The correct answer is D. Insects lay eggs in the sloth's waste.

Explanation:

Commensalism is a type of interaction between organisms of different species, in this, one organism benefits from another without causing any benefit or damage. Due to this, commensalism differs from other interactions such as parasitism in which one organism benefit from another and causes harm to it, or from mutualism as in this, the organisms involved obtain a benefit. This implies the one that is an example of commensalism is "Insects lay eggs in the sloth's waste" because in this relationship insects obtain a benefit that is a place to lay eggs while the sloth remains unaffected.

Sort the different barriers into their modes of reproductive isolation. A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to
Stella [2.4K]

Answer/Explanation:

Types of reproductive isolation include: temporal, ecological, mechanical, and behavioural.

A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to mate with a snail having a conical shell - this is an example of mechanical isolation, where the animals are physically unable to mate due to incompatible body shapes and sizes.

The reproductive organs of male bush babies do not match with the reproductive organs of females of other bush baby species. - this is another example of mechanical isolation, as the sexual organs will physically not allow reproduction between these species

The mating call of a cricket is not recognized by a cricket of other species - this is an example of behavioural isolation, which results from incompatible mating rituals. I.e. the animals do not respond to each others mating behaviours

The signals sent by a male firefly are not recognized by the female firefly of other species. - this is also an example of behavioural isolation.

Temporal isolation is where species cannot interact because they do not have the same mating seasons or are not active at the same type of day. ?Ecological isolation occurs when two species do not come into physical contact to one another because they access different areas of the habitat. E.g. mating zones, food sources or nesting sites.

There are multiple lines of evidence that provide support for common ancestry and evolution. Write 3-4 paragraphs describing at
postnew [5]
<h3>Transitional fossils</h3>

Transitional fossils are any fossilized remains of a life form which show common traits to both an ancestral group and its derived descendant group.

<em> Australopithecus afarensis </em>is a hominid that represents an evolutionary transition between modern bipedal humans and their quadrupedal ape ancestors.

Similarities in DNA

All species in the world share some amount of DNA. Species that are more related to each other share bigger amount of DNA than species that are less related. For example fruit fly and modern humans share 61% of their genome and chimps and humans share 96%.

Evolution of the eye

The PAX6 gene controls where eyes develop in animals ranging from fruit flies, octopuses, to mice and humans.

An older adult client tells the nurse, i give myself a mineral oil enema every day. what is the appropriate nursing response?
babunello [35]
<span>I could only imagine that the nurse would be a bit taken aback that the paitent is using mineral oil and shoving it up their own buttocks. The nurse would report this to the doctor on call or the RN of which she can discuss proper remedy for the client. Proper responses from the nurse would also include the how to's in doing this correctly if this indeed is what the paitent is wanting to continue as far as short term relief over finding out what is causing the problem in the first place.</span>
