As you study two closely related predatory insect species, the two-spot and the three-spot avenger beetles, you notice that each

species seeks prey at dawn in areas without the other species. However, where their ranges overlap, the two-spot avenger beetle hunts at night and the three-spot hunts in the morning. When you bring them into the laboratory and isolate the two different species, you discover that the offspring of both species are nocturnal. You have discovered an example of ________.a. Batesian mimicry
b. mutualism
c. resource partitioning
d. character displacement

Answer:

d. Character displacement

Explanation:

Character displacement is the phenomenon in which the similar species living in the same geographical region with similar niches differentiate in order to reduce their niche overlap and avoid competitive exculsion. Just like in this case of two- spot and three -spot avenger beetles as their timmings for hunting is different where their ranges overlap. So it's the good example of character displacement,

Answer: The correct answer is option D

CHARACTER DISPLACEMENT

Explanation: Character displacement is a type of evolutionary change or divergence,in character displacement, two similar species inhabit the same environment. under such conditions, natural selection favors a divergence in the characters,morphology(forms), ecology (relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings), behaviors, or physiology (functions) of the organisms.

Character displacement is caused by when similar species that live in the same geographical region, occupying similar niches differentiate themselves so as to minimize/reduce niche overlap and avoid competitive exclusion/ behaviours among themselves.

From the explanation given,character displacement is clearly seen in the avenger beetles from the question.

The delicate connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Endomysium

Explanation:

Endomysium is a thin layer of loose connective tissue which surrounds an individual myocyte or muscle fiber. Collagen is one of the most abundant protein found in this layer. Endomysium also connects the near by muscle fibers to each other. These fibers are then able to exchange various ions necessary for muscle contraction.

Above the level of endomysium, there is perimysium which forms the covering of a bundle of muscle fibers. Even above this level is epimysium which covers the whole muscle.

The Citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondria. There are nine biochemical reactions involved in the Citric acid cycle, and th
Sauron [17]

Answer:

. 2C- acetyl Co-A from the link reaction  enters the kreb Cycle to combine with 4 Carbon Oxaloacetate to form 6-  Citrate

The Citrate forms intermediate Isocitrate, which eventually formed  6-C alpha ketoglutarate.

The alpha-ketoglutarate forms the intermediate succinyl-Co A, which later formed  5C-succinate.

5C -Succinate  forms 4C-fumarate, the latter formed 4C-malate- which eventually formed 4C-oxaloacetate.

The 4C of these compounds is fixed, to ensure constant availability of 4C of oxaloacatate for 2C Acetyl -CoA to bind it for the cycle to continuously occur for production of first product Citric Acid  from which other products are  formed from.

The ATP that is generated in glycolysis is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, a very different mechanism than the one
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The correct statements are a, b and d. The incorrect statements are c and e.

Explanation:

Substrate level phosphorylation signifies the generation of ATP from ADP and a phosphorylated intermediate. On the other hand, in oxidative phosphorylation, the formation of ATP takes place from ADP and Pi, that is, an inorganic phosphate.  

In substrate-level phosphorylation an enzyme is needed for the reaction to take place. In the process, a dissociation of bond takes place between an organic molecule and a phosphate prior to the formation of ATP. In this, one of the substrates is a molecule obtained from the dissociation of glucose.  

In substrate-level phosphorylation, the enzyme taking part in the synthesis of ATP is not required to get attached to the membrane to generate ATP. The phosphate group, which is added to ADP to produce ATP does not come from free inorganic phosphate ions.

Why are nutrients and gases most evenly distributed in a lake in the winter?
kvv77 [185]

When the temperature reaches 0˚C (32˚F), the top layer of the lake freezes and turns into ice. In solid form, water molecules are less dense and thus ice floats on the top of the lake.

This solid barrier prevents any wind-induced mixing as well as protects the relatively warm water underneath. Furthermore, light is also blocked so that photosynthesis is inhibited during this period. As the lake water is separated from the atmosphere, no direct oxygen diffusion occurs.

All these factors together causes a more even distribution of nutrients and gases in a lake in winter.
