One summer you begin noticing ants in your kitchen. It starts off as just a few here and there, but pretty soon you begin notici

ng more and more appearing each day. Before long, it is apparent you have an ant infestation. While you wait for an exterminator to come to your house, you observe their behaviours. You notice that some ants seem to be congregating near crumbs, while other ants seem to avoid the crumbs and, instead, are eating the plant you have in the kitchen. You try to clear the ants away from the food, and when you do, you notice a strong, unpleasant scent. You then try to clear the ants away from the plants, and when you do, you observe no unpleasant odors. When the exterminator arrives, you ask him about these strange observances. Upon closer look at the ants, the exterminator concludes that you have an infestation of two different species, Crematogaster ashmeadi (acrobat ants) and Linepithema humile (Argentine ants). a) Propose the most probable type of speciation that occured between C. ashmeadi and L. humile. Justify your response. b) Identify one potential postzygotic isolating mechanism that reduces the fitness of the hybrid individuals.

Answer:

Sympatric speciation.

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation occurs between Crematogaster ashmeadi and Linepithema humile ants because they live on the same geographical location. Sympatric speciation is a type of speciation in which ancestral population evolve into separate species without separation of geography. Hybrid sterility is the postzygotic isolating mechanism that decreases the fitness of the hybrid individuals and helps in controlling the population of an organisms..

Do you think the gene EEF1 ALPHA1 supports cell theory
Leto [7]

The gene EEF1 ALPHA1 supports cell theory. Cell theory states that all living things are made from cells. Since all living things share this gene that dates back to an organism that lived billions of years ago, it makes sense to conclude that all living things originated from the earliest forms of life. This conclusion would explain why all living things on Earth are made of cells.

Answer:

This happened because the check points in cell cycles are not working properly which can help to stop cells having abnormal chromosomes.

Sarah performs an experiment to determine the effect of nitrogen on plants. She studies the effect of nitrogen on the growth of
Andre45 [30]

the answer to your question is the amount of time and the effect it has on each material as well as the fact that the nitrogen cannot change it is an unchangeable variable whereas everything else the time, the substance of the subject, the possible formation of nodules can change without changing the identity of the experiment itself otherwise, you have a dependent variable. I hope this helps :-)

Which factor is least likely to affect the results and interpretation of a functional MRI?
sergij07 [2.7K]
Prescription medication is the least likely to affect the results and interpretation of a functional MRI.

Here are some of the factors that is most likely to affect the results of MRI :

- Caffeinated soda. Caffeinated soda tend to constrict the blood vessels in the brain, which will affect MRI results.
- cancerous growth, will create a huge shadow on MRI results
- sprained ankle, especially if it was fixed with metal bandage, will cause harm during MRI
