Answer:

The correct answer is: upper esophageal sphincter.

Explanation:

The alimentary canal is a very long tract responsible for the digestion of the food. It is composed of several organs with many different and important functions. The alimentary canal also has a few sphincters, which are muscular valves that open and close when needed for the food to pass or be retained.

The first sphincter is the upper esophageal sphincter. One particularity of this sphincter is that is one of the few sphincters in the body that opens and closes under our conscious control, which happens when we decide to swallow our food.

From the first to the last, the order of the sphincters in the gastrointestinal tract is: upper esophageal sphincter, lower esophageal sphincter or gastroesophageal sphincter, pyloric sphincter, ileocecal sphincter, and anus.

N a jungle habitat, there lives a species of snake, called Species A. The carrying capacity of the jungle allows 5000 of Species
OLEGan [10]

Based on the carrying capacity of the habitat and the changes that occurred in number of the two snake species, correct option is They occupy the same niche and are competing fully for all resources; option D

<h3>What is carrying capacity of a habitat?</h3>

The carrying capacity of a habitat is the maximum number of species the available resources in that habitat can sustain.

The data given of the species of snakes, Species A and Species B, indicate that they are both present in the habitat after a change occurs in the habitat.

Since the population of Species A became zero after Species B was introduced in the habitat, they occupy the same niche and are competing fully for all resources.

In conclusion, the competition between the species of snakes is responsible for the decline in Species A.

Why can food chains
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

A. Because energy is lost at every level.

Explanation:

energy decreases as it travels from lower levels to upper levels--which is a logical observation you could make.

Think of it like this--if a fish eats a small organism, it will then spend some of the energy obtained from the organism swimming around--so when a larger fish eats our fish, the energy from the original organism will already be partially lost (from our fish swimming around).

This means that when this pattern continues over multiple levels, we keep losing energy--which limits the environment's capacity for organisms to survive.

Hope this helps, have a lovely day :)

What fraction of offspring of the cross AaBb × AaBb would be homozygous for both the dominant alleles, assuming that they are on
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

A. 1/16

Explanation:

If we break the dihybrid cross of AaBb X AaBb into individual monohybrid crosses:

Aa X Aa :

     A    a

A  AA Aa

a  Aa   aa

1/4 of the progeny will be homozygous for dominant allele (AA)

Similarly, in cross Bb X Bb 1/4 of the progeny will be homozygous for dominant allele (BB)

Hence, in cross AaBb X AaBb:

1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 will be homozygous for both the dominant alleles.
