Island arthropods decrease as the reptile population increases.
Island arthropods and reptiles both increase in the island habitat.

Question 6

Which statement describes a factor in the island biogeographical model?

Dispersing species are more likely to find smaller secluded habitats
Smaller populations are less likely to go extinct
Large islands have less available niches for immigrating species
Islands closer to the mainland have greater colonization

Question 7


Which of the following ideas helps explain the factors that affect island colonization of and species richness for a region?


Species-area effect
Rescue effect
Target effect
Time/stability hypothesis
I and II
II and III
I, II, IV
I, II, III, IV

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ecological tolerance refers to the ability of an organism, or animal to be able to adapt and survive changing environmental conditions.

The combination of factors that would result in an island community with the lowest ecological tolerance would be option B Introduction of invasive species, increased deforestation because with the introduction of invasive species, there would be more competition for natural resources such as food, water, sunlight; and with increased deforestation, there is greater chances of soil erosion.

Insular biogeography or island biogeography is a field within biogeography that examines the factors that affect the species richness and diversification of isolated natural communities. The theory was originally developed to explain the pattern of the species–area relationship occurring in oceanic islands.

The reptile population decreases as arthropods decrease with their habitat

Migrating species are more likely to find larger habitats over smaller ones. Explanation: The concept of island biogeographical model establishes that larger islands and habitats will have a larger number of species than a smaller island. Larger islands have more tendency to attract new species.The species–area relation, whereby the number of species in a spatial unit increases with that unit’s area, well predates the MacArthur and Wilson theory of island biogeography, having been documented for about 150 years. Two general kinds of models for this relation have been proposed. The first has number of species predicted from an assumed species–abundance distribution and the total number of individuals of all species combined (assumed proportional to area). The second develops species–area relations from MacArthur and Wilson’s species-equilibrium approach.

On a scratch sheet of paper, complete the Punnett square of the cross between two heterozygous red-eyed flies (Rr). What color eyes will the offspring have?

Answers

Answer:

75% red, 25% other color (brown?)

Explanation:

A cross between two heterozygous red eye flies (Rr x Rr)

                     R                     r

R                  RR                   Rr

r                   Rr                   rr

The possible genotypes are RR, Rr, and rr. There are two possibilities of Rr.

Since the heterozygotes have red eyes, the red eye allele must be dominant. Therefore, RR and Rr genotypes will all have red eyes. That means 3/4 (75%) of offspring will have red eyes. 1/4 25% are h0m0zygous recessive (rr), and will therefore have the other eye color (question doesn't mention which colour this is, it is likely brown)

Explain how heat can be a source of water pollution.

Answers

Answer:

Decreases amount of available oxygen in water causing some fish to decay because of the lack of oxygen.

Explanation:

Heat boosts fish metabolism and lowers water's ability to hold dissolved oxygen, making it a water pollutant. Low-dissolved oxygen water kills game fish like trout.

Why is heat a source of water pollution?

The ability of water to keep dissolved oxygen in solution is reduced when heat is present, and fish have a faster metabolic rate when heat is present. For these reasons, heat is regarded to be a pollutant in water. In waters with exceptionally low concentrations of dissolved oxygen, game fish such as trout and other valuable species simply are unable to live.

The release of warm water into existing bodies of water is referred to as thermal pollution. Thermal or nuclear power plants, industrial effluents such as petroleum refineries, pulp and paper mills, chemical plants, steel mills and smelters, and sewage effluents, as well as biochemical activity, are the primary contributors to thermal heat pollution. Other contributors include biochemical activity.

There are two continents with an ocean between them. Today, the continents have very different plants and animals on them. However, a geologist found fossils of the same type of organism on both continents. Millions of years ago, when this type of organism was alive, we know it lived in only one place. The geologist is using the fossils as evidence to argue that the two continents used to be touching. How could the continents have gotten so far apart, and how long did it take for this to happen?

Answers

Answer:

The continents could have gotten so far because of plate tectonic movement. We know that the plates are always moving so if these plates were very active then it would have caused supercontinent pangea to drift apart. This process must have taken more than a million years to happen.

Answer:

The answer is A diffusion

The process which is illustrated in the given picture shown by water molecules is that of diffusion.

What is diffusion?

Diffusion is defined as the process of movement of molecules which takes place under concentration gradient. It helps in movement of substances in and out from the cell.The molecules move from lower concentration region to a higher concentration region till the concentration becomes equal.

There are 2 main types of diffusion:

1) simple diffusion-process in which substances move through a semi-permeable membrane without the aid of transport proteins.

2) facilitated diffusion- It is a passive movement of molecules across cell membrane from higher concentration region to lower concentration.

There are 2 types of facilitated diffusion one is osmosis and dialysis.
