Answer:
c. Physical adaptations to the environment drive the distribution of all three species in the wild.
Explanation:
Options A and B refer to competition between species. The experiment was about the colonizing ability of the three species, and not the interaction among them. So these two options are not correct.
Option D states that species A is better adapted to the upper intertidal zone than the middle or lower. But the table shows that species A is equally adapted to colonize upper and middle intertidal zone, and less adapted to colonize lower zones.
The correct option is C. When these competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species. In the exposed example, the three species coexist in the middle and lower zones, which means that they probably have different niches and got adapted to living to their environments. This adaptation to different conditions is what leads to their distribution.
In the exposed example, species A and B can live in the upper intertidal zone, where species C can not live because they can not tolerate environmental conditions. The three species can live in the middle zone, but still, A and B are more adapted to this area than C. Among A and B, B is the most adapted to living in the upper and middle zones. Species C seems to be very adapted to live in the lower intertidal zone, where species A and B can also live, but are less adapted to this area, probably due to environmental conditions or due to their vulnerability to predation. In this last area, species A is less adapted.
This seems to be the best answer: C. The data does not take into account underground growth and the actual area of fungus spread may be larger, so the original conclusion of the experiment is not accurate.
Answer:
The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are more organized and condensed.
Explanation:
Chromatin is genetic material packaged into a complex by special proteins (histones). That complex is in the form of uncoiled structures, so chromatin fibers are long and thin. Chromatin structure is permissive to DNA replication, transcription and recombination events.
On the other hand, chromosomes are highly condensed structures of genetic material that are formed just before the cell division.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is given that out of 40, total 5 specimen are selected.
Thus, the number of ways in which 5 specimens are selected from a given sample of 40 is given by
Number of specimen with certain trait is equal to 3.
Now, total 5 specimen are selected out of which one specimen is selected from the set of specimen that has certain trait (i.e out of 3) while the remaining four specimen will be selected from the rest 
specimen.
Thus, the probability of choosing only 1 of the 5 specimens with the trait is equal to
