The answer is B) The rapid extinction of top-level consumers in the Gulf food webs, such as sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the largest in the history of the oil industry. The oil spill created a large layer of floating oil patch over the gulf waters. This layer of oil blocked the exchange of gases like oxygen in the water. The top-level consumers like the dolphins, sharks and sea turtles that need to surface to breath fresh air got coated with the oil and perished.

B is correct

The rapid extinction of top-level consumers in the Gulf food webs, such as sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles. There will be some initial death after an oil spill, but not the rapid extinction of animals. We would expect to see slow, long-term effects of a large oil spill; effects that are the result of lingering oil under the sand, in marshes and wetlands, and covering undersea coral reefs.

Both intrasexual and intersexual selection usually cause changes in phenotypes for males and little changes in female phenotypes

Selection is usually strongest in the male of the species. D) because sperm are small and plentiful, while eggs are large and energy-rich.

Phenotype refers back to the observable traits of an organism as a multifactorial effect of genetic trends and environmental influences. The organism phenotype includes its morphological, biochemical, physiological, and behavioral residences.

A person's genotype is their specific collection of DNA. extra especially, this term is used to refer to the two alleles a person has inherited for a selected gene. Phenotype is the detectable expression of this genotype – a patient's clinical presentation.

The sum of an organism's observable traits is its phenotype. A key difference between phenotype and genotype is that, even as genotype is inherited from an organism's parents, the phenotype isn't.

Both intrasexual and intersexual selection usually cause changes in phenotypes for males and little changes in female phenotypes. Why is sexual selection usually strongest in the male of the species?

a. Males are naturally more aggressive

b. Males have a smaller genetic component than females due to fewer X chromosomes

c. Males do not pass on their mitochondria and therefore have more invested in each individual mating event

d. Because sperm are small and plentiful, while eggs are large and energy-rich.

What type of disease transmission is most likely represented by the graph shown below?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A. Person to person.

Explanation:

The graph shows that the disease spreads slowly at first, then rapidly, and slowly at the end. This pattern of transmission is most characteristic of a disease spread from one person to the next. When only one person has the disease, the rate of transmission is slow because that person may only meet a few others. But as the number of people with the disease increases, the number of meetings that spread the disease also increase. At this time, the disease can spread very rapidly. The disease spreads more slowly again when there are only a few people remaining that do not have the disease. With foodborne and airborne diseases, the rate of disease spread is most rapid when the disease first arises and the greatest number of possible victims are available. Graphs of foodborne and airborne transmission show the greatest rate of disease spread at the start of the outbreak.

FYI: This isn't my explanation this is the explanation the question gives! :)
