Paraphin [41]

Answer: Sudden loss of habitat

Explanation:

Endangered species are animal or plant species that are in danger of going extinct.

This usually results from them suddenly losing their habitat and thus being exposed to unfamiliar conditions or threats that could end their existence. For instance, elephants losing their forest habitats in India and thus encroaching on farmland only to get shot for damaging farms.

What term is used to describe the relationship of the DNA strands to each other?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA is the genetic material of the organism which is made up of nucleotide monomer. The structure of DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides coiled in a helical structure thus providing a double-helical shape to the structure.  

Each nucleotide of a strand is composed of a five-carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases. These molecules are arranged in anti-parallel fashion in DNA which provides the polarity to the DNA strand. One strand is read from the 5' to 3' direction whereas another form 3'to 5' direction.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Dr. Nachman and his colleagues collected rock pocket mice across 35 kilometers of the Arizona Sonoran Desert, which included bot
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

1)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice  ≅ 0.74
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26

2)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87

3)

  • q² = 0.74
  • p² = 0.02
  • 2pq = 0.24      

4)

  • q² = 0.13
  • p² = 0.4
  • 2pq = 0.46

5)

The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage

6)

Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.

7)

Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

8)

To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.

Julie has been working in the laboratory with a new antibiotic. First, she placed an
frez [133]

Answer:

contractile vacuole.

Explanation:

Contractile vacuole is an organelle which is damaged from the antibiotic and as a result the cell burst. The main function of contractile vacuole is to regulates the quantity of water inside the cell. If the contractile vacuole is damaged so it does not regulate water required by the cell as a result more water enters inside the cell which results in the bursting of the cell.

Why is it necessary for the nervous system to also work in conjunction with the endocrine system?​
Ghella [55]

Answer:

They are necessary for co-ordination.

Explanation:

The both systems brings about co-ordination, thought there are some basic differences between them. Many organs in an animals system have organs to carry out activities like locomotion, digestion, respiration and excretion. The activities of each organ system must be co-ordinated with those of other systems; and with conditions in the external and internal environments of the animal.

Unlike the endocrine system, the nervous system works rapidly. Messages are carried mainly as electric impulses along nerves triggering immediate response from target organs.

The hypothalamus is the important link between these two systems.
