Answer:
To find the extinct species and their divergence of characters can be studied using molecular genetic techniques.
Explanation:
- Paleontology is the study of ancient species and their remaining that were found millions of years ago. These species extinction can be found and manipulated to find out the origin or divergence of species from their origin
- The samples of these species may contains their remains that help the biologist to isolate and analyze their protein or DNA. when the DNA is isolated their sequences can be generated using molecular biology techniques.
- When the sequences are identified by advanced molecular biology techniques, the existence and similarities of different species due to their convergence or divergence can be identified.
- By identifying the convergence or divergence the characteristics, evolutionary change in behavior, variation in appearance can be studied.
- By using these techniques, biologist have found that <em>homo sapiens</em> are 99% have their similarities with chimpanzee
- Thus, using genetics in paleontology helps us to understand adaptation a species is changing according to the evolutionary changes.
Answer:
The correct answer is b. actors have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than non actors.
Explanation:
Altruism is the behavior by an organism that benefits other organisms by costing its own fitness. The actor is the individual who is doing altruism and the recipient is the individual who is getting benefited by the actor's altruism.
An example of altruistic behavior can be seen in animal kingdom easily. Vampire bats give blood to those members of the community who were not able to go for search for blood show altruistic behavior.
Actors have altruistic genes that suggest them to behave altruistically. Non-actors may not contain alleles of altruism but the recipient might have altruistic alleles.
Hamilton's rule says that natural selection will favor the altruistic allele when rb > c.
where r = coefficient of relatedness between donor and recipient
b = benefit received by recipient and
c = cost paid by altruist.
Therefore, the correct answer is b.
Answer:
Q.1: I can't help you with this, sorry :(
Q.2: Seaweed is the producer because it takes energy from the water and sun in thermal reactions.
Q.3: Phytoplankton is the second-order consumer because they eat first-order consumers.
Q.4: Whelks and crabs because they eat limpets, which eat producers, and they also eat seaweed.
Q.5: Gulls are carnivores because they eat the crabs, and so are crabs because they eat mullets
Q.6: Limpets and lobster would become less populated, but not yet endangered. Gulls would starve and probably disappear from this ecosystem.
Q.7: Whelks' numbers would decrease because of the number of lobsters consuming them, but then lobsters would starve because of the decline in their food. Then this would repeat, shaking the whole ecosystem.
Answer:
because they reduce interspecific competition
Explanation:
Narrower niches are known to be more specific and limited compared to broader niches, which are generally less specific and less limited. The species that live in broad niches are named generalists because they are able to withstand different conditions. A narrow niche is often correlated with reduced overlap and thus tends to reduce interspecific competition. For example, coral reefs consist of a wide variety of species (including anemones, sea sponges, sea fans, brain corals, etc) which have narrow niches, thus showing high biodiversity.
