Jaguars are a keystone species in the Amazon. Describe how they can be so essential to the ecosystem despite
being significantly less abundant than many other species.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

jaguars are keystone species because they feed herbivorous species that might decimate the plants of the ecosystem

Explanation:

Keynote species are species that help to maintain the homeostasis of the ecosystem so if they lack then the ecosystem would change drastically. Moreover, a top predator is a predator that occupies the highest trophic level in the food chain. Jaguars are both keystone species and top predators that feed herbivorous species, maintaining the health of the food chain by eliminating the excess of primary consumers that otherwise would feed too many plants (i.e., primary producers) which produce and store energy at the bottom of the food chain.

Answers

Answer:

La reproducción sexual consisten en la unión de dos gametos uno femenino y otro masculino, para formar un nuevo individuo con características provenientes de ambos progenitores. Los gametos son células especializadas que se forman por un proceso meiótico y tienen en su núcleo la mitad de la información genética de un organismo, por lo que reciben el nombre de células haploides de manera que cuando se une sus cromosomas se forman células diploides característico de la especie. La característica más importante de este tipo de reproducción es la variación genética que implica que los descendientes tengan características de sus dos progenitores, por lo que son diferentes a ellos. El proceso en el que se une las células sexuales se le conoce como fecundación. En los animales esta pude ser interna o externa.

Explanation:

Los gametos (óvulos y espermatozoides) son células germinales especializadas que se desarrollan a partir de un proceso llamado gametogénesis (espermatogénesis en machos y ovogénesis en hembras). El proceso de gametogénesis implica un tipo de división celular llamado 'meiosis' donde la cantidad de cromosomas se reduce a la mitad. En humanos, el número cromosómico diploide (2n) de 46 cromosomas se reduce a un número haploide (n) de 23 cromosomas. La fecundación es el proceso por el cual los gametos se fusionan durante la reproducción sexual para producir un cigoto diploide. En la reproducción sexual, el aumento de la variación genética en la progenie es un resultado de tres procesos diferentes: la unión aleatoria entre gametos durante la fecundación, la distribución independiente de los cromosomas durante la gametogénesis y el entrecruzamiento (recombinación o crossing over) entre cromátidas de cromosomas homólogos durante la meiosis. Finalmente, en animales, la fecundación puede ser interna, la cual se produce mediante la unión de los gametos dentro del cuerpo de la hembra (por ejemplo, gallina, leona, cebra, etc.), o fecundación externa, donde la fusión de gametos se produce en el ambiente externo (por ejemplo en peces, sapos, ranas, etc.).

In North America, the eastern spotted skunk mates
in late winter, and the western spotted skunk mates
in late summer. Even though their geographic
ranges overlap, the species do not mate with each
other. What most likely prevents these two species
from interbreeding?
A. habitat isolation
B. gametic isolation
C. geographic isolation
D. reproductive isolation

Answers

The answer is gonna be B

Reproductive isolation is a mechanism through which species do not get to interbreed. Option D. reproductive isolation

What is reproductive isolation?

This is a mechanism through which different species or populations do get to mate and produce fertile offspring. This mechanism allows the accumulation of genetic differences and favors speciation.

There are different barriers that inhibit or interrupt the genetic flow between different species.

Reproductive barriers prevent mating between two or more species. There are two types of barriers,

prezygotic ⇒ that avoids fertilization between individuals of different species, postzygotic ⇒ that impedes the zygote to develope and reach the adult stage.

Pre-copulatory o pre-ziygotic:

• Ecological or by habitat isolation;

Seasonal or temporal;

• Séxual o ethologic;

• Mechanic;

• Gametes incompatibility.

Postzygotic mechanisms or barriers include

• Hybrid inviability,

• Hybrid sterility,

• Cytoplasmic interactions.

In the exposed example occurs a seasonal difference between the mating period of the eastern spotted skunk and the western spotted skunk.

Probably, if both of them would mate during the same season and in the same area, they could reproduce.

However, since their mating season differs, individuals from each species do not get to cross and hence, produce fertile offspring.

Option D. reproductive isolation is what most likely prevents these two species from interbreeding

Explanation:

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true of depurination (DP), deamination (DA), or pyrimidine dimer formation (DF). A given statement may be true of any, all, or none of these processes. This process is caused by spontaneous hydrolysis of a glycosidic bond. This process is induced by ultraviolet light. This can happen to guanine but not to cytosine. This can happen to thymine but not to adenine. This can happen to thymine but not to cytosine. Repair involves a DNA glycosylase. Repair involves an endonuclease. Repair involves DNA ligase. Repair depends on the existence of separate copies of the genetic information in the two strands of the double helix. Repair depends on cleavage of both strands of the double helix.

Answers

Answer:

- This process is caused by spontaneous hydrolysis of a glycosidic bond: depurination and deamination

- This process is induced by ultraviolet light:  pyrimidine dimer formation

- This can happen to guanine but not to cytosine: depurination

- This can happen to thymine but not to adenine:  pyrimidine dimer formation

- This can happen to thymine but not to cytosine: none

- Repair involves a DNA glycosylase: deamination

- Repair involves an endonuclease: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

- Repair involves DNA ligase: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

-  Repair depends on the existence of separate copies of the genetic information in the two strands of the double helix: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

- Repair depends on cleavage of both strands of the double helix: none

Explanation:

Depurination is the loss of purine bases (either adenine or guanine), while deamination refers to the removal of an amino group. During depurination, a β-N-glycosidic bond is cleaved by hydrolysis and a nucleic base is released (either adenine or guanine). All DNA bases may undergo deamination, except thymine (since thymine does not have an amino group). The ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause thymine or cytosine to form dimers (e.g., pyrimidine dimers), being thymine dimers the most common lesion when DNA is exposed to UV light. Pyrimidine dimers may be repaired by different excision mechanisms, e.g., nucleotide excision repair, where the recognition of the DNA damage leads to the removal of the DNA fragment containing the lesion. DNA glycosylases are enzymes involved in the mechanism of base excision, these enzymes recognize and remove damaged bases by hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond, producing an abasic (apurinic and apyrimidinic) site. A DNA ligase enzyme covalently joins two DNA molecules by forming a phosphodiester bond, which is required during these processes.

The service box is an area on the court that 1 point the person serving must stand in. the ball must land in to be a playable serve. the person returning the serve must be standing in before a server can serve ​

Answers

Answer:

Both players on the serving doubles team have the opportunity to serve and score points until they commit a fault *(except for the first service sequence of each new game).

The first serve of each side-out is made from the right-hand court.

If a point is scored, the server switches sides and the server initiates the next serve from the left-hand court.

As subsequent points are scored, the server continues switching back and forth until a fault is committed and the first server loses the serve.

When the first server loses the serve the partner then serves from their correct side of the court (except for the first service sequence of the game*).

The second server continues serving until his team commits a fault and loses the serve to the opposing team.

Once the service goes to the opposition (at side out), the first serve is from the right-hand court and both players on that team have the opportunity to serve and score points until their team commits two faults.

In singles the server serves from the right-hand court when his or her score is even and from the left when the score is odd.

how is a trait passed down from parents to offspring USE OWN WORDS

Answers

A trait is a characteristic, such as color or size, that is inherited by an offspring from its parents. The genes that control a trait come in pairs, one gene from each parent. We represent these gene pairs by writing a combination of two letters. For example, if one parent contributes a gene for blue eyes (c), and other parent contributes a gene for brown eyes(C), then we write the offspring’s eye color trait as Cc. This combination, of the two genes that determine the trait, is called a genotype. If gene pair contains a dominant allele, the the offspring will show this dominant trait
