Consider the following scenario:

A drought hits the habitat of a semi-aquatic bird population. All ponds dry up, and fish populations decline. There are two groups of birds in the population that differ in leg length and diet. Long-legged birds eat fish, while short-legged birds eat insects. The drought has little effect on insect populations.


What is the main selective pressure in this scenario?

which of the following events does not occur in spermatogenesis ​

Answers

Answer:

The mitochondria and Golgi apparatus are packaged into the head of the sperm.

Explanation:

Spermatogenesis is the production of male germ cells. Sufficient stimulation with sex hormones, especially testosterone, and a lower temperature, which is achieved by placing the testicles in the scrotum, are required for the correct course of spermatogenesis. Sperm production has three phases: reproductive, growth and maturation. At the beginning of sperm development are spermatogonia, which are male primordial cells. They have a spherical shape and are located at the edges of the seminal canals. Spermatogonia is mitotically divided. On the one hand, in order to preserve their numbers, and on the other hand, their division produces primary spermatocytes, which lie above the layer of spermatogonia. Primary spermatocytes are diploid, but after the first meiotic division, haploid secondary spermatocytes are formed from them. They still have double chromatids, so a second meiotic division soon occurs, the product of which is spermatids. Spermatids are already fully haploid and do not divide further. Spermatids then undergo a process of spermiogenesis, in which the nucleus condenses, forming a flagellum and losing most of the cytoplasm and some organelles. Immature sperm travel through the seed-forming canals to the epididymis, where they are definitively matured. This whole process takes about 72 days.

Explanation:

Sometimes it can be tricky to know whether or not a chemical reaction has occurred. For example, when you melt ice into water, you can write the process in terms of a chemical reaction. However, the chemical formula on both sides of the reaction is the same. Since the chemical identity of the matter in question is unchanged, this process represents a physical change.

Thus melting point is a physical property. On the other hand, flammability is a chemical property of matter because the only way to know how readily a substance ignites is to burn it. In the chemical reaction for combustion, the reactants and products are different.

Several examples of antisense RNA regulating translation in bacterial cells have been discovered. Molecular geneticists have also used antisense RNA to artificially control transcription in both bacterial and eukaryotic genes. To inhibit the transcription of a bacterial gene with antisense RNA, what sequence might the antisense RNA contain

Answers

Answer:

An antisense sequence with complementary to the target mRNA encoded by the gene of interest

Explanation:

An antisense sequence is usually a short RNA sequence specifically designed in the laboratory to bind by complementary to the DNA/RNA sequence of interest (usually a target mRNA) whose expression is desired to be inhibited. When an antisense bind to its target mRNA, the antisense sequence acts to block translation, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. Moreover, it has been shown that the double-stranded antisense-RNA complexes may also increase the susceptibility of the target sequence to RNase H digestion.

The production of red blood cells is regulated by a feedback loop involving erythropoietin. In non-disease states, the production of red blood cells is equal to the destruction of red blood cells, thus maintaining sufficient red blood cells to deliver adequate oxygen to the body's tissues. However, when the number of red blood cells decrease and oxygen levels are low, erythropoietin is produced by the liver and kidneys to increase the production of red blood cells. Is this a positive or negative feedback loop

Answers

Answer:

Negative feedback.

Explanation:

The production of erythropoietin by the liver and kidneys is a negative feedback because with the production of erythropoietin, our body tends to move to become more stable state. The erythropoietin is produced by the liver and kidneys to increase the production of red blood cells if the quantity of red blood cells are lower than the normal range. If the number of red blood cells are decreases the oxygen level in our body is low that leads to unstable condition of the body but when the concentration of red blood cells increases, the body move towards stability.

How did a famous event change the course of the American Revolutionary War? in essay form pls

Answers

Answer:

The American Revolution was a political battle that took place between 1765 and 1783 during which colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies rejected the British monarchy and aristocracy, overthrew the authority of Great Britain, and founded the United States of America. See the fact file below for more information and American Revolution facts.

-The American Revolution, also known as the Revolutionary War, began in 1775.

-British soldiers and American patriots started the war with battles at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts.Colonists in America wanted independence from England.

-The British government attempted to pass some laws, enforce several taxes, and increase more control over the colonies.

-The colonies strongly objected to these laws and taxes.

-They wanted England to have no control over them.

-For ten years before the war actually started, there was a lot of tension between England and the colonies.

-The colonies had no central government at the beginning of the war, so delegates from all the colonies were sent to form the first Continental Congress.

-George Washington, a former military officer and wealthy Virginian, was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army.

-Members of the Continental Congress wrote a letter to King George of England outlining their complaints and declaring their independence from England.

-On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, in which the colonies declared their independence from England.

-The war ended in 1783, and the United States of America was born.

What effect does planting trees and bushes on a steep hill have?



A- It makes the hill a good habitat for animals.

B- It provides oxygen to the soil.

C- Over time, it will help the hill grow taller.

D- It helps stop erosion.

Answers

Answer:

D- It helps stop erosion.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion. Other factors that affect the rate of erosion in an area include the following; farm management, rainfall, climate, soil type, soil cover, landscape, type of wave, crops, rock strength and position of coast.

In order to mitigate or stop the rate of erosion in an environment, trees and bushes should be planted on a steep hill because they will obstruct the free flow of water, as well as absorbing it.
