A population of pigs live on an island together with burrowing termites. Pigs that have the longest snouts tend to survive more frequently than those with shorter snouts. Over time, most of the pig population is made up of individuals that have very long snouts. This an example of which type of variation?

Answers

Answer 1
This is an example of natural selection. Because the pigs with the stronger snout survived more frequently, the other weaker ones died out. As a result, the stronger shouted pigs were the largest part of the population.

Which term is correct for one female arctic fox? biome species ecosystem organism

Answers

Answer:

D.) Organism

Explanation:

On the basis of biological organization, one  female arctic fox will be considered as an organism.

Biological organization refers to a hierarchy starts from simplest biological structure to complex biological structures that define life, such as from atoms to biosphere.

So, biome is the community of animals and plants having common characteristics according to the environment; species is also a group of living organism sharing similar genes; ecosystem include different groups with the physical (abiotic) environment and organism is the basic living system,that include at least one cell.

So, one female arctic fox will be termed as an organism and the correct option is D.

Answer:

D.) Organism

Explanation:

I jus got it right

1.) How does the arrangement of who eats whom compare with the arrangement of the number of individuals?
2.) What might happen to the other organisms if algae were removed from this group? What might happen if killer whales were removed?
3.) Are there any organisms in this group that eat more than on kind of food? How would you change the order of your cards to reflect this information?
If it's a good answer I'll mark brainliest

Answers

Answer:

1. The energy flow to the blue whale would be from the algae and the krill

2. If the killer whale where to be removed from the ecosystem the rest of the ecosystem would increase and wouldn't have a predator to dial down the populations so it would spiral out of control

3. if the algae population increased then the the rest of the ecosystem would increase

4. the fish population would grow and the organisms that the fish feed off of would decrease leaving the rest of the ecosystem to decrease because they would need the krill and algae

New moon

Explanation:

A solar eclipse can only occur during New Moon (when the entire moon is covered in darkness and not visible from the earth's surface.) A total solar eclipse can be seen within the moon's dark inner shadow (called the umbra.) A partial solar eclipse can be observed within the earth's lighter outer shadow (called the penumbra).

Answers

Answer:

Breathing Mechanism of Fish. Fish have gills which help them breathe oxygen directly from water without any need to surface. The fish takes water through its mouth, pushing it over the gills and back out through the gill slits. The oxygen enters the blood vessels after being filtered by the gills.

Fish breathe with the aid of gills.

Explanation:

They take the water rich in oxygen through their mouth and pump it over their gills.

Why does the presence of predators help keep an ecosystem stable?
A. The predators eat the keystone species.
B. The predators keep prey populations balanced.
C. The predators decrease biodiversity
D. The predators stop species from competing,

Answers

Answer: B

Explanation:

The predators keep prey populations balanced. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What are predators?

The presence of predators in an ecosystem helps to keep the population of prey species balanced. If the predators were absent, the prey populations could grow unchecked, leading to overconsumption of resources and potentially damaging effects on the ecosystem.

By keeping the prey populations in check, the predators help to prevent such imbalances, contributing to the overall stability and health of the ecosystem.

Predators also tend to prey on the weaker and less fit members of a population, which in turn helps to strengthen the gene pool of the prey species over time. This balance of predator and prey populations is an essential component of a healthy and stable ecosystem.

1 point
0.5
0.4
0.25
0.6

Answers

Answer:

.5

Explanation:

Remember that p = dominant allele, q = recessive allele. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equations:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1      (AA + Aa + aa = 1)

So aa = q^2. Take the square root, and we'll have just q by itself.

√a^2 = √.25 = .5

So the frequency of the a allele (recessive) = .5.

p + q = 1

p + .5 = 1

p = .5

The frequency of the A allele is .5.

It has often been said that the next dominant animals on land, after a hypothetical demise of all mammals, would be the insects. Why so?

Answers

Explanation:

The animals that dominate the Earth today are the human species or Homo sapiens. Many factors have allowed the species to dominate the Earth-like use of new tools, vocal cords, and an increased sense of intellect and natural intelligence. But today we can observe the social wars, epidemic, and harm to our planet which could result in the extinction of humans.  

The scientist has hypothesized that after the Homo sapiens, new dominating species will be insects as this group of the organism has:

1. Survived many mass extinctions.

2. are highly adaptable to extreme conditions.

3. Has evolved many adaptive features to protect itself from prey like a tough exoskeleton, few to many legs, bombarding in few species when someone tries to eat it, and many others.

What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)

Answers

Answer:

1. Greenhouse gases are compounds that are able to trap heat in the atmosphere, keeping the Earth's surface warmer than it would be if they were not present. These gases are mainly carbon dioxide; metahne, nitrous oxide, and flourinated gases.

2. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere from animals and plants through the process of respiration and the burning of fossil fuels from industries.

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon, which, helps maintain the relatively stable, livable, range of temperatures that we find on earth. To better understand how this phenomenon works, scientists have used the analogy of the greenhouse. In a greenhouse, the glass (the atmosphere) allows the radiant energy (light) of the sun to enter. As the radiant energy strikes various plants, gases, and objects in the greenhouse, they heat up. Their heat is then released back into the air of the greenhouse as infrared radiation (heat). This infrared radiation cannot travel through the glass and remains inside the greenhouse, increasing the temperature inside the greenhouse. Temperatures can be controlled, or kept in balance, by allowing some of the heat to remain inside and some to be vented to the outside. Under normal conditions, the earth's atmosphere works in a similar manner. Solar radiation enters the atmosphere and heats up the air molecules, the surface of the earth, buildings, plants, and other objects. These objects in turn, radiate infrared radiation back out into the atmosphere, where some of this radiation is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, and some is radiated out into space. As some of the heat stays in the atmosphere and some escapes into spaces, a balance is maintained allowing our planet to have a relatively stable range of temperatures. Scientists believe that as the greenhouse gases become more abundant in the atmosphere, due mainly to the burning of fossil fuels, they retain more and more infrared radiation, allowing less and less to escape into space, tipping the balance toward heating up the atmosphere, resulting in a changing and warmer climate, planet-wide. This is the accelerated greenhouse effect.
