A student investigated whether ants dig more tunnels in the light or in the dark. She thought that ants used the filtered light

that penetrated the upper layers of earth and would dig more tunnels during the daytime. Ten ant colonies were set up in commercial ant farms with the same number and type of ants per ant farm. The same amount of food was given to each colony, and the colonies were in the same temperature. Five of the colonies were exposed to normal room light and five were covered with black construction paper so they did not receive light. Every other day for three weeks the length of the tunnels was measured in millimeter using a string and a ruler. Averages for the light and dark groups for I each measured were then computed. The averages are listed in the following chart.

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

  1. Source of light, measuring tool (the string and ruler), ant food, ant farms
  2. Whether or not the tunnels created by ants differ in length depending on the amount of light available
  3. More tunnels are dug by ants during the daylight hours
  4. The hypotheses will probably come out to be true since ants are usually hiding away from predators during the night
  5. The presence of light
  6. The length of a particular tunnel
  7. Perform a trial under normal conditions (room light)
  8. Inaccuracy or inconsistency in measurements

There are choices for this question namely:

A) changing the relative evaluation of attributes
B) associating the product with a special group, event or cause
C) changing the basic motivational function
D) changing consumer beliefs about competitor brands
<span>E) changing consumers' subjective norms
</span>
The correct answer is "associated the product with a special group, event, or cause". The product here is diet coke and the company associates diet coke with a special group (people who are trying to lose weight by cutting out carbohydrates), event/cause (the association of diet coke with American Heart Association). This will entice buyers, especially those who are trying to lose weight, to buy their product.

amid [387]
A muskrat population is growing exponentially. What might cause this population to enter logistic growth?

Answer: One cause that might cause the population of this semi aquatic rodents to enter a logistic growth would be the elimination of predators from their environment and the increase of food. The reason being that they are rodents with an adaptable lifestyle and an omnivorous diet. With no predators they would quickly adapt to their environment and increase their birth rate.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Organisms living in the deep bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones require oxygen for respiration. What process brings oxygen fro
alekssr [168]

The correct answer is upwelling from equatorial to Polar Regions results in bringing oxygen from the epipelagic zone to deeper oceanic zones.  

It is a process in which the wind mediated motion of nutrient-rich, dense, and cooler water is moved towards the surface substituting the nutrient depleted and warmer surface water. The epipelagic zone refers to the upper layer of the ocean, which is abundant in oxygen and gets the majority of the sunlight for the procedure of photosynthesis. The upwelling of water from the equatorial to the polar region brings oxygen.

Which of the following claims about the TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 mammalian genes is most likely to be accurate?
Illusion [34]

The TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 genes are located next to each other on a single chromosome and are organized into an operon is most likely to be accurate.

The option a is correct.

Explanation:

The genes for the Tyrosinase, TRP2 and TRP1 are located on the same chromosome and are operons. These are operons because they are controlled by same transcription factors on mRNA.

Tyrosinase enzyme is important for the synthesis of melanin, eye pigments and hair colour. The synthesis of all these is completed in three distinct reactions  catalysed by TRP1, TRP2 and Tyr genes. These work as operon and the protein product is almost 40% similar of the three genes.

The amount of melanin production depends on tyrosinase enzyme activity of all the three genes.

The genetic regulation is done by operons.
