You are a researcher interested in a rare, highly endangered bird species that lives in a very remote area of the Amazonian rainforest. Almost nothing is currently known about this species’ diet, behavior, life-span, breeding system, or its interactions with other species. Use your knowledge of the definition of ecology, the scales at which ecological research is conducted, and experimental design.
1. Which ecological level (or levels) would you focus on in your research? Justify why you would choose this level (or levels), and explain why you would not choose the others.
2. Would you use an observational, experimental, or modeling approach to study this rare bird species? Why would the approach you chose be a better choice than the others for your study?
Answer:
- Ecological levels to consider in this study: organism, population and community
- Approach: I would use an observational approach to study this bird species
Explanation:
The levels of the ecological organization include the organism, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere (from simplest to most complex). In this exploratory study, it is imperative to consider: 1-morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations of the bird species (i.e., organismal-level), 2- size/density/structure of the bird population (i.e., population-level), and 3-interactions between bird population and other populations (i.e., community-level). The higher ecological levels, i.e., ecosystem-level (relationships between the community and abiotic factors ) and biosphere-level (biosphere = planet Earth), can be in this case disregarded because this study is centered on a focus bird species. Moreover, it is expected to apply an observational strategy because nothing is currently known about the focus bird species. The experimental and modeling approaches seem more suitable to test a particular hypothesis being discussed (it is not the case for this study).

During mammalian embryogenesis, the first differentiation event that occurs leads to a polarization of the outer cells of the 16-cell morula. This outer layer of cells forms the trophectoderm and the inner, apolar clump of cells become the inner cell mass. The inner cell mass will give rise to:
Answer:
the entire embryo
Explanation:
The trophectoderm refers to the polarized single cell layer that forms the wall of the blastocyst, thereby forming the first epithelium during embryogenesis. Moreover, the blastocyst is composed of 1-an inner cell mass (ICM) which will form all the tissues of the embryo's body, and 2-an outer layer composed of cells collectively called the trophoblast. The ICM of the blastocyst will form the embryoblast (which subsequently will give rise to the embryo itself) and the fetus, while the trophoblast will form all of the supporting tissues (i.e., amniotic sac, placenta, and umbilical cord). In humans, the blastocyst is the developmental stage of the embryo on day 5 after fertilization.

disturbance destroying an area through the climax of ecological succession
Answer:
hope this helps
secondary succession
Explanation:
Large, low intensity disturbances, such as plowing in conventional agriculture, result in moderate amounts of succession, where species can survive in the soil and quickly recolonize areas after a disturbance. This type of succession is often called secondary succession

Which statement correctly describes a feature of the rock cycle?
O Rocks are preserved through the process.
O Rocks change from one type to another.
O Different rock groups are not related to one another.
O Rocks change from one type to another in a specific order.
Answer:
The correct description of a feature of the rock cycle is:
O Rocks change from one type to another.
Explanation:
Sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks are the three main rock types. Together, they form the universal rock cycle. A sedimentary rock, for example, can change from its known state to another state by passing through crystallization, metamorphism, erosion, and sedimentation. There are no specific orders for the change. The processes that they pass through determine the resulting type.
Answer:
Rocks change from one type to another.
Explanation:
Which of the following is true about the coasts of North and South America? O A. Little industry is located along the coasts, B. There are few cities and the population is sparse. O c. A majority of the population is located there. D. People go to the coasts only when on vacation,
Answer:
The correct answer is C. In North and South America, a majority of the population is located on the coasts.
Explanation:
Historically, the vast majority of civilizations have sought to establish their urban centers around bodies of water, be they rivers or seas, that allow them a rapid expansion outward as well as channels through which to channel trade. Thus, it can be seen how throughout the world and especially the American continent, large cities and population centers are located primarily on the coasts. Examples of this situation are Vancouver in Canada, New York and Los Angeles in the United States, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or Buenos Aires in Argentina.
g Neuron A and neuron B interact with neuron C. Neuron A will produce an IPSP of -2mV in neuron C; neuron B produce an EPSP of 3mV in neuron C. The resting membrane potential is -70mV and the threshold is -50mV. Neuron A fires 6 times rapidly at the same time that neuron B fires 4 times rapidly. What is the resulting membrane potential in neuron C
Answer:
-70 mV
Explanation:
Given that Neuron A and Neuron B interact with Neuron C
Neuron A produces ; - 2mV of IPSP and fires 6 times
Neuron B produces ; 3mV of EPSP and fires 4 times
Resting potential = - 70mV
threshold = - 50mV
The resulting membrane potential in neuron C
= -70 + 6(-2) + 4(3)
= -70 - 12 + 12 = -70 mV

Rinderpest (a virus) has high mortality in wildebeest (a kind of herbivore), especially in young animals. From the early 1960s, after the elimination of a virus called rinderpest, the wildebeest population has increased dramatically from 1958 to 1978. The elimination of rinderpest impacted the wildebeest population. What type of factor is rinderpest
Answer:
density-dependent, top-down factor
Explanation:
In biology, limiting factors are resources and other conditions in the environment whose presence/availability limit the population growth rate. Density-dependent factors refer to the conditions whose effects on the size/growth of the population vary depending on the population density. Some examples of density-dependent factors include diseases, competition, and predation, etc. These factors can exhibit a positive or negative correlation with the population size. Moreover, bottom-up population control (species limitation by resources) refers to limitations placed by resources allowing growth (e.g., food source or habitat), while top-down population control (limitation by enemies), refers to limitations placed by factors that control the death rate in the population (e.g., predation or diseases).

