Answer: Xiao can use these structures to create a similarity matrix that enables to differentiate between synapomorphies and homoplasies .
Explanation: A synapomorphy is a trait that has been inherited from the same ancestor, this trait enables to establish a relation of homology between two or more species; while a homoplasy is an analog structure that doesn't have homology.
A. direct B. indirect C. direct D. indirect
Competition occurs by direct and indirect means. Organisms interact directly by fighting (aggression) for scarce resources. Two eagles fighting over the salmon carcass and two colonies of ant clashing over a wasp are samples of aggression (direct competition)
Indirect competition happens when there is a common or limited <span>supply of at least one resource (food, water, and territory). </span>Use of this resource lessens and later depletes the amount available to others, or they compete for space.<span> Gray foxes preying on penguins and squirrels relying on nuts for food are samples of indirect competition.</span>
Answer:
Genetic diversity is important because it helps maintain the health of a population because a diverse set of alleles that can be valuable in resisting diseases, pests and other stresses. If the environment changes, a population that has a higher variability of alleles will be better able to evolve to adapt to the new environment and therefore survive longer. Hope this helps!
Answer:
(2) low power: 100 small pollen grains
high power: 25 large pollen grains
Explanation:
Compound light microscopes are devices used to greatly magnify objects. They have several objective lenses, a low-power lens magnifies 10 times (10X) the objects, and the high-power lens magnifies them 40 times (40X).
For that reason, when observing the pollen grains with the high-power lens the student will see them bigger than with the low-power lens. However, the field of view (the visible area through a lens) is reduced when a higher power lens is used, so fewer pollen grains will be seen.
The answer therefore is the option of higher number of pollen grains of small size for the low-power lens, and lower number of pollen grains of larger size for the high-power lens.
The first organisms to inhabit Earth were prokaryotes that
lived 3.5 billion years ago. prokaryotes are well organised, achieving all of an organism’s life functions
within a single cell. These were the precursors to eukaryotic cells
