because there are sufficient opportunity of sexual imprinting.

Hence, the correct option is 3.

Answer:

16. Control group: Subject A

17. Independent (manipulated) variable: Type of powder

18. Dependent variable: Itching time

19. Explain whether the data supports the advertisement´s claims about its product. Yes, it does.

Explanation:

  • Control group: The control group is used to identify if there are any other factors influencing the results obtained by the treatment in the study (in this case, the new product), from the results that might be a consequence of other factors. The control group must be selected from the same population as the treatment group. Data from an experimental group are compared with the data from a control group. These two groups are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals.  

The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable.  There can be several experimental groups. In this case, the experimental group is subject B.

  • Independent (manipulated) variable: Refers to all the variables in an experiment that provoke a response in another variable. An independent variable is the one that changes or is controlled and modified in the experiment to analyze how another variable responds to it. It changes to analyze its effects on the dependent variable. Usually, the independent variable is represented by the X letter. In the exposed example, the type of powder is the independent variable.  
  • Dependent variable: Refers to the variable, which response depends on any change in the independent variable. It represents a quantity of something which value depends on how the independent variable is modified. The change in the dependent variable might be proportional or inversely proportional to the change in the manipulated variable. It is usually identified by the letter Y. In the exposed example, inching time is the dependent variable, that depends on the type of powder used.
  • The data <u>does support</u> the advertisement´s claims about its product. The effect of the new product lasts 50% more than the original product. The old powder produced itching for 30 minutes, while the new product produced itching for 45min (15 more minutes, 50% more).

What is pyrenoid?<br><br>good morning ​
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The pyrenoid, a dense structure inside or beside chloroplasts of certain algae, consists largely of ribulose biphosphate carboxylase, one of the enzymes necessary in photosynthesis for carbon fixation and thus sugar formation. Starch, a storage form of glucose, is often found around pyrenoids.

Hello there,

1.) According to the biomolecular data, we COULD infer that <span>humans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes. 

2.) </span>Based on the cladogram, if moths undergo complete metamorphosis, we would MOST LIKELY infer that <span>butterflies and flies do as well. 

3.) </span>According to the cladogram, which of these were the direct ancestors of the Kingdom Fungi? <span>Protista 

4.) </span>Trey is looking at a cell under the microscope. It is attached to many other cells, and it has a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. It has no cell wall. In which kingdom should this organism be classified? <span>Fungi 

5.) </span>A review of the cladogram shows a common ancestor for these four types of vertebrates. Which statement BEST explains the genetics represented by the cladogram? <span>Lizards and snakes are more genetically alike than lizards and birds. 

Hope this helps

Select the correct location on the image. An injury to which marked region would hamper the sleep-wake cycle?
Soloha48 [4]
I attached the image related to your concerned question. 

In theory, the part of the brain that is responsible for the sleep wake cycle is the hypothalamus; specifically, the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. In the image, the location of the hypothalamus is pointed by the green square.

Most absorption of food occurs in the:
algol13

Answer:

Small intestine

Explanation:

It is in the small intestine where most food absorption occurs. Specifically, in the jejunum and the ileum. This is the site where nutrient absorption takes place too. Some water is also absorbed here, but the one mainly in charge of that is the large intestine.
