Dr. Pringle suggests that there's only very few large herbivorous species that can survive in certain area. The reason behind his claim is that according to him there will be only enough food for few large species, so there's natural limitations in the food sources, as there should be enough to support them in order for them to survive.
On the other hand, in Mpala, there's 22 large herbivorous species, which directly contradicts Dr. Pringle's hypothesis. The reason why so many large species of herbivores an survive in Mpala and always have enough food for all of them, is that they have all specialized in eating certain types of plants or parts of plants, thus they are not direct competition to one another, and there's always enough food for all of them.
2. Which of the following can survive either with oxygen or without it?
facultative anaerobes
3. Where are you likely to find a photoautotroph?
near the surfaces of lakes and streams
4. During what process do prokaryotes exchange genetic information?
conjugation
5. What would be a direct consequence of the disappearance of nitrogen-fixing prokaryotes?
<span>Organisms would not be able to get nutrients they need to make proteins</span>
Like DNA, RNA contains four nitrogenous bases. Three of them are the same as those found in DNA. The one that is different is called uracil. The five-carbon sugar in RNA is called ribose.
Uracil is a crystalline organic molecule, and a component of the ribonucleic acid (RNA). The RNA molecule is made up of a sequence of nucleotides, which individually contains a five-carbon sugar (ribose), a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. Uracil is one of the four nitrogenous bases present in the nucleic acid of RNA. The others are adenine, cytosine, and guanine, and are represented by the letters; A, G, C and U. In DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the uracil nucleobase is substituted by thymine.
Answer:
Prezygotic barriers:
1. Habitat isolation
2. Behavioral isolation
Explanation:
Pre-zygotic barriers are the barriers which do not allow the formation of the zygote in the organisms.
The two mechanisms of the pre-zygotic barriers are the:
1. Habitat isolation: the Flycatchers do not share the same habitat which is also mentioned in the question that they live on different islands.
2. The behavioural isolation: the Flycatchers could have evolved the different mating rituals as a result of which the could not interbreed.
Thus, Habitat isolation and Behavioral isolation are correct.
Answer:
True to some extent...
Explanation:
We can use bio-informatical tools like MEGA to see that to what extent an amino acid sequence shares ancestry with the other one. But these tools are based on statistical methods and mathematical modelling that make them unreliable as compared to the real world observations.
