Some species of predators appear  intimidating because of the adaptations they possess for hunting and eating  make them look intimidating and fearful. The appearance of some predators make them intimidating which make the prey full of fear. For example, Lion is intimidating other animals especially its prey due to its attitude as well as physical appearance such as big sharp teeth and paws etc.


describe how and where each type
weathering, erosion, or deposition occurs

Answers

weathering: Weathering occurs in situ (on site, with little or no movement), and should not be confused with erosion, which involves the transport of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity. Weathering processes are divided into physical and chemical weathering.

erosion: Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. One example is called frost action or frost shattering. ... The sediment is dropped, or deposited, in landforms.

deposition: Deposition is the processes where material being transported by a river is deposited. Deposition occurs when a river loses energy. This can be when a river enters a shallow area (this coud be when it floods and comes into contact with the flood plain) or towards its mouth where it meets another body of water.

The physiologic effects of ______ include blood vessel constriction and decreased cellular metabolism.

Answers

Answer:

The physiologic effects of cryotherapy include blood vessel constriction and decreased cellular metabolism.

Explanation:

Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses cold to aid in the process of injury healing. One of the effects of low temperatures is vasoconstriction. As a result, the pressure increases, modifying the blood's flow and aiding in the healing process since blood circulation increases. The low temperatures also decrease cellular metabolism reducing the amount of oxygen that the cell needs. As a consequence, the cells have a higher chance of survival after the injury.

Under which circumstance will a disease not spread beyond a few individuals in a population? If the rate of infection is lower than the rate of recovery, the reproductive ratio of the infection will be less than 1. If the rate of recovery is lower than the rate of infection, the reproductive ratio will be greater than 1. If the primary case infects a large number of people very quickly, the reproductive ratio will be less than 1. If the reproductive ratio is greater than 1, only a few individuals in a population will be infected.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - If the rate of infection is lower than the rate of recovery, the reproductive ration of the infection will be less than 1.

Explanation:

The rate of infection is the chances or occurence of new cases of infection in a particular population over a particular time period and the rate of recovery is the occurence of the recovery of an individual case over a period of time. These two rates determines if a disease or infection is spreading faster or lesser.

The higher the rate of infection to rate of recovery it is more lkely to be spreading rapidally and higher the rate of recovery the infection not spreading beyond few individuals in the population. In the later case, the reproductive ration of the infection will be less than 1.

A student combined equal amounts of two solutions. One solution had a pH of 2 and the other had a pH of 12. Which would most likely be the resulting pH?

Answers

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. 1

B. 3

C. 6

D. 11

The answer is C. 6

Explanation:

pH of a solution refers to the concentration of hydrogen ions in that solution. A scale is used to measure pH of a solution.

* A pH value less than (<) 7 is said to be ACIDIC. The lesser the number, the more acidic

* A pH value of exactly 7 is said to be NEUTRAL

* A pH value above (>) 7 is said to be BASIC OR ALKALINE. The higher the number, the more alkaline.

According to this question, two solutions of equal volume with pH values of 2 and 12 respectively were combined. Based on the explanation of pH scale, the solution with pH 2 is said to be very ACIDIC while the solution with pH 12 is said to be very ALKALINE.

Hence, if this two solutions are combined, a neutralization will occur which will result to a solution with close to neutral pH (7). In the above options, 6 is the closest pH value to NEUTRAL and hence, the most likely pH of the resulting solution.

When two populations of animals which arose from a common ancestor become geographically separated, the populations become increasingly different from one another as each adapts independently to a suite of unique ecological conditions. These populations are said to be __________. Conversely, when two populations of animals, especially those arising from unrelated ancestors, become increasingly similar as they adapt to common (shared) ecological conditions, they are said to be __________

Answers

Answer:

divergent; convergent

Explanation:

The first populations of animals are said to have evolutionally diverged while the second populations are said to have evolutionally converged.

In divergent evolution, closely related animal populations accumulate differences (due to differences in their environments) so much so that they can become different species.

In convergent evolution, different animal populations evolve similar traits (due to similarities in their environment).

Hence, the correct words to fill the gaps would be divergent and convergent respectively.

For young men of age 20, there have been 150 rounds of DNA replication during sperm production as compared to only 23 rounds for a woman of age 20. That is a 6.5-fold greater number of cell divisions and proportionately greater opportunity for new point mutations. Yet, on average, 20-year-old men contribute only about twice as many new point mutations to their offspring as do women. How can you explain this discrepancy

Answers

Answer:

A plausible hypothesis is that deleterious germline mutations in sperm cells are removed by natural selection since sperms have to compete to fertilize the egg

Explanation:

Sperm cells need to travel through the cervix in order to reach the uterus and fertilize the egg. During this process (which is called 'fertilization'), approximately 300 million sperm cells have to compete in a race to reach an egg. During fertilization, the majority of sperm cells die off quickly because male germinal cells carry mutations that lead to abnormalities (e.g., many sperms have double heads, others no tail, etc). The sperm cells are considered to be physiologically weak because their normal functions can be easily disrupted by mutations and, simultaneously, they are under strong selective pressure to be selected during the sperm race. In consequence, deleterious germline male mutations are expected to be eliminated by natural selection, thereby sperms are selected before fertilization so only the strongest ones can compete in the race to fuse with the egg cell and thus develop one zygote.

In the Punnett square fill in the shaded boxes with the alleles of each parent use B for the dominant allele (black fur) and b for the recessive allele (white fur)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Under the male put BB

Next to the female bb

then first row should be Bb Bb

second row should Bb Bb

Here, all the alleles of the black parent are dominant and are represented as BB, and those of the white parent are represented as bb, and they both are purebred dominant and recessive alleles that have produced all dominant black (Bb) offspring.

What is Punnett Square?

A Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the possible outcomes of a genetic cross between two parents. In this case, the parents have different alleles for a gene that determines the color of their fur. The dominant allele B produces black fur, while the recessive allele b produces white fur. The Punnett square is arranged in a grid, with each box representing one possible genotype for the offspring. The top row and left-hand column of the grid represent the alleles that each parent can contribute to their offspring. In this case, both parents are purebred,as expressed below.

Hence, black parents are dominant and are represented as BB, and those of the white parent are represented as bb, and have produced all dominant black offspring.
