Identify two specific populations that most likely increased in number after the mountain lion population decreased. Explain why.

Answers

Answer 1

Any change that occurs at any link of a trophic web will affect the other links. The two specific populations that most likely increased in number after the mountain lion population decreased are rabbits and deers.  

----------------------------

The trophic web is a relationship process between different organisms, through which occurs transference of energy. The ones placed at lower levels pass energy to the ones at the higher levels.

Organisms at each level feed on the preceding one and become food for the next one.

The first link corresponds to a producer organism -autotroph-.  

The following links are the consumers -heterotrophs-: herbivores and carnivores.

The last links are the decomposers that degrade organic matter from dead organisms.  

As it is a web, all organisms are equilibrated until a change occurs.

When the change affects any of the involved links, there can be a cascade effect on the web.

A change in a link population size (increasing or decreasing) will affect the superior links and the immediately anterior link.

Also, when two or more species are competing for the same source of food, a change in any of the population sizes will affect the other ones.

According to the provided trophic web, puma feeds on deer and rabbit.

Since puma was killed, their population size sharply decreased.

This fact followed the predator-prey cycle, in which the predator regulates the prey population size and vice-versa. When there is a decrease in the predator population size, the prey population increases in size because of the absence of their natural predators.

In the absence of puma, deer and rabbits increase their population size. They live in an environment with no predators and enough resources.

The number of individuals of each species increased, and the amount of food consumed increased too.

This change negatively affected grasses and grains, which were over-consumed. Also, crickets and mice were affected too because they compete for the same food source.

So, cascade effects would be as follows,

1) The decreased in the puma population size caused an increase in the deer and rabbit population size.

2) The increase in the deer and rabbit population size caused a decrease in the grains and grasses species population, because they were over consumed.

3) The decrease in grains and grasses caused a decrease in the cricket and mouse population, because they feed on the first ones, competing with deer and  rabbits for food.

The two specific populations that most likely increased in number after the mountain lion population decreased are rabbits and deers.

draw a flowchart showcasing the process of scientific learning .also mention a short description of each of the step in the chart. ​

Answers

Answer:

The scientific method is a system of exploring the world around us, asking and answering questions, and making predictions. Scientists use the scientific method because it is objective and based on evidence. A hypothesis is fundamental to the scientific method. A hypothesis can take the form of an explanation or a prediction. There are several ways to break down the steps of the scientific method, but it always involves forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and determining whether or not the hypothesis is correct. If the hypothesis is rejected, this does not mean the experiment was a failure. In fact, if you proposed a null hypothesis (the easiest to test), rejecting the hypothesis may be sufficient to state the results. Sometimes, if the hypothesis is rejected, you reformulate the hypothesis or discard it and then go back to the experimentation stage.

The process of scientific learning refers to the various steps via which one can examine and study our environment to understand it. Once understanding or know-how is achieved, then technology is said to have advanced further.

It starts with making observations. Now because of the limitation of our senses, it is important not to jump to conclusions. The next step is to form a hypothesis based on the observation madeWhen you have arrived at a hypothesis, you can now carry out a controlled experiment where you collect further data and reach conclusions based on the experimentIf the hypothesis is in line with your observation, you publish resultsIf the hypothesis is null, you also publish results, then review your hypothesis  and repeat the experiment

All the above require consistent documentation at each stage. Please see the attached image for the flowchart.

In meiosis, sister kinetochores are attached to the same pole of the cell during meiosis I, and sister chromatid cohesion is released during anaphase II. What would be the likely result if sister kinetochores were attached to different poles of the cell during meiosis I and sister chromatid cohesion was released during anaphase I

Answers

Answer:

sister chromatids would migrate to opposite poles in anaphase I

Explanation:

Kinetochores are multiprotein structures that establish the attachment of spindle microtubules to the chromatids during cell division (either mitosis or meiosis). Sister chromatid cohesion at the centromeres refers to the mechanism by which sister chromatids are paired and held together during meiosis I. This process (sister chromatid cohesion) is fundamental to ensure the correct orientation of chromatids on the spindle microtubules and their subsequent segregation in meiosis II. The fusion of sister kinetochores in meiosis I underlies sister chromatid cohesion during this stage of the cell division, thereby their disruption or destruction of sister chromatid cohesion would lead to separation and segregation of sister chromatids to opposite poles of the cell in anaphase I.

Answers

Answer:

Making anti-viral drugs is more difficult than making anti-bacterial medicines because viruses have very few biochemical mechanisms of their own. They make use of host machinery which replicates. So it is very much difficult to find the targets where these drugs get interfered by not making any harm to the host. Thus, it is not easy to design an antiviral drug with high safety and effectiveness.

Think recessive phenotypes as paper and dominant phenotypes as teared paper. Once paper is teared, it can't be fixed. Not even tape. It'll just leave that mess exposed. Same with dominant phenotypes. It just takes one dominant trait to change the looks of future offspring.

If you don't tear the paper, everything is fine. Same with recessive phenotypes. As long as there's no contact with any dominant phenotypes, the looks of future offspring will change.

Answers

Answer:

first 4, then 2, then 1, and lastly 3

Explanation:

First, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene on the DNA and initiates transcription. Transcription is the process by which we get mRNA (coding RNA) which is used as a template for protein synthesis. Then, in transcription, the resulting mRNA undergoes modification and maturation. This  involves removal of introns, addition of 3'-poly-A tail and 5'-cap. Introns are sequences that do not code for protein and are hence removed. The structure that removes introns is the spliceosome. Thirdly, mature mRNA travels to the cytoplasm. Ribosome (composed of rRNA) binds to mRNA and tRNA to start the process of protein synthesis. The process of formation of protein is called translation. Lastly, the primary structure of protein may undergo folding to form a tertiary structure.

Why is it essential for SARS-CoV2 RNA be translated on ribosomes before it can be replicated?

Answers

The SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 1 (Nsp1), also referred to as the host shutoff factor, suppresses host innate immune functions. By combining cryo-electron microscopy and biochemistry, we show that SARS-CoV-2 Nsp1 binds to the human 40S subunit in ribosomal complexes, including the 43S pre-initiation complex and the non-translating 80S ribosome. The protein inserts its C-terminal domain into the mRNA channel, where it interferes with mRNA binding. We observe translation inhibition in the presence of Nsp1 in an in vitro translation system and in human cells.

Which is a possible outcome of global warming?
A. Hurricanes and other extreme weather will increase
B. Most crops will grow better in warmer climates
C. Sea levels will drop all around the world
D. Disease will not be able to spread as quickly

Answers

Answer is A While hurricanes are a natural part of our climate system, recent research suggests that there has been an increase in intense hurricane activity in the North Atlantic since the 1970s. In the future, there may not necessarily be more hurricanes, but there will likely be more intense hurricanes that carry higher wind speeds and more precipitation as a result of global warming.

A possible outcome of global warming is that hurricanes and other extreme weather events may increase. Therefore, the correct statement is option A.

What causes an increase in the temperature of Earth?

The gradual rise in the Earth's atmosphere's average temperature that results from the buildup of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, released by human activities like the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation is known as global warming.

The Earth's climate and weather patterns may alter as a result of this temperature rise, which might result in more frequent and severe weather events like hurricanes, floods, and droughts.

Due to alterations in precipitation patterns, increased pest pressure, and other factors, it is unlikely that most crops will grow more effectively in warmer climates. Because of the melting of glaciers and ice caps, sea levels are more likely to increase, resulting in floods in low-lying places.

Therefore, a possible outcome of global warming is that hurricanes and other extreme weather events may increase.
