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.

Below are statements that describe either traits that follow the typical pattern of Mendelian inheritance or sex-linked inherita
photoshop1234 [79]

<u>Answer</u> : Mendelian traits

1) A trait like eye color or height

2) Involves a dominant and recessive allele.

3) Predisposition to some diseases like diabetes and heart diseases.

4) These are equally likely to occur in males and females.

Sex linked trait

1) A trait like color blindness which affects many more men than women.

2) These are not equally likely to occur in male and female.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The <em>Mendelian</em>  inheritance is based on the laws proposed by <em>Mendel</em>.The traits that follow these laws are called as Mendelian traits.
  • In an inheritance pattern, a Mendelian trait is the one which is controlled by only a single locus.

It is inherited in the manner that obeys Mendels laws -

1) <u>Law of segregation</u> - This law states that whenever gamete formation takes place each gene for a particular trait segregate from each other in such a way that each gamete carries only one allele.

2) <u>Law of independent assortment-</u> This law states that the genes for different traits segregate independent from each other during gamete formation.

3) <u>Law of dominance- </u>This law states that for every trait there are two alleles, one is dominant while the other is recessive.

<u>Sex linked inheritance </u>

It is the type of inheritance pattern followed by genes which are preesent on the sex chromosomes. Their inheritance varies from that of Mendelian pattern. If it is X linked dominant then each child of an affected mother has 50% chance of being affected whereas if it is recessive then a female can be a carrier or affected but a male will always be affected if it carries the allele.

Did humans evolve from neandethals

Fossil and genetic evidence both suggest that Neanderthals and modern humans evolved between 700,000 and 300,000 years ago from a common ancestor

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

amplification: MUTATION = a type of mutation

independent assortment: MENDELIAN = how different

genes independently separate from one another

when reproductive cells develop

nondisjunction: MUTATION = a type of chromosomal

mutation

translocation: MUTATION = another type of chromosomal

mutation

codominance: MENDELIAN = a relationship between two

genes where neither allele is recessive and both

are expressed

insertion: MUTATION = a type of mutation

radiation: MUTATION = causes mutations

virus: MUTATION = causes mutations as the virus

replicates

deletion: MUTATION = a type of mutation

law of dominance: MENDELIAN = one of Mendel's laws

of inheritance

sex linked traits: MENDELIAN = linkage is an exception

to Mendel's law of independent assortment

incomplete dominance: MENDELIAN = when none of the

factors of a gene is dominant and there is a blend,

such as a red flower crossed with a white flower

turns out pink

law of segregation: MENDELIAN = one of Mendel's laws

of inheritance

substitution: MUTATION = a type of mutation

Which body system makes red blood cells?
forsale [732]

Answer:

In the human adult, the bone marrow produces all of the red blood cells, 60–70 percent of the white cells (i.e., the granulocytes), and all of the platelets. The lymphatic tissues, particularly the thymus, the spleen, and the lymph nodes, produce the lymphocytes (comprising 20–30 percent of the white cells).
