Salamanders, ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers all live in aquatic habitats. Salamanders lay their eggs in small freshwater

pools and feed on insects. Osprey habitats include rivers, bays, and swamps and the birds feed on fish and other animals in the water or on land. Snapping turtles live in fresh or brackish water and feed on plants, fish, frogs, and snakes. Beavers build lodges on islands, pond banks, and lake shores and eat a variety of shrubs, grasses, and crops.Based on the information provided above, which of the following species would best be classified as a specialist?A.SalamandersB. OspreysC. Snapping turtlesD. Beavers

Answer:

A. Salamanders

Explanation:

Specialists species are species that can thrive in a unique and limited range of resources. They require a specific environmental condition to reproduce and survive in  environment and also have limited or few diets they need for nutrition. These limiting characteristics put them at a disadvantage of being endangered and threatened.  

Salamanders are endangered species that are fast going into extinction. They require wetland (freshwater pools) for reproduction to be possible, and feed mainly on insects. This makes them specialist species.

Ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers are all generalist species. They can all thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions, and also have varieties of diets they can get nutrition from to survive.

2. Which agricultural specialist is most likely to perform research to understand factors impacting the pH of soil?
Zina [86]

Answer:

D. Agronomist

Explanation:

Agronomists are professionals that study how to make soils more productive (in terms of food) around the world. Soil pH is an index that calculates the acidity/alkalinity of the soil, which is indicated on a 14-point scale (pH equal to 7 = neutral; pH below 7 = acidic,  pH higher than 7 = alkaline). In this regard, it is well known that the pH of the soils drastically affects plant development, and thereby a proper soil pH is fundamental to ensure optimal plant growth (required for nutrient intake). For this purpose, agronomists are in charge of studying and researching the pH of the soils in order to increase crop yields. Nowadays, the pH of the soils can be easily measured by digital soil pH pocket testers that utilize a pH electrode in order to calculate the pH value.

Give one example of how the testing of Platismatia glauca could benefit future ecological research of this forest.
storchak [24]

Answer:

Testing Platismatia glauca could help scientists understand which pollutants have the largest effect on lichen populations. It also may help scientists understand the current pollutant levels in the atmosphere compared to the population of lichens on the trees. This information can help them more accurately predict population changes over time.

hope this helps:)

A student decides to set up an experiment to see if detergent affects the growth of seeds. he sets up 10 seed pots. 5 of the see
Black_prince [1.1K]

By placing the pots with detergent in the sun and the pots without detergent in the shade, the student is not comparing the effects that detergent has in the growing rate of the seeds under the same conditions; besides, he does not have a control group. Therefore, he will not be able to determine if the growing rate of the plants were affected by the detergent, the lack of sunlight, or a combination of both factors.

Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. One parent has red, axial flowers, and the other has white, terminal flowers
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>The probability of producing plants with white axial flowers would be 1/16.</em>

From the illustration, All F1 individuals had red, axial flowers. It thus means that red and axial genes are dominant over white and terminal genes in the pea plant.

Let us assume that the allele for flower color is A (red) and a (white); and the allele for flower location is B (axial) and b (terminal).

Pure-breeding red, axial flower = AABB

Pure breeding white, terminal flower = aabb

AABB   x    aabb

F1 genotype = AaBb - all red and axial

At F2:

AaBb   x   AaBb

Progeny

<em>9 A_B_ red/axial</em>

<em>3 A_bb red/terminal</em>

<em>3 aaB_ white/axial</em>

<em>1 aabb - white/terminal</em>

Hence, the probability of producing plants with white axial flowers in the F2 generation is 1/16.
