Answer: All the above options are correct about the characteristics of Lumbriculus variegatus.
Explanation:
Lumbriculus variegatus also called the black worm belongs to the phylum Annelida and is used by biologists to illustrate:
-blood vessel pulsations,
-swimming reflex,
-peristaltic crawling behavior,
-giant nerve fiber action potentials.
These studies where carried out on them due to the characteristics they possess. These includes:
-its blood circulates in a closed circulatory system
-Freshwater worm found throughout North America and Europe
-Prefers the shallow habitats found at the edges of ponds, lakes, or marshes
-Feeds on decaying vegetation and microorganisms.
Answer: b. Webbed-toed mice survived better and reproduced more than mice without webbed toes.
Explanation:
Natural selection is a phenomenon that suggests that organisms that have a better structural and morphological advantage over the others have better chances of survival over the others.
The webbed toed mice have a survival advantage over the without the webbed toes because this can help the webbed toed mice to swim. The webbed toed trait will be beneficial and passed on to the next generation of the mice and the webbed toed mice will reproduce more than the mice without webbed toes.
Answer:
Frequency of dominant allele is 0.9029
Explanation:
Total number of organisms = 12,845
Number of organisms representing dominant trait = 11,596. These organisms might have heterozygotes with one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
Hence, Number of organisms with recessive alleles = 12845 – 11596 = 1249
Frequency of recessive allele (q) = 1249/12845 = 0.0971
Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 1- q = 1- 0.0971 = 0.9029
Answer:
When the walleye pollock population decreased, there were more zooplankton available for the moon jellies to eat. Since the jellies had more energy storage molecules, they were able to reproduce more. This lead to more births than deaths in the moon jelly population, which caused the jelly population to increase.
Explanation:
here
The first one is commensalism. The second one is mutualism. The last one is parasitism.
