A biologist studying alpine wildflowers notices that two populations of similar species are able to occupy the same niches. Howe

ver, species A is mostly found at lower altitudes, while species B is mostly found at higher altitudes. What has most likely caused the realized niches of these two wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches?

The answer is resource partitioning. Due to competition between the two species population,  the two species evolved to utilize different resources. Therefore, this is rather than competitive exclusion that results to the out-competition of one species, or competition that results in a negative interaction between the species.

Answer:

A fundamental niche represents the set of environmental conditions in which a species can survive and reproduce. A realized niche represents the environmental factors actually utilize by the species in order to survive after interaction with predatory and competing species. Here, the two species A and B are able to occupy the same niche that is they are able to live in fundamental nich but they acquire different locations for their survival that is lower and higher altitudes.  

The species acquiring different habitat is their choice but there are some factors which are limiting their growth and abundance in the realized niches for example resources and predation.

What is the current scientific thinking about the information of the solar system?
neonofarm [45]

Solar System Formation. Scientists believe that the solar system was formed when a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star (called a supernova). This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas and dust.

What part of the hair extends from the bulb and the shaft?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Hair is a keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis. It is primarily made of dead, keratinized cells. Strands of hair originate in an epidermal penetration of the dermis called the hair follicle. The hair shaft is the part of the hair not anchored to the follicle, and much of this is exposed at the skin’s surface. The rest of the hair, which is anchored in the follicle, lies below the surface of the skin and is referred to as the hair root. The hair root ends deep in the dermis at the hair bulb, and includes a layer of mitotically active basal cells called the hair matrix. The hair bulb surrounds the hair papilla, which is made of connective tissue and contains blood capillaries and nerve endings from the dermis.
