Answer:
main topic or area of concern.
Explanation:
An information source can be defined as a system or medium through which informations, knowledge and ideas may be gotten and used by an individual. An information source can either be a primary or secondary source of information. The source options for informations are television, radio, web, newspapers, journals, magazines etc.
The four criteria used to evaluate source options are;
1. Accuracy: the user of this source of information should check if the data presented are accurate and credible. At this point, you should ensure that the informations provided are well researched and cited for verification.
2. Authority: you should endeavor to know who the author and publisher of the information source is. Also, it is important to know their qualifications.
3. Currency: it is necessary to know when the information source was created or produced by the author. Also, the user of this data should verify when it was published (in the case of a book) or if it requires an update (in the case of a website). Hence, the information source should be timely.
4. Objectivity: ensure that the source of information is unbiased, reliable, and should not only contain opinions but facts.
Basically, the subject of a source can best be described as the main topic or area of concern.
Phenylketonuria causes a severe cognitive disability due to the inability to metabolize phenylalanine. It is an autosomal recessive disorder. About one in 12,000 newborns in Massachusetts are afflicted with the disease, skewed higher than the general US population due to more Irish-Americans. Assuming the gene is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the carriers (heterozygotes) in Massachusetts would be calculated to be...
Answer:
The frequency of the carriers (heterozygotes) in Massachusetts is 0.018

Imagine two populations of penguins live in the same ecosystem. One population begins to exchange stones as a mating ritual while the other population begins to dance by shifting from one foot to the other. Individuals from each population will only mate with individuals that display the appropriate mating ritual. Which type of reproductive isolation mechanism does this scenario describe?(1 point)

Geographic Isolation
Temporal Isolation
Habitat Isolation

Which of the following is true about the coasts of North and South America? O A. Little industry is located along the coasts, B. There are few cities and the population is sparse. O c. A majority of the population is located there. D. People go to the coasts only when on vacation,
Answer:
The correct answer is C. In North and South America, a majority of the population is located on the coasts.
Explanation:
Historically, the vast majority of civilizations have sought to establish their urban centers around bodies of water, be they rivers or seas, that allow them a rapid expansion outward as well as channels through which to channel trade. Thus, it can be seen how throughout the world and especially the American continent, large cities and population centers are located primarily on the coasts. Examples of this situation are Vancouver in Canada, New York and Los Angeles in the United States, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Rinderpest (a virus) has high mortality in wildebeest (a kind of herbivore), especially in young animals. From the early 1960s, after the elimination of a virus called rinderpest, the wildebeest population has increased dramatically from 1958 to 1978. The elimination of rinderpest impacted the wildebeest population. What type of factor is rinderpest
Answer:
density-dependent, top-down factor
Explanation:
In biology, limiting factors are resources and other conditions in the environment whose presence/availability limit the population growth rate. Density-dependent factors refer to the conditions whose effects on the size/growth of the population vary depending on the population density. Some examples of density-dependent factors include diseases, competition, and predation, etc. These factors can exhibit a positive or negative correlation with the population size. Moreover, bottom-up population control (species limitation by resources) refers to limitations placed by resources allowing growth (e.g., food source or habitat), while top-down population control (limitation by enemies), refers to limitations placed by factors that control the death rate in the population (e.g., predation or diseases).

Why can't weeds take over the world? In other words, what limits the growth of populations?
Answer and Explanation:
Many elements can limit population growth. The main elements that can cause this are the lack of resources necessary for the life and development of living beings and the lack of space to be taken by them. In relation to weeds, these resources can be the availability of sun, amount of soil, soil fertility, availability of water and space. However, these plants are very resistant to the lack of these resources, and what most limits their growth is human interference.
Weeds are unfavorable to agriculture and other human activities. This makes humans fight the population growth of these plants using chemical products and even physical strategies. This interference prevents weeds from taking over the world.
Changes in the plant species in an area cause changes to populations of animal species in the area too. Propose a reason why this occurs.

What is Climate Change?
Explain your answer.
What is Climate Change?
Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place.
How it helps us:
Studying the climate helps us predict how much rain the next winter might bring, or how far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures. ... We can also see which regions are most likely to be affected by extreme weather, or which wildlife species are threatened by climate change.
How it works:
As the earth's atmosphere heats up, it collects, retains, and drops more water, changing weather patterns and making wet areas wetter and dry areas drier. Higher temperatures worsen and increase the frequency of many types of disasters, including storms, floods, heat waves, and droughts.
How it affects us:
Human health is vulnerable to climate change. The changing environment is expected to cause more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Extreme weather events can compound many of these health threats.
1) Define biodiversity in your own words:
2) Why is biodiversity important?
Answer:
Explanation:
1.) Biodiversity is variety in an ecosystem and the living things inside of it. It means all the different species and creatures that live on the planet.
2.) Biodiversity is important because it provides vital ecosystem functions such as soil fertilization, nutrient recycling, pest and disease regulation, erosion control, and crop and tree pollination. Each species ina n ecosystem has a role to play.
