What is resource partitioning and how is it an adaptation to competition? Provide an
example.

Answers

Answer 1

Definition:

Resource partitioning is the division of limited resources by species to help avoid competition in an ecological niche.

In any environment, organisms compete for limited resources, so organisms and different species have to find ways to coexist with one another.

Example:

Some lizard species appear to coexist because they consume insects of differing sizes.

Non vascular plants are quite commin in the forests along the coast of Norther California but are relatively rare in the ecosystems around Davis in the Central Valley. What aspects of the life cycle of these plants make it difficult for them to reproduce on our area

Answers

Answer:

The Central Valley of northern California is a region where there is little water supply, while nonvascular plants cannot efficiently store water and they have primitive traits that are dependent on water for reproduction.

Explanation:

The Central Valley of northern California is characterized to have little natural precipitation/snowmelt during the dry summer months. In addition, California's climate also has extended periods of drought. On the other hand, non-vascular plants such as mosses and liverworts, are a type of plant that lacks vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), and they also lack true roots, stems, or leaves. These plants cannot efficiently absorb and store water (which fundamental for survival), and thereby the success of these plants in establishing and reproducing in the ecosystems of the Central Valley is limited to their physiological tolerance to desiccation. Moreover, non-vascular plants may also exhibit primitive traits related to their reproductive cycle (e.g., a flagellated sperm) that are dependent on water for reproduction.

Describe the pattern of inheritance that is most likely associated with a mutation in the MT-ND5 gene. Explain why individuals are not typically heterozygous with respect to mitochondrial genes.

Answers

Answer:

this gene is a mitochondrial gene and therefore it is maternally inherited

Explanation:

The MT-ND5 gene is a gene of the mitochondrial genome that provides instructions for synthesizing a protein called NADH dehydrogenase 5, which is part of the complex I (the first enzyme of the respiratory chain). In most multicellular organisms, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited from the mother (i.e., maternally inherited), whereas nuclear DNA (i.e., nuclear genome) is inherited equally from both parents. For example, mitochondria in human sperm are usually destroyed after fertilization. In consequence, mitochondrial mutations are transmitted by maternal inheritance, and individuals, therefore, cannot be heterozygous for mitochondrial genes.

The pattern of inheritance that is most likely associated with a mutation in the MT-ND5 gene is

MT-ND5 is a mitochondrial genome coded gene responsible for the protein NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain V protein (ND5). ND5 is a sub-unit od NADH dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial protein. The mutant MT-ND5 will be transferred to the progeny via maternal mitochodral mtDNA.

Individuals are not typically heterozygous with respect to mitochondrial genes because

Heterozygousity of alleles of a particular gene arises due to contribution of both maternal and paternal genes. This is what happens for nuclear chromosomes. Mitochondria is an organelle that contains its independent genome. Only maternal mitochondria gets selected and thus are successfully transferred to the next generation post fertilization.

A researcher is curious if Bt resistant bollworms are susceptible to an insecticide called DDT. Bollworms susceptible to Bt have genotype RR or Rr, whereas those resistant to Bt have genotype rr. Bollworms susceptible to DDT have genotype tt, whereas bollworms resistant to DDT have genotypes Tt or TT. In an effort to better understand how these two genes are inherited, the researcher crosses an RR tt bollworm with an rr TT bollworm to produce the F1 generation. Then, the researcher crosses the F1 generation to produce an F2 generation. What proportion of the F2 generation is resistant to both Bt and DDT

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3/16 or 18.75% portion will be resistant to both Bt and DDT.

Explanation:

It is given that bollworms that are susceptible to Bt are represented by either RR or Rr and resistance one are shown by rr genotype and bollworms that are resistant to DDT are represent TT or Tt genotype and susceptible to DDT have tt genotype.

Cross: RR tt with rr TT

Gametes: Rt and rT

F1 cross:

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Red four o clocks are h/o/m/o/z/y/g/o/u/s RR.

White four o clocks are h/o/m/o/z/y/g/o/u/s WW.

R is not dominant to W and W is not dominant to R. This means that there is an incomplete dominance (or semi-dominance), where the phenotypes will mix and the Dominant alleles doesn't mask the affect of the Recessive alleles.

Why is it more difficult for top carnivores to obtain sufficient energy resources than it is for animals lower on the food chain?

Answers

the trophic pyramid is the reason

what the trophic pyramid is:  Trophic pyramid, also called an energy pyramid, showing the progression of food energy. The pyramid base contains producers, organisms that make their own food from inorganic substances. All other organisms in the pyramid are consumers

- predators get little energy from the prey they eat so they must consume multiple prey

It is more difficult for top carnivores to obtain sufficient energy resources than it is for animals lower on the food chain because the higher trophic levels have less energy than the lower ones.

The trophic levels of food chain

The food chain is defined as a feeding pathway that consists of similar organisms that are placed in the same trophic levels.

Trophic levels in a food chain are those levels that is occupied by a group of organisms that have a similar feeding mode.

The plants which are the producers are at the lower trophic level while the carnivores are at the higher trophic levels.

The carnivores eats meat from other animals but not plant or plant products which obtain direct energy from sunlight.

Therefore, It is more difficult for top carnivores to obtain sufficient energy resources than it is for animals lower on the food chain because the higher trophic levels have less energy than the lower ones.
