Identify each adaptation as structural or behavioral adaptations.

Biology

Zina [86]1 year ago

Answer:

Monkeys have a prehensile tail that allows them to grab and hold onto tree branches - structural

Moose make mating calls to locate potential mates - behavioral

Whales are covered in a thick layer of blubber, insulating their bodies in cold ocean waters - structural

Humans have five toes on each foot to help them maintain balance - structural

Many birds migrate south for the winter in search of food - behavioral

Explanation:

The structural adaptations are adaptations that help the organisms to survive in their environment through development of physical traits that give them an advantage. Such adaptations are the thick layer of blubber of the whales, the five toes of the humans, prehensile tail of the monkeys, rotational toe of the clouded leopard, long of the giraffe etc. The behavioral adaptations are adaptations that help the organisms to survive in their environment, but they manifested through their actions, not their physical traits. Such adaptations are the mating calls of the moos, the migration of the birds in winter, the hibernation of the bears etc.

What advantages are there for larger organisms to subdivide themselves into cells
WINSTONCH [101]

Cell division occurs in all living organisms. This is known as mitosis.

The advantages of a larger organisms to subdivide themselves into smaller cells is that as all organisms grow, some of their cells die or get damaged with time and need replacements. So,it divides into smaller cells because when a cell becomes large, it demands more of cell places of its DNA. If the cell grows too large, it will have trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. So to grow properly the cells need to be divided.

Two species of frogs belonging to the same genus occasionally mate, but the offspring fail to develop and hatch. What is the mec
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The options

A. the postzygotic barrier called hybrid inviability

B. the postzygotic barrier called hybrid breakdown

C. the prezygotic barrier called hybrid sterility

D. gametic isolation

The CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. the postzygotic barrier called hybrid inviability

Explanation:

Postzygotic barrier is a mechanism that hinders reproduction after fertilization and zygote development. Hybrid inviability occurs when a mating between two organism produces a hybrid that can't strive past the embryonic stages.

In Reduced Hybrid Viability there is a lower tendency to survive for individuals whose parents possesses incompatible genetics, which may have result from sexual union of these parents from varying species.

These two frog species in this case study can be separated through the mechanism of the postzygotic barrier called hybrid inviability.