Can someone tell me if this is correct I need help with the percentage
Answer:
Hand = 75%
No hand = 25%
Explanation:
It's the same thing as last time. Since 3 of them are heterozygous and have 1 dominant allele, they have the dominant trait. And since one of them only has recessive alleles then it should have the recessive traits.
So the hand should have 75% and no hand has 25%.
( I saw someone else just post a link so I answered it in that question box, but it got deleted so i'm just writing it out here ig)
birth defects due to radiation are a concern also. why is a fetus especially at risk?
Of the babies that survive, however, few will have birth defects related to the exposure, regardless of how much radiation they were exposed to. Large radiation doses to the fetus during the more sensitive stages of development (between weeks 2 and 18 of pregnancy) can cause birth defects, especially to the brain.

1) Define biodiversity in your own words:
2) Why is biodiversity important?
Answer:
Explanation:
1.) Biodiversity is variety in an ecosystem and the living things inside of it. It means all the different species and creatures that live on the planet.
2.) Biodiversity is important because it provides vital ecosystem functions such as soil fertilization, nutrient recycling, pest and disease regulation, erosion control, and crop and tree pollination. Each species ina n ecosystem has a role to play.
According to the diagram how are the three components
of a nucleotide important to the structure of DNA?
Answer:
A nucleotide of DNA is made up of three parts: a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine.
The phosphate group linked with deoxyribose sugar to make the framework for the nitrogenous bases. The phosphate group and sugar molecule make the DNA backbone and support it. These backbones hold nitrogenous bases and make a monomer of DNA. Nitrogenous bases make DNA stable and hold both backbones together. These bases also make DNA functional.
What is Climate Change?
Explain your answer.
What is Climate Change?
Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place.
How it helps us:
Studying the climate helps us predict how much rain the next winter might bring, or how far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures. ... We can also see which regions are most likely to be affected by extreme weather, or which wildlife species are threatened by climate change.
How it works:
As the earth's atmosphere heats up, it collects, retains, and drops more water, changing weather patterns and making wet areas wetter and dry areas drier. Higher temperatures worsen and increase the frequency of many types of disasters, including storms, floods, heat waves, and droughts.
How it affects us:
Human health is vulnerable to climate change. The changing environment is expected to cause more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and diseases transmitted by insects and rodents. Extreme weather events can compound many of these health threats.

the fertilization of ovules from plant Q by pollen from plant R results in the productions of seeds. What percent of the genes in each offspring's chloroplasts wioll have been inherited from plant R
Answer:
The correct answer is - zero or 0%.
Explanation:
The fertilization in flowering plants takes place by fusing the pollen of one plant or flower with the ovum of another plant or flower of the same species normally and form a zygote. The zygote gets an equal amount of genetic material from both parent plants by the process f exchange of the genetic material.
The ovum or the egg cell of the plant is considered as the mother and the mother is responsible for the chloroplast And mitochondria of the progeny so in this case, the ovum and egg cell comes from the only plant Q thus, the percentage of chloroplast genes provided via Plant R is 0%.

You are a botanist looking at the plant color in a new breed of Snapdragon. The two parent plants are Blue and Green and when you cross them you make F1 plants that are Cyan in color (a light aqua color). The ratio of offspring is as follows: There were 42 plants with Blue flowers (R1), 39 plants with Green flowers (R2) and 86 plants with Cyan flowers. Is the number of your progeny consistent with a single-gene incomplete dominance inheritance pattern
Answer:
Incomplete dominance is the inheritance pattern where the dominant allele did not mask the recessive allele completely and form a mix of both alleles. Here the inheritance is the incomplete inheritance. The ratio of F2 generation is 1:2:1.
Given:
R1R1 = 42
R2R2 = 39
R1R2 = 86
Total R1 alleles = 2*42+86 = 170
Total R2 alleles = 2*39+86 = 164
Total alleles = 334
Frequency of allele R1 = 170/334 = 0.51
Frequency of allele R2 = 164 / 334 = 0.49
Expected number of each phenotype:
Total population = 167
Blue = R1R1 = 0.51 * 0.51 * 167 = 43.44
Green = R2R2 = 0.49 * 0.49 * 167 = 40.10
Cyan = 2*R1*R2 = 2*0.51*0.49*167 = 83.46
Phenotype Observed(O) Expected (E) O-E (O-E)2 (O-E)2/E
Blue 42 43.44 -1.44 2.0736 0.0477
cyan 86 83.46 2.54 6.4516 0.0773
green 39 40.1 -1.1 1.2100 0.0302
Total 167 167 0.1552
Chi-square value = 0.155
Degrees of freedom = no. of phenotypes – 1
Df = 3-1 = 2
Critical value = 5.99
Chi-square value of 0.155 is less than the critical value of 5.99. So we accept the null hypothesis.
