A population of tree frogs lives in an area that has many types of plants and trees. The skin of most of the frogs is gray, which blends in better with the bark of trees than with the leaves of plants. Some of the frogs have skin that is greener in color, which blends in better with grasses and leaves. Snakes and birds are predators of the frog. Humans have come to the area and are beginning to cut down the trees. Describe the probability of survival for the three frogs of each genetic variation of skin colour if most of the trees are cut down. Use evidence in the paragraph to support your answer.
Answer:
with the normal natural predators their chances of survival are high but when humans step in entire forests can be wiped out which will endanger every species of frog
If most trees are cut down, grey individuals will not survive because they will be more exposed to predation. Green frogs will show a greater survival rate. Directional selection is favoring the green phenotype and its genotype.
What is directional selection?
Directional selection is one of the different types of natural selection.
It increases the proportion of individuals with an extreme phenotypic trait.
It causes a decrease in the number of individuals expressing intermediate phenotype, and the other extreme phenotype.
This selection presents more frequently in those cases in which interactions between living organisms and the environment modify in the same direction.
In the exposed example, there is a natural environmental pressure: predation. Frogs need to camouflage to avoid being seen by birds and snakes.
Most frogs are grey. They camouflage with the bark of treesSome other frogs are green. They camouflage with the grass and leaves.The curve in a graph frequency vs phenotype shows a higher frequency of gray individuals.
When humans cut down the trees, they are applying another pressure to the population.
Since humans remove trees, grey frogs remain without a substrate in which to camouflage. They are now exposed to predation.
Birds and snakes can detect the gray frogs better and prey on them.
The grey phenotype and its genotype are affecting the animals' fitness. Grey frogs do not get to survive. So natural selection does not favor it.
Natural selection tends to benefit the green phenotype, which is now the one that increases the frogs' fitness. Green animals are not seen by predators, so they get to survive.
The curve in a graph frequency vs phenotype now shows a higher frequency of green individuals and a sharp decrease of grey frogs.
If more trees are cut down, grey individuals will not survive. However, green frogs will show a greater survival rate.
Directional selection is favoring the green phenotype and its genotype.

Some species form social groups only with members of the same gender. For example, elephants form groups with only females and their offspring. Once the male offspring reach a certain age, they leave the group and become solitary.
Which is a benefit of this type of social group structure?
Females do not have to compete for a mate.
Male offspring can belong to more than one social group.
Adult males can mate with females in several different social groups.
Females are the only ones responsible for taking care of the offspring.
Answer:
Females do not have to compete for a mate.
Explanation:
Due to grouping of animals, females do not have to compete for a mate because each group has its own male. They have a male with which she mate and produce fertile offspring and has a complete family so we can say that the benefit of such type of social group structures is that females do not have to compete for a mate in the population as compared to other animals.
Answer:
A. female's do not have to compete for mates.
Explanation:
Ecological succession
a) The first organisms that appear in an area after it has been disturbed

A certain stem cell produces only muscle cells. What kind of stem cell is this?
A. Pluripotent
B. Unipotent
C. Totipotent
D. Multipotent
the answer is (B. Unipotent)
Answer:
B) unipotent
Explanation:
Unipotent stem cells come from multipotent stem cells which can only become a few different cell types. Unipotent stem cells can be programmed to be only a specific cell type. They will only follow that one genetic path, thus the name "uni".

Which product forms from the reaction between nitrogen (N)
(CI)?
A. NCI
B. NCI
C. N2CI
O D. N2C1
Answer:
None of the above
Explanation:
Because as N has the valence of 3 when it reacts with Cl of 1 as valence they will form NCl3Answer:
The product of the reaction between nitrogen (N) and (CL) is nitrogen trichloride (NCl3)
Explanation:
Although by seeing the question's answer choices, I think it was an error to detect the question (image) by Brainly as 2 of the answers is written the same.
However, when nitrogen gas reacts with chlorine gas, the product is gaseous nitrogen trichloride (NCL3), I guess 1 of your answer must be NCL3.
The density of a white dwarf is
Answer:
The density of a white dwarf is 1 x 109 kg/m3.
Explanation:
A typical white dwarf is half as massive as the Sun, yet only slightly bigger than Earth. An Earth-sized white dwarf has a density of 1 x 109 kg/m3. Earth itself has an average density of only 5.4 x 103 kg/m3. That means a white dwarf is 200,000 times as dense.
1 x 10⁹ kg/m³ is the density of white dwarf. It is 200000 times denser than Earth. And it is the second densest object we know after neutron star.

In an example food chain, rabbits only eat plants.
Which type of consumer are the rabbits?
plants and algae. These organisms are called primary consumers or herbivores. Some examples are rabbits, deer, tadpoles, and caterpillars. organisms are called secondary consumers.
Answer:
Herbivores
Explanation:
A rabbit is very close to the bottom and they are ‘consumers’. They are herbivores, meaning that they mainly eat plant matter. They are also prey animals so larger animals capture and eat them.

what type of limiting factor affects a large population more than it affects a small population?
Answer:
density dependent limiting factor
Explanation:
An object is placed at 0 on a number line. It moves 3 units to the right, then 4 units to the left, and then 6 units to the right. What is the displacement of the object?
Answer:
5
Explanation:
Distance is how far something goes and Displacement is how far it is from 0 or from the starting point. Additionally, displacement is a vector so it has a direction, in this case, left or right. To make this shorter let's just find displacement. So you're at 0 and you go 3 units to the right and so you're at positive 3 on the line. Next, you move 4 units to the left so now you're at -1. Finally, you move 6 units to the right and now you're at postive 5. Now you're +5 units away from 0 and so +5 is your displacement (5 units to the right is also correct)
Answer: +5 units or 5 units to the right (as long as it has a sign or a direction it's correct)
Based on the graph, which of these conclusions is correct? (2 points)
a
Heat is not added in portions BC and DE.
b
Heat is not added in portions AB and CD.

Case Ico-delete Highlights
A 42-year-old woman presents for an evaluation of back pain. She states that she has a history of recurrent UTIs; she notes that on occasion her urine appears red. Upon physical examination, she demonstrates CVA tenderness. Her vital signs include blood pressure of 145/90 mm Hg, respiratory rate of 16 breaths/min, and heart rate of 72 bpm. Urinalysis shows leukocyte esterase 1+, protein trace, and blood 3+. The microscopic examination reveals 5-10 WBCs/hpf and 20-30 RBCs/hpf. An abdominal ultrasound demonstrates multiple, bilateral fluid collections within the kidneys.
Question
What, if any, is the most likely underlying renal pathology?
Answer:
The correct answer would be - polycystic kidney disease.
Explanation:
The given clinical picture or information suggests that it is most probably an infection that takes place in one or both the kidneys and leads to the setting of polycystic kidney disease.
The given symptoms such as abdominal or flank pain, recurrent UTIs, blood in the urine, and hypertension are characteristic symptoms of polycystic kidney disease. Cystic lesions found on abdominal ultrasound are a confirmation of the disorder.
The key disease of this polycystic disorder is Goodpasture syndrome which shows symptoms of both glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhages, and medullary sponge kidney disorder.
