As a naturalist, you are responsible for training volunteers in the identification of the types of amphibians. The volunteers will use this information to correctly describe the animals to school groups that will visit your nature center. The training documentation for the volunteers lists important characteristics of the different groups of amphibians, but you notice that one of the items on the list is incorrect. Indicate which description is not correct.
A. Frogs, toads, and most salamanders have four legs whereas caecilians are legless.
B. While some frogs may advertise their distasteful nature by bright coloration, salamanders always have cryptic coloration.
C. Some adult salamanders retain larval characteristics such as external gills.
D. Most caecilians can be found burrowing in the soil of tropical forests.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. While some frogs may advertise their distasteful nature by bright coloration, salamanders always have cryptic coloration.

Explanation:

Amphibians are vertebrates which can live both on land and in water. they are cold-blooded and therefore, depend on warmth from sunlight to become warm and active. Their young live fully in water respire using gills. The adults have moist skins through which they respire and therefore, live in moist places or near water to keep their bodies from drying out. Many adult amphibians also have poison-producing glands in their skin to ward off predators. Poisonous amphibians usually display a warning coloration. . The species in this group include frogs, toads, salamanders, caecilians and newts.

Considering the above descriptions:

A. Frogs, toads, and most salamanders have four legs whereas caecilians are legless.

True: Caecilians are a group of limbless, wormlike or serpentine amphibians that mostly live in underground burrows or in substratum of shallow streams.

B. While some frogs may advertise their distasteful nature by bright coloration, salamanders always have cryptic coloration.

False: Some frogs such as poison frogs as well as some salamanders such as the California newt and the red eft which a brightly colored terrestrial juvenile form of the eastern newt is highly poisonous. advertise their distasteful nature by bright coloration.

C. Some adult salamanders retain larval characteristics such as external gills.

True: Some adult salamanders retain larval characteristics such as external gills. e.g. species such as the mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) retain their gills throughout their lives.

D. Most caecilians can be found burrowing in the soil of tropical forests.

True: Caecilians are a group of limbless, wormlike or serpentine amphibians that mostly live in underground burrows or in substratum of shallow streams.

Antibodies are composed of two types of peptides, heavy chains and light chains. One of the major classes of antibody molecules is immunoglobulin G (IgG). Two heavy chains and two light chains form one IgG molecule. Classify each statement as describing the heavy chains, light chains, or both chains of IgG

a. form the antigen-binding site
b. contain multiple variable domains
c. are found in the Fab fragment
d. are found in the FC fragment
e. contain only one constant domain
f. contain multiple constant domains
g. contain only one variable domain

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. form the antigen-binding site ⇒ both chains

The antigen-binding site is formed by one hypervariable region of the light chain (VL) and one hypervariable region of the heavy chain (VH). So, both type of chains contributes to antigen recognition.

b. contain multiple variable domains ⇒ none

Both chains - light and heavy - contain only one variable domain (VL and VH).  

c. are found in the Fab fragment ⇒ both chains

The Fab fragment is composed of portions of both light and heavy chains: each portion contains one variable domain and one constant domain. The Fab fragment binds specifically the antigen.  

d. are found in the FC fragment ⇒ heavy chains

The Fc region is composed of portions of heavy chains (CH² and CH³), so it contains constant domains.  

e. contain only one constant domain ⇒ light chains

Each light chain contains one variable domain (VL) and one constant domain (CL).  

f. contain multiple constant domains ⇒ heavy chains

Each heavy chain contains three constant domains: CH¹, CH² and CH³.  

g. contain only one variable domain ⇒ both chains

Both light and heavy chains contain one variable domain. The difference is given by the number of constant domains: light chains have 1 constant domain while heavy chains have 3 constant domains.

What is most likely to happen if predators are introduced to an ecosystem with no known predators?(1 point) An increase in species migration. An increase in species differentiation. A decrease in species evolution. A decrease in species abundance.

Answers

Answer:

A decrease in species abundance.

Explanation:

(this was correct- connections academy)

if predators are introduced to an ecosystem with no known predators there is a decrease in species abundance.

What is the role of predators in the ecosystem?

Predators are an important part of a balanced ecosystem. Predators remove vulnerable prey, such as the old, injured, sick, or very young, leaving more food for the survival and success of healthy prey animals.

Also, by controlling the size of prey populations, predators help slow down the spread of disease.

Thus, if predators are introduced to an ecosystem with no known predators there is a decrease in species abundance.

Two rough black guinea pigs when bred together have two offspring. One of them is rough white and the other is smooth black. What are the genotypes of these parents?

Parent 1 __________ Parent 2 ___________

Answers

Answer:

Parent 1 = RrBb

Parent 2 = RrBb

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pigs. The allele for rough coat (R) is dominant to smooth coat (r), and the allele for black coat (B) is dominant to white coat (b).

According to this question, two rough black guinea pigs when bred together produced two offsprings. One of the offsprings is rough white (R_bb) and the other is smooth black (rrB_). This means that, to produce such offsprings, the parents must be both heterozygous for both genes (RrBb). Please find the punnet square for this cross attached

Rock pocket mice live in the deserts of the American southwest. Ancestral pocket mice all had light-colored coats that blended in

A. Insulator, semiconductor, conductor
B. Conductor, semiconductor, insulator
c. Semiconductor, insulator, conductor
O D. Semiconductor, conductor, insulator

Answers

The correct option that lists materials in order by their ability to allow the flow of electrons, from least easily to most easily, is Insulator, Semiconductor, and Conductor, which is in Option A.

What are an electron, an insulator, etc.?

The ability of a material to conduct electricity depends on the number of free electrons that are available to move through the material. In an insulator, there are very few free electrons, which means that the material does not conduct electricity very well. Insulators are typically used to prevent the flow of electricity, for example, in electrical wiring, where plastic or rubber coatings are used to insulate the copper wires.

Hence, the correct option that lists materials in order by their ability to allow the flow of electrons, from least easily to most easily, is Insulator, Semiconductor, and Conductor, which is in Option A.
