Answer/Explanation:
Types of reproductive isolation include: temporal, ecological, mechanical, and behavioural.
A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to mate with a snail having a conical shell - this is an example of mechanical isolation, where the animals are physically unable to mate due to incompatible body shapes and sizes.
The reproductive organs of male bush babies do not match with the reproductive organs of females of other bush baby species. - this is another example of mechanical isolation, as the sexual organs will physically not allow reproduction between these species
The mating call of a cricket is not recognized by a cricket of other species - this is an example of behavioural isolation, which results from incompatible mating rituals. I.e. the animals do not respond to each others mating behaviours
The signals sent by a male firefly are not recognized by the female firefly of other species. - this is also an example of behavioural isolation.
Temporal isolation is where species cannot interact because they do not have the same mating seasons or are not active at the same type of day. ?Ecological isolation occurs when two species do not come into physical contact to one another because they access different areas of the habitat. E.g. mating zones, food sources or nesting sites.
Answer:
The inheritance pattern of these traits will be independent. However, it will depend on the factor that which trait is dominant or recessive. It might also show incomplete dominance.
The different genotypes that organisms of this population might have are aa, ab, ac, bb, bc , cc. If neither of the alleles are completely dominant over the other, then incomplete dominance might exist for such genes.
Answer:
D. Ticks live on and drink blood from a cow.
This is an example of parasitism, where the ticks (parasite) are living off of the blood of the cow, the host animal.
Explanation:
Parasitism is a relationship between organisms. In this relationship, one organism (parasite) lives on or in another organism (host) and gains benefits from the host, causing it some harm.
Parasites are classified as ectoparasites, which live on the body surface of the host (ticks, fleas, leeches, and lice) and endoparasites, which live in the body of the host. Endoparasites are either intercellular, which live inside the host’s body (round worms, tapeworms) or intracellular, which live inside the cells in the host’s body (bacteria or viruses).
Parasites help to control dominant species and has a role in evolution by transferring genetic material between species.
The growth of the population is described below.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
The population growth of the region is varying according to many factors like,
A. Members of the reproductive age group.
B. Availability of nutrition.
C. Mortality rate of the population.
Here the members of the reproductive age group are few. The population being small in a large area there is a high availability of nutrients.
So the growth rate of the population will be very high. This is called the log phase of the growth.
Then comes the lag phase of growth where the population is considerably big with a fight for food and shelter. The survival of the fittest is seen and the population still grows but slowly. This is the lag phase.
But with time, the population growth is stopped because the ecosystem has a particular carrying capacity which is the maximum number of population that the ecosystem can support. So beyond this, the population won't increase, and thereby the natality rate and the mortality rate becomes equal.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The DNA in all the cells of an organism are the same. The reason there are different types of cells in the organism even through their DNA is the same is because genes are deferentially expressed in the cell types. The genes that are expressed in the brain cells are different from those expressed in the liver. The rest of the genes that are not being expressed are silenced through folding by histones – so they are not exposed to DNA polymerase.
