McIver beetles come in three colors: black, white, and brown. They are consumed by the Foust finch. To avoid predators, the beetles hide on the bark of trees in their environments.

If the number of trees with black bark was significantly greater than the number of trees with white or brown bark, what would be the effect on the predation of McIver beetles by the Foust finches?

a.far fewer black beetles would be consumed
b. far more black beetles would be consumed
c. there should be no change in predation patterns

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. far fewer black beetles would be consumed

Explanation:

Since there are more trees with black bark, black beetles have a better chance of hiding. The white and brown beetles would be consumed more by the predators.

Answer 2

If the number of trees with black bark is significantly higher than those with white or brown barks, far fewer black beetles would be consumed.

With the availability of black, white, and brown-bark trees in the environment, black, white, and brown McIver beetles would be able to use the trees to camouflage or hide from their predator respectively.

Camouflage is a kind of visual mimicry in which a combination of materials such as color or light is used to conceal the identity of an object. Thus, black beetles can camouflage with black-barked trees, white beetles with white-barked trees, and so on.

Now, if there are significantly more black bark trees as compared to white and brown in an environment with black, white, and brown beetles, it means that more black beetles would be able to escape predation by camouflaging.

What was the time when  Galileo saw Jupiter's moons ?

Galileo saw these Jupiter's moon around 1600 and the decade.

Galileo was  almost unable to just see then  every moon on the  each  night and the reason for this is that some of just moved away  too  too far in process of the orbit for the weaker  telescope to  just view. In that case clearly they just  orbited then Jupiter in the same way and as the Moon orbits Earth.

And if the moons can orbit the planet, in that  case  perhaps it is true where the Earth orbited Sun after all in the end . Galileo hadn't seen moons around the  Jupiter as it  is almost failing  geographic observations.  Jupiter's moons although do not appear to orbit Earth.

Explain two possible reasons why a person who looks well could still be a source of infection microorganism?

Answers

Answer:

- many pathogens exhibit a latency (asymptomatic) period of incubation  

- usually, pathogens need to replicate many times in order to be transmitted between hosts (i.e., they need to increase the pathogenic load)

Explanation:

The latency stage refers to the period between being exposed to a particular pathogenic microorganism (for example, a virus) and has symptoms associated with the disease caused by such pathogen. Generally, this incubation stage is asymptomatic, thereby a person will look healthy during this period. Moreover, the pathogenic load (usually known as the viral load in viral infections) can be defined as the number of pathogenic microorganisms in an infected person's blood. During the first stages of infection, the pathogenic load usually is low, whereby a person can also look healthy during this period.

list ways in which invertebrates compensate for not having a spine

Answers

Invertebrates can be simply identified as animals that do not have a backbone. To compensate for the lack of an internal skeleton, most invertebrates have an external skeleton that protects their soft, inner body.

Invertebrates compensate for their inability to possess a backbone ( spine ) by having ;  An external skeleton ( exoskeleton )

What are invertebrates ?

Invertebrates are animals without backbone and also lacks an internal skeleton. The exoskeleton present in invertebrates helps in the protection of the outer surface of the organism from external stimuli and also aids in the movement through internal muscles.

Invertebrates compensates for the absence of a backbone through the possession of an exoskeleton which performs similar function just like the endoskeleton.

Hence we can conclude that Invertebrates compensate for their inability to possess a backbone ( spine ) by having ;  An external skeleton ( exoskeleton ).

b. fimbriae, nucleoid, and endospore
c. endospore, fimbriae, and plasmids
d. plasmids, nuclouid, and endospore

Answers

Answer:

d. plasmids, nucleiod, and endospore

Explanation:

Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms i.e. they do not possess a well defined nucleus in their cells. However, according to this question, some bacteria are said to possess antibiotic resistance, as well as the ability to survive through adverse conditions. These two characteristics of some bacteria is attributed to the possession of a plasmid and endospore respectively.

A plasmid is a circular extra-chromosomal DNA found in bacterial. It is termed "extra" because it is different from the DNA of the bacteria and carries different genes. The genes contained in the plasmid often gives the bacteria added advantage like antibiotic resistance. On the other hand, endospores are asexual spores produced by bacteria in order to withstand adverse environmental conditions like drought etc.

B. As the DNA sequence varies the mRNA sequence that is created during transcription
varies,

C. Since the structure of the protein determines its function we see variation in the traits
expressed due to how that protein ultimately functions based on its shape

D. This causes the structure of the protein to be different because different amino acids
are used.

Answers

Answer:

B → A → D → C

Explanation:

This question involves gene expression, which is the process of how gene is used to synthesize proteins that determine the phenotype or traits of an organism. Gene expression involves two processes namely: transcription and translation.

- Transcription is the process whereby a DNA template is used to synthesize a mRNA sequence.

- Translation is the process whereby the mRNA transcript is used to synthesize an amino acid sequence, which eventually becomes a protein.

Based on this, the correct order of sequence of events given in this question will be:

- As the DNA sequence varies, the mRNA sequence that is created during transcription varies (transcription).

- The amino acid sequence built from the mRNA varies (translation).

- This causes the structure of the protein to be different because different amino acids are used.

- Since the structure of the protein determines its function we see variation in the traits expressed due to how that protein ultimately functions based on its shape.

Samples of different materials A and B have the same mass, but the sample
of B is higher in density. Which statement could explain why this is so?
A. The particles that make up material B are more closely packed
together than the particles that make up material A.
B. The sample of material B has greater volume than the sample of
material A
C. The particles that make up material A have more mass than the
particles that make up material B.
O D. The particles that make up material A are more closely packed
together than the particles that make up material B

Answers

Answer: A. The particles that make up material B are more closely packed

Explanation:

The particles that make up material B are more closely packed together than the particles that make up material A. The correct answer is A. The particles that make up material B are more closely packed together than the particles that make up material A.

What is density ?

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Since the samples of material A and B have the same mass, but material B has a higher density, this means that material B has a smaller volume than material A.

The density of a material is related to the way its particles are arranged and packed together. When the particles are more closely packed together, the material will have a higher density. Therefore, option A is the correct answer that explains why the sample of material B is higher in density than material A.

If the samples of material A and B have the same mass, but the sample of B is higher in density, this means that the mass of the particles in material B is greater than that in material A, even though they have the same mass. This is because the particles in material B are more closely packed together, which means that there are more particles in a given volume of material B compared to the same volume of material A.

For example, imagine a container of 1 liter volume containing material A and another container of 1 liter volume containing material B. If the mass of material A and B in each container is the same, this means that the container of material A would have a greater volume than the container of material B. This is because the particles in material A are less closely packed together than the particles in material B.

Therefore, the key difference between the samples of material A and B is the way their particles are arranged and packed together, which determines their density.
