Suppose a certain species of insect lives in the lush green canopy of the rain forest. Some of the insects are bright green in c

olor, and some are bright yellow. Assume there is a natural predator of the insect in the area. What do you expect to happen to the populations of the green and the yellow insects over time?

You would expect the number of yellow insects in the area to decrease and the number of green insects to increase overtime in this situation. This is because the predator would be more likely to see (and try to eat) the yellow insects than the green insects in a habitat which is "lush and green". Due to this, less yellow insects would be present so there would be slightly more resources, space etc for the remaining green insects to live and breed (taking into account that lots of other animals live in a rainforest too, not just these different coloured members of a single species)

Answer:

yellow insects population will decline

Explanation:

In a lush green area , it is easy for green insects to hide themselves. Thus,  yellow colored insects can be easily traced by the predator species. This will cause decrease in population of yellow insects with time, while the green insect population will keep on growing. Removal of yellow insects also makes more food available for green insects . Hence without any environmental  restriction , the green insects population will flourish well.

marissa [1.9K]

Parents can pass on chromosomes to their children that are different than their own when the new gene combinations are created by crossing over. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over which occurs in meiosis. When homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. As the result, a new combination of genes will be formed. If there was not crossing over, all genes on a chromosome would be inherited together.crossing over of homologous chromosomes during meiosis

Hope this helps.....

1) Interphase is the longest phase and most of the cells are present in that very stage !!


2) Interphase is the longest phase and Anaphase is the shortest phase !! Interphase is the longest phase as in this phase the cells prepare themselves for dividing and it takes most of the time for gathering energy for division ; in this phase DNA also replicate !!


3)
Interphase: DNA replicates;

Prophase: Nuclear membrane starts disappearing and Centrioles go on opposite poles !! DNA condense to form Chromosome.

Metaphase: Chromosome attach to spindle fibre and starts to move to equitorial plate.

Anaphase: Centromere divide and half the chromatid goes on either pole

Telophase: Nuclear membrane starts to reassemble; Chrmosome goes to normal uncoiled state ; Other organelles starts appearing

Cytokinesis: Cell furrow forms and cell divides into two half.


4) In dividing cell nucleus membrane is absent while in non dividing cell the membrane is intact


5) Tip of the onion root is meristamatic cell which divides but if it is permanent cell ; there would be no division !!

What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas? Use the following information to answe
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: alternative C

Explanation: Aerobic bacteria are oxygen dependant, and because of that they gather in blue and red areas since those are the <u>light spectra in which algae photosynthethises</u> the most. The <u>photosynthesis product is oxygen</u>, being this the reason why blue and red areas attract aerobic bacteria.

LekaFEV [45]

The independent variable of an experiment is the one that is intentionally changed or manipulated to see the results of changing said variable.

We are told that in each different group, the amount of caffeine that is given to the dogs changes - in the control group, they get no caffeine, in the 2nd group, they get 10 mg of caffeine each, and in the 3rd group, they get 50 mg of caffeine each.

Therefore, since the amount of caffeine that is given to the dogs is the only variable that is being manipulated, this is the independent variable.

Which of the following is a scientific question the student might ask?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C)  How does sunlight affect a model of a biogeochemical cycle?</em>

Explanation:

A scientific question can be described as a question based on which a hypothesis can be made and observations and experiments can be performed. The results from these experiments and observations would account for the validation of a hypothesis. Hence, a scientific question should be a question based on which a hypothesis can be made and experiments can be performed.

In the option C, the sunlight might increase or decrease various processes of the biogeochemical cycle. We can hypothesize and perform experiments to get the results. Hence, it is a scientific question.
