The burrowing owl is found in dry, open areas such as grasslands, prairies, savannas, deserts, farmlands, golf courses, and othe

r urban areas throughout most of western United States and Florida, Central America, and most of South America. It makes its home in burrows of other animals and primarily eats insects and small rodents. As humans build more cities, nearby burrowing owl habitats change due to destruction of burrows and loss of prey. Which is the least likely outcome of the habitat changes that are described? The niche of the burrowing owl may change as it adapts to the changes. The niche of the burrowing owl may change as it moves to a new habitat. The population of the burrowing owl may be reduced or even become extinct. The population of the burrowing owl may increase in its new surroundings.

Extinction would be the least likely outcome

Answer: The population of the burrowing may be reduced or even extinct.

Explanation:

An adaptation is change or alteration in the structure and function of an organism which favors it's survival in the changing habitat.

Niche can be define as the functional role of an organism in an ecosystem for example type of food chosen, breeding season, habitat and others.

The niche of the burrowing owl will change in the new habitat. But population may not reduce or extinct as the members will adapt the changes occurring in the new habitat.

Which would most likely lead to a change in the genetic structure of a population?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The answer is C.

A 5 percent increase in the reproductive success of some genotypes, but a 5 percent decrease in the reproductive success of other genotypes

Explanation:

Incomplete question, here is the full question: https://quizlet.com/153540854/biology-107-part1-flash-cards/

For the genetic structure of a population to change, we can either depend on natural selection or mutations but there has to be an imbalance.

The answers given in the options A and B are referring to changes in genotypes which surely affects the genetic structure of the population but the way these options are given is in equilibrium, meaning they create and imbalance but then counter that with something else.

In option C, some genotypes get a 5 percent increase while some get a 5 percent decrease in their reproductive success, which will most likely result in a change in the genetic structure of a population.

I hope this answer helps.

A prokaryote is most likely to use which of the following modes of metabolism to release energy if it is in an environment witho
Anni [7]
It's letter A - Obligate anaerobe.

<em>Obligate anaerobes</em> are microorganisms killed by normal atmospheric concentrations of oxygen. A <em>facultative anaerobe</em> prefers to produce energy in the presence of oxygen but can survive without it. <span>A <em>photoautotroph </em>is an organism that converts light energy into chemical energy. </span><span>Prokaryotes may perform </span>aerobic<span> (oxygen-requiring) or </span>anaerobic<span> (non-oxygen-based) metabolism and some can switch between these modes. Since we're talking about an environment without oxygen and dies when exposed to oxygen, the preferable answer is A.</span>

Sunlight is the main change! sun light cannot penetrate into the deep layers of the ocean and availability of oxygen is also low there. this causes the considerable amount of organisms to live in the upper layers of the ocean and we can only observe decomposing organisms in the deeper layers!

The NET reproduction per individual per unit time (r) is _____ per mouse per month in a population of 1,000 mice where 500 mice
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

The Net Reproduction per individual per unit time (r) can be calculated as (births-deaths)/population size

Given that:

Population size of mice = 1,000; Birth = 500; Death = 400,

Net reproduction rate (r) = (births-deaths)/population size

r = (500 – 400)/1000

r = 100/1000

r = 0.1

The Net reproduction per individual per unit time (r) is 0.1
