The seven-spotted cockroach is a nocturnal species that burrows under leaf litter during the day.
The pattern on the exoskeleton of the adult seven-spotted cockroach is similar to that of the
carnivorous six-spotted ground beetle. This beetle has the ability to spray a chemical irritant at its
attackers. The mimicry of the ground beetle's pattern helps the seven-spotted cockroach survive
because it
О
A. is more visible at night
o B. can attract more potential mates
C. is less likely to be eaten by a predator
D. can better compete with beetles for food

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C. is less likely to be eaten by a predator.

Explanation:

The adult seven-spotted cockroach is the prey of various other insects including beetles so mimicking the pattern of a beetle would send a message that it is a beetle and because the chemical irritant that the beetle has makes it get avoided by others, the cockroach gets avoided by other insects too who don't want to be sprayed.

Of course this does not always work but it works for the most part and ensures the cockroach's survival.

A recessive allele for blue eyes (b) has a frequency of .3 in population 1 and a frequency of .15 in population 2. Pollution causes a number of people in population 1 to go to population 2. After they migrate 35% of the people in population 2 consist of people from population 1. What would be the frequency of blue eyes in population 2 after the migration

Answers

Answer:

The frequency of blue eyes in population 2 after the migration is q₂´ = 0.195 ≅ 0.2

Explanation:

Whenever migration, m, occurs between two populations, there is genetic flow going on. Genetic flow is an evolutive strength only if migration > 0 and if the allelic frequency in one generation is different from the allelic frequency in the next generation.

Genetic flow acts homogenizing the allelic frequencies between the two populations, and it might introduce variability into the new one.

For genetic flow to be possible, there needs not only the movement of the genes from one population to the other but also the reproduction process on the new population. Hence, it involves an interaction between the dispersion pattern and the reproductive system.

Available data:

Population 1 → frequency of the recessive allele b = 0.3Population 2 → frequency of the recessive allele b = 0.15m = proportion of gametes coming from the population 1  = 30% = 0.31-m = proportion of gametes that remain in the populationp = frequency of the dominant allele in population 1 before migrationq = frequency of the recessive allele in population 1 before migrationp´ = frequency of the dominant allele in population 2 after migrationq´ = frequency of the recessive allele in population 2 after migration

To calculate the frequencies of the gametes (p1, q1, p2, q2) after migration, we can use the following equations:

p₁’ = p₁ (1 - m) + p₂ x mq₁´ = q₁ (1 - m) + q₂ x mp₂’ = p₂ (1-m) + p₁ x m  q₂´ = q₂ (1 - m) + q₁ x m

So to know the frequency of blue eyes in population 2 after the migration, we just need to replace the terms in the equation for the given values, and then calculate q₂´.

q₂´ = q₂ (1 - m) + q₁ x m

q₂´ = 0.15 (1 - 0.03) + 0.3 x 0.3

q₂´ = 0.105 + 0.09    

q₂´ = 0.195 ≅ 0.2

Pablo’s blood type is B+ while his mother’s blood type is O-. Which are the potential blood types of his father?

Answers

Answer:

the father may be BB++ BB +- BO ++ or BO +-  

Explanation:

The blood type is a monogenic inherited trait that has three different alleles: A and B alleles are dominant, while the O allele is recessive. Each parent donates one ABO allele to their offspring. On the other hand, the Rh factor single gene inherited trait that has two alleles: the Rh-negative (-) factor is recessive to the Rh positive (+). Each parent donates one Rh factor allele to their offspring. In this case, the mother has the genotype OO -- (recessive for both genes), while Pablo has a phenotype of B+ and a genotype BO+-  (i.e., Pablo is heterozygous for both genes). In consequence, the father may have the following genotypes: BB++ BB +- BO ++ or BO +-, from these combinations you could get a son with the genotype BO+- .

O Different rock groups are not related to one another.
O Rocks change from one type to another in a specific order.

Answers

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.

There are 150 Pakicetus in the population at present. Assume Charles had another mutation; this one at the B locus, to produce allele b. What is the gene frequency of allele b in the population if the population of Pakicetus reaches 100,000

Answers

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Let’s look at a different gene locus, we’ll call it B. The normal, wild type, the population was 100% BB. There are 150 Pakicetus in the population at present. Assume Charles had another mutation; this one at the B locus, to produce allele b. What is the gene frequency of allele b in the population if the population of Pakicetus reaches 100,000

answer : ≈ 1

Explanation:

Determine the Gene frequency of allele b

Population = 100,000

There are 150 Pakicetus in population i.e. 300 alleles at locus B

hence the frequency of b = 1/300 = 0.33%

Increase in population does not affect frequency of b ( HW equilibrium )

therefore the Gene frequency of allele b

= 0.33% * 0.33% * 100000 = 1.08

Most neighborhood streets are illuminated at night by streetlights. The streetlights are _____ and _____. Therefore, they are likely to be _____ by the competitive market. nonrival; excludable; underprovided nonrival; nonexcludable; underprovided rival; excludable; efficiently provided nonrival; nonexcludable; overprovided

Answers

Answer:

nonrival; nonexcludable; underprovided.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

A substitute product can be defined as a product that a consumer sees as an alternative to another product and as such would offer similar benefits or satisfaction to the consumer.

For substitute products (goods), the cross-price elasticity of demand is always positive because the demand of a product increases when the price of its close substitute (alternative) increases.

A nonexcludable good simply means that it's near impossible for a user to effectively exclude others from using the good. Thus, each and every individual have access and can use the goods.

Basically, all public goods such as streetlights are nonrival and nonexcludable goods.

Similarly, nonrival goods refer to goods that can be accessed, processed and consumed (used) by multiple consumers at a specific period of time.

Additionally, any good that is nonrival and nonexcludable is said to be a public good.

In this scenario, most neighborhood streets are illuminated at night by streetlights. The streetlights are nonrival and nonexcludable. Therefore, they are likely to be underprovided by the competitive market and this is generally considered to be a market failure.

Hence, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market.

This ultimately implies that, the demand of the consumer of these goods and services are not being met with the level of supply (output) required i.e the forces of demand and supply are not efficient in producing the level of output required by the economy. Some of the causes of market failure are imperfect information, monopoly, oligopoly, externalities, etc.

Humans and baboon have noses with nostrils that face downward, but many other primates have noses with nostrils that face out to the sides. Humans and baboons are also more closely related to each other than they are to primates with outward-facing nostrils. Therefore, the fact that both humans and baboons share the downward-facing nostril orientation is an example of

Answers

Answer:

a shared derived trait.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

Simply stated, a trait refers to the specific features or characteristics possessed by a living organism. It is essentially transferred from the parent of a living organism to her offspring and as such distinguishes him or her.

Heredity refers to the transfer of traits (specific characteristics) from the parent of a living organism to her offspring through sexual reproduction or asexual production. Some examples of hereditary traits are dimples, tongue rolling, baldness, weight, handedness, freckles, curly hair, hair color, blindness, complexion, height, etc.

All humans and baboons are created having noses with nostrils underneath i.e facing downwards but other primates such as platyrrhines have their nostrils facing sideways (face out to the side). Also, humans and baboons shared close similarities with each other when compared than they share with the primates having a outward-facing nostrils.

This ultimately implies that, both humans and baboons sharing the downward-facing nostril orientation is an example of a shared derived trait.

A shared derived trait can be defined as a trait or characteristic that is shared between two lineages and subsequently evolves leading up to a clade, which is a distinguishing feature from other species.
