The zebra mussel is a highly invasive species that was accidentally introduced to the Great Lakes region of the United States in the 1980s. The map below shows the distribution of zebra mussels in 2010. • Zebra mussel location What is the primary reason the large-scale spread of zebra mussels concerns scientists? Zebra mussels out-compete native mussel species. © Zebra mussels are a freshwater species. Zebra mussels are a desired food for humans. Zebra mussels are eaten by some fish and birds.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Although the map showing the distribution of mussels in not included but the question can be answered based on general understanding of invasive species. The answer is:

Zebra mussels out-compete native mussel species.

Explanation:

Invasive species in biology refers to the species of an organism that is foreign to a particular area/location with an ability to grow very rapidly to the point of being a threat to the local species of organisms that are native to the area.

This is the case of the Zebra mussel, which was accidentally introduced to the Great Lakes region of the United States in the 1980s. It is a major concern for scientists (like every other invasive species) because of its potential to outgrow and outcompete native mussel species i.e mussel species naturally found in the lake.

How can a female inherit red-green color blindness?(1 point) Her mother is a carrier, and her father has the condition. Her mother is not a carrier, and her father has the condition. Females cannot inherit red-green color blindness. Her mother is a carrier, and her father does not have the condition.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - Her mother is a carrier, and her father has the condition.

Explanation:

Colorblindness is a sex linked recessive disease that is passed from the parent to the offspring through X chromosome that have recessive gene of the disease. It is rare in the females as the very low chances of the females to inherit two copies of disease gene allele. But as only one allele is present in males of X chromosome and if there is disease copy he will be color blind.

To get a colorblind female the girl child must get two copies of these allele that has recessive X chromosome one from her carrier mother and other from her conditioned father. Check image for punnet.

Thus, the correct answer is - Her mother is a carrier, and her father has the condition.

Sally was curious as to the type of birdseed that the birds in her yard preferred. She conducted an experiment and found these results. Her dependent variable is ___sunflower_____ . Her independent variable is __the lowest bar (i cant see what it says statrs with s, inbetween mixed nuts and sunflower)_____ . The results show that the birds prefer of seeds. ___corn______

Explanation:

sunflower is the most dependent because it is the middle of the pack, the birds dont hate it, but they also dont love it. The lowest bar is the most independable because it is the one the birds eat the least. And the corn it the one that all the birds particularily like. Hope this helps

if they are dumping wastewater into the ocean your place isnt that smart now are they

the best thing to do is clean the water and use it for drinking water etc

cuz the fact that there is not alot of drinking water but we have to be carefull of how much water we turn into drinking water cuz if it all tuned into fress drinkable water the world would be so much lighter and the atmosphere would most likly not be able to support us or other lifeforms and if we did manage to live then we would need to become so much heaver so a normal person would go from 200 pounds to 500 or more easily so there are ristriction on how much we can turn into dinkable water but we have such less rn but it would be easy to calculate with the help of some math people

hope this helps you learn

This most likely adds to the cost of cleaning water because you have to find a safe alternative so it does not hurt any animals in the water.

What are the characteristics of a scientific question

Answers

Answer:

A scientific question is a question that may lead to a hypothesis and help us in answering (or figuring out) the reason for some observation. Asking a scientific question is a part of the scientific method (which includes making an observation, asking the question, forming a hypothesis, testing it and accepting/rejecting/modifying the hypothesis). A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable (i.e. can be tested by someone through an experiment or measurements), leads to a hypothesis that is falsifiable (means it should generate a hypothesis that can be shown to fail), etc. For example, an observation that a passing car makes a lot of noise can prompt someone to ask "if there is some correlation between the speed of the car and the noise it generates", which can result in a hypothesis that at higher speeds more noise is generated. This can be tested by driving a car and measuring the noise level and these results can help us accept or reject or modify the hypothesis.

Micronutrients

Explanation:

Got it right on my test. Have a good day!

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the macronutrients, whereas vitamins, calcium, and zinc are the micronutrients.

What are macronutrients?

Macronutrients and micronutrients are two very essential nutrients that are required for the growth and development of the body. Macronutrients are nutrients required in large quantities in the body for its growth and development, and to perform various other body functions. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the three main macronutrients found.

Carbohydrates are building blocks of monosaccharides and provide energy to the body whereas proteins are building blocks of amino acids and are required to build and repair tissues in the body. Fats are also the building blocks of fatty acids and are important for protecting organs and providing energy too.

Micronutrients, on the other hand, are nutrients required in smaller amounts, and are essential part of the body. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc.

Therefore, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the macronutrients, whereas vitamins, calcium, and zinc are the micronutrients.

explain the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics in terms of food chain, energy flow, pyramid of number and pyramid of energy

Answers

Answer:

First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.

Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.

In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).

A biome, which is always changing is the temperate deciduous forest. It exhibits four different kinds of seasons:

WinterSpringSummer Fall

The summers are warm and the winters are cold. These forests get between 30 and 60 inches of rain in a year. In this biome, precipitation happens year round. The common vegetation witnessed in this biome is broadleaf trees, perennial herbs, and mosses.
