On the Bahamian island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in various, now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united

. Currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish that can swim in short, fast bursts; other predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish that can swim continuously for a long time. When placed together in the same body of water, the two kinds of female mosquitofish exhibit exclusive breeding preferences. Which two of the following have operated to increase divergence between mosquitofish populations on Andros? improved gene flow bottleneck effect sexual selection founder effect natural selection

Answer:

sexual selection

natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism (changes the allele frequency) by favouring traits that are advantageous among others because they increase the survival and reproduction. In the example above, mosquitofish that live in the predator-rich ponds devoloped a trait that help them survive (swimming in short, fast bursts). This adaptation to environment is favourable by natural selection.

Sexual selection refers to the female mosquitofish and the fact that they choose their males (with better reproductive success).

Which type of cell adhesion is useful for anchoring cells together and defending against shear forces on tissues
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Desmosomes

Explanation:

Desmosomes are cellular structures that adhere to neighboring cells. Its function is to hold the epithelial cells together, associating the intermediate filament cytoskeletons of neighboring cells, thus forming a transcellular network with high resistance to mechanical traction. It thus allows the cells to maintain their shape and the epithelial sheet to exist in a stable form. Inside cells act as anchoring sites for intermediate rope-shaped filaments, which form a structural network in the cytoplasm providing a certain rigidity. Through these junctions the intermediate filaments of the adjacent cells are indirectly connected forming a continuous network that extends throughout the tissue.

A scientist has discovered a new organism and wishes to classify it based on morphology and genetics. While he is waiting on the
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

tentatively group it with birds and speculate that the trait shared only with bats is a derived rather than an ancestral trait with bats.

Explanation:

The scientist after his observation should tentatively classify this organism with birds and the the second end of calculating the other morphological traits which makes it possess the likely bat traits to be ancestral.

According to scientists, most widely used modern systematic practice

depends upon the assumption that a change from character in one species

to character occurs once and once only in the evolutionary process and that this process is irreversible so that it never returns.

In this scheme, there are no independently derived parallel evolutionary changes,

nor convergences from a variety of states to a single one. Therefore, when two organisms share a

character state different from other species, it is because they are more closely related to each other through a recent common ancestor than they are to other species.

Also using the parsimony principle, a scheme of common ancestry for all the species is derived that uses all the characters that have been observed.

The hormones secretin and cholecystokinin target the pancreas, ________, and ________ to release pancreatic juice and bile into
elixir [45]

Answer: The hormones secretin and cholecystokinin target the pancreas, stomach, and gallbladder.

Explanation:

The duodenum secretes two additional hormones. Cholecystokinin (CCK), like enterogastrone, is secreted in response to the presence of fat in the chyme. CCK stimulates the contractions of the gallbladder, injecting bile into the duodenum so that fat can be emulsified and more efficiently digested. The other duodenal hormone is secretin. Released in response to the acidity of the chyme that arrives in the duodenum, secretin stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate, which then neutralizes some of the acidity.
