The seed capsules of the Himalayan balsam plant explode when touched and can eject seeds as far as 16 feet from the parent plant

. Is this a structural adaptation, behavioral adaptation, or both?

Answer:

behavioral adaptation

Explanation:

A structural adaptation is defined as the adaptation in which physical features of organisms or plants while behavioral adaptation is defined as the activities an organism or plant do to survive.

The Himalayan balsam plant is an example of behavioral adaptation because it disperse its seeds when it ripe and touched by someone, for its survival it shows it dispersal behavior and spread seeds as far as 16 feet from the parent plant. In the fear of someone can harm by touching it, the survival instinct of balsam plant shows behavioral adaptation.

Hence, the correct answer is " behavioral adaptation".

How to determine the enzymes used to cut plasmid in cloning.
Alex73 [517]
When cloning by restriction digest and ligation, you use restriction enzymes to cut open a plasmid (backbone) and insert a linear fragment of DNA (insert) that has been cut by compatible restriction enzymes. An enzyme, DNA ligase, then covalently binds the plasmid to the new fragment thereby generating a complete, circular plasmid that can be easily maintained in a variety of biological systems. Read on for an in-depth breakdown of how to do perform restriction digests.

List 2 adaptations that helped Darwin's finches survive.?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Two adaptations of Darwin's Finches that helped them to survive are:

  • Beak structure.
  • Behavioral adaptations to use tools for foraging.

Explanation:

There are fourteen species of Darwin's finches that originated from a single  species of ground dwelling seed eating finch.

These Finches occupied different niche in the Galapagos island  and were widely studied by Darwin.

These finches are one of the best Examples of Adaptive radiation.

Studies state that during severe drought in Galapagos island most vegetation dried out and a few softer seeds were left.

These few seeds were quickly fed upon by the birds and only dry , hard seeds were left.

Only birds who had large and hard beaks could feed on these hard dry seeds.

To Ensure survival the Finches developed adaptations which resulted in hard and large beaks so that they can feed on those dried hard seed.

Some groups started feeding on insects and got their beaks adapted to capture and kill insects.

Second line of adaptation included changes in behaviour and cognitive intelligence where birds started using tools for foraging.

Which macromolecule forms a double layer as the primary structure of cell membranes?
OlgaM077 [116]
Answer;
Phospholipid.

Phospholipid forms a double layer as the primary structure of cell membranes.

Explanation; 
Cell membranes contains of lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins and carbohydrates groups that are attached to some of the lipids and proteins. 
Phospholipids are composed of a polar head and non-polar (hydrophobic) tail. They line up such that the heads and the tail groups are side by side to form a single layer due to the interactions between the head groups and the tail groups. Two of these layers line up with the hydrophobic tail groups facing each other to prevent the hydrophobic groups away from the polar head groups of other phospholipids and from the water in the surrounding environment.
