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.

Which star has an temperature of 10,000 K and a Luminosity of 10^2
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

i think White Dwarf

Explanation:

We are given that the star has a temperature of 10,000 K and a luminosity of 10^2. According to the HR diagram, a star with the surface temperature of 10,000 K would be a white dwarf and if the star were on the main sequence, then it would have a luminosity nearly 100 times more than that of the sun. However since the actual luminosity is 10,000 times smaller than this, this star must be a white dwarf since it has 10,000 K and 100 aka 10^2 luminosity

Describe one way in which ribosomes interact with organelles. How would having a larger number of ribosomes benefit a cell? In y
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Ribosomes are the machinery of protein synthesis in the cell. They are associated with different organelle of the cell. They are also found free-floating in the cytoplasm of the cell.

The organelle which ribosomes interact are plasma membrane in prokaryotes and endoplasmic reticulum(ER) in eukaryotic cell. Ribosomes are present on the surface of the ER and helps in protein synthesis in the ER. In prokaryotes, there is no ER so it is associated with plasma membrane and perform protein synthesis.

The specialized function of ribosome is to perform protein synthesis and these proteins are necessary for cell because protein are important to make enzymes that regulate the metabolism of the cell. So if protein synthesis stops cell will not able to perform important metabolic activities to survive and it will die.

Having a large number of ribosomes benefits cells because it fastens the protein synthesis process in the cell. So large amount of protein can be produced in less time.
