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.

Describe the relationship between mutations, alleles, variation, natural selection, and chance.
Alona [7]

Natural selection is where positive traits survive more, allowing those to become more common. Mutation is where radioactivity changes genes in a random way. Natural selection allows positive mutation to become more common. Adaptation is where natural selection works for a species specifically more a new habitat.

Paramecium live in freshwater environments like the Potomac River. Therefore, water is constantly moving into their cells. Param
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The correct answer is - osmosis.

Explanation:

Paramecium lives in freshwater like the Potomac River which is hypotonic to the cytosol of the paramecium. Paramecium uses contractile vacuoles to transport the water from the lower concentration (outside of the cell) to a high concentration of solvent to the inside of the cells.

This process of cell transport is carried out by osmosis as their cytoplasm contains a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This excess water is collected into vacuoles called contractile vacuole that swells and finally internalized the water to the outside of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is - osmosis.

The initiating event in the development of nephrotic syndrome is a derangement in the glomerular membrane that causes increased
makkiz [27]

The initiating event in the development of nephrotic syndrome is a derangement in the glomerular membrane that causes increased permeability to plasma proteins.

Nephrotic syndrome can be understood as a kidney disorder in which the glomeruli filter of the kidney gets damaged due to which it is unable to filter the proteins and passes an excess amount of protein in the urine.

Glomeruli filter consists of clusters of small blood vessels in the kidneys that function in filtering the waste and excess water from the blood. It also sweeps the blood protein which is necessary to maintain the correct amount of fluid in the body, from seeping into the urine. But when it gets damaged glomeruli stop sweeping the protein from the urine as a result too much blood protein leaves your body, leading to nephrotic syndrome.
