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.

How is the inside surface area maximized in each animal dogfish shark?
Alexus [3.1K]
The inside surface area is shaped in a crescent. It consists of a spiral valve which is made up of the small intestine. Although the dogfish shark has a relatively short small intestine compared to other animals, therefore, the spiral valve allows for a more compact form of the small intestine.
Hence, this structure provides maximum surface area over a relatively short distance in order to make the absorption of nutrients efficient achieved from the food, the sharks had from eating different sea animals.

What is the Molecular mechanism of DNA replication?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

DNA replication a process of copying of a cell's DNA.  DNA replication is semiconservative process which means that each strand in the double helix helps in the synthesis of new, complementary strand and conserve the parent template.

The Molecular mechanism of DNA replication is as following:

  1. The double starnded DN in binded with hydrogen bond, the enzyme helicase opens up the DNA at the replication fork.
  2. A single stranded binding protein prevent the rewinding of DNA and so binds to the DNA around the replication fork
  3. Topoisomerase prevent supercoiling at replication fork.
  4. The ezymes primase come in action and produces RNA primers which are complementary to the DNA strand.
  5. DNA polymerase III help to extends the primers and allow them to add  to the 3' end, to make new DNA.
  6. DNA Polymerase then remove RNA primers and replace with DNA.
  7. DNA ligase blocks the the gaps between DNA fragments.

So, this is the molecuar mechanism of DNA replication.
