Biology
1 answer:
yaroslaw [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A population of mosquitoes develops resistance to a pesticide

Explanation:

Evolution can be defined as the way the characteristics of a species change over several generations. This process relies on natural selection - a mechanism in which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully.

A population of mosquitoes developing resistance to a pesticide is an example of adaptation. This is how mosquitoes become adapted to their environment and increase their chances of survival. Eventually, most of the mosquitoes will be resistant thanks to natural selection. This is how mosquitoes evolve.

This is why the fourth option is the correct one.

Alizarin yellow is a pH indicator that transitions from red to yellow when the pH falls from a value of 11 to below 10. Why is p
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The correct answer is - acidic conditions wouldn't trigger a change in the color of Alizarin yellow.

Explanation:

The growth of E. coli generally occurs at neutral pH, however, its growth is normal at acidic conditions as well.  The change in the growth of  E. coli is not able to detect by alizarin.

The phenol red turns yellow in the presence of an acid, and the change in pH in an alkaline environment can be detected by the red color of phenol red. Growth of E.coli will grow in pH of 10-12 . But, very slowly. The color change in alizarin is also apparent at pH 10.2 to 12 only.

6. Which statement about seagulls and sea stars is true?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

B.  Sea stars are the prey of seagulls

Explanation:

Seagulls eat sea stars, meaning that sea stars are their prey (the organism that is eaten).

Predator: an organism that eats (preys on) another organism

Prey: an organism that is eaten by another organism (creatures can be both predator and prey.  For example, a rabbit is a predator to grass, while they are prey to foxes)

Host: An organism that is fed on by a parasite.  Think of a dog with a tick.  The dog is the host, the tick is the parasite.  

Incorrect answers (and why):

A.  Sea stars do not eat seagulls

C.  If a sea star was a predator to a seagull, that would mean that they eat seagulls.  They do not.

D.  A host is an organism that a parasite preys on.  Not only are sea stars not parasites, but they definitely do not prey on seagulls.  

I hope this helps! :)
