Answer:
The correct answer is - the more specialized pharyngeal jaws are for one diet, the less adapted they are for the ingestion of other foods
Explanation:
Pharyngeal jaws are also called throat jaws and are specific for the prey. These jaws have strong muscles and plastic or easy-to-modify teeth. If an organism has pharyngeal jaws specialized for a specific diet or prey it will have lesser chances to adapted well according to the new diet. For instance, pharyngeal jaws highly specialized for scale eating will not be able to adapt well if the fish ingests algae.
Answer:
N = 187.55
Explanation:
Here you just need to replace the terms and clear the equation.
You already know that,
- First capture: 25 prairie dogs.
- First marked animals: 25 (the whole first capture)
You let these animals leave and then you made another capture.
- Second capture: 135 prairie dogs
- Already Marked animals: 18 (these 18 dogs were caught in the first capture and marked before releasing them)
To know the size of the prairie dogs population you just need to use the following equation and clear N, which is the value that you are looking for.
Number of individual marked in first catch/Total population size, N = Number of individual marked in 2nd catch / Total number of 2nd catch
- Number of individual marked in first catch = 25 dogs
- Total population size, N = this is what we want to know
- Number of individual marked in 2nd catch = 18 dogs
- Total number of 2nd catch = 135 dogs
So now, we need to replace terms
25 / N = 18 / 135
25 / N = 0.1333
N = 25 / 0.1333
N = 187.55
The correct answer is a nutrient runoff.
Nutrient runoff is a major reason for eutrophication of surface waters, in which extra amount of nutrients, generally phosphorus or nitrogen, instigate growth of algae. Sources of nutrient pollution involve surface runoff from pastures and farm fields, emissions from combustion, and discharges from septic tanks.
Answer:
(a) crossing over: Meiosis I, Recombination
(b) chromatids separate at their centromeres and migrate to opposite poles: Meiosis II, Anaphase II
(c) chromosomes become aligned in pairs at the equator: Meiosis II, Metaphase II
Explanation:
Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis (formation of ovum and sperm cells). The paired chromosomes of the male and female parents are aligned so that similar DNA sequences intersect. This crossing over produces an exchange of genetic material, which is an important cause of the genetic variability observed in the offspring.
Meiosis II: Anaphase II. The centromeres separate and the daughter chromatids - now individual chromosomes - move to the opposite poles of the cell. The centromeres separate, and the two chromatids of each chromosome move toward the opposite poles in the spindle.
Meiosis II: Metaphase II. Chromosomes are accommodated in the equatorial plate of metaphase, similar to what happens in mitosis. They are attached to the already fully formed meiotic spindle. Each chromosome is aligned in the equatorial plate of the metaphase, as it happens in mitosis.
