Explain how the reintroduction of wolves likely affected organism biodiversity in Yellowstone.

Biology

Ksenya-84 [330]2 years ago
5 0

The reintroduction of wolves increased the genetic diversity of woody plant species by controlling elk populations. This situation is known as a trophic cascade.

Trophic cascade refers to the process where the addition of top predators in a given ecosystem triggers a series of modifications in the populations located at lower trophic levels.

The wolves are top predators whose reintroduction in the Yellowstone park increased the genetic diversity of plant species by controlling elk populations.

This trophic cascade also helps to increase the diversity of birds that eat plants.

which microorganism present in the intestine of human and animals help in the synthesis and digestion of variety of foods ( plea
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Gut microflora is a combination of many different kinds of bacteria. Out of these, Lactobacillus bacteria, specifically, <em>Lactobacillius acidophilus</em> and <em>Lactobacillus bulgaricus </em>primarily help in the digestion of the milk sugar lactose. Probiotic bacteria in the gut microbiota, primarily, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium help in the synthesis of vitamins.

Explanation:

Gut Microbiota:

Gut microbiota are the microorganisms that live inside the gastrointestinal tract and aid in various body functions. Also called commensal flora, many of these help in digestion and biosyntheisis of vitamins.

  • Lactobacillus species are a predominant component of gut microbiota. Lactobacillus produces an enzyme called lactase that breaks down lactose sugar in milk.
  • Complex sugars in vegetables and fruits are broken down, mostly, by gut microbiota.
  • Probiotic bacteria, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species aid the biosynthesis of various vitamins and nutrients such as:
  • Vitamin K and most of the water‐soluble B vitamins, such as biotin, cobalamin, folates, nicotinic acid, panthotenic acid, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamine.

The enzyme that makes new strands of DNA only in one direction is:_______ primase
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Primase synthesizes DNA polymerase through the initiation of synthesis of RNA primer. DNA polymerase is able to add nucleotides in only one direction towards the direction of replication fork Hence, it add to the chain only at 3’ end  and build new strand from 5’ to 3’ end.  

The 5’ to 3’ strand is the leading strand and is easy to build as 5’ to 3’ progresses towards the replication fork and DNA polymerase also move in the same direction

Hence, option C is correct

How does an ultrasound produce an image of a fetus in the mother’s uterus?
Elodia [21]
The ultra sound waves coming from the transmitter pass through the body and once they hit a boundary (the baby) they are partially reflected back to the transmitter and the image appears on the screen. The longer the time taken is to reflect, the further away it is, so darker/lighter on the picture.
