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
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

Blood type analysis is used frequently as evidence in paternity suits. Consider the following
hypothetical cases presented in the table. The blood type of the mother and child are given; indicate which
blood type(s) MUST be the father's for each situation.
Answer:
Row 1: Any blood type except AB
Row 2: Blood type A/AB
Row 3: Any blood type except AB
Row 4: Any blood type
Row 5: AB/B
Explanation:
1. If the blood type was AB for the first one (two dominant alleles) then O could not appear as it is recessive.
2. The blood type must contain at least one A allele as AB is obtained from I^A and I^B (already provided by the mother).
3. Once again, the blood type must carry at least one recessive O allele for the O blood type to occur in this child.
4. As long as the blood type either carries a recessive O or another B, the blood type will result in a B.
5. The blood type of the father must contain at least one B for the child to have a B blood type.

Leigh's disease is a mitochondrially inherited disease with symptoms that include seizures, fatigue, impaired reflexes, breathing problems, and ataxia. The pedigree shows the presence of Leigh's disease in three generations. Individual 4 had two daughters and one son, and individual 6 had one daughter and two sons. Which of the individuals indicated are affected by Leigh's disease
About the question:
You will find the pedigree in the attached files
Answer:
individual 4 → Affected woman → Black circleindividual 5 → Affected woman or man → Black circle or squareindividual 7 → Healthy woman → Empty circleindividual 10 → Affected boy → Black SquareExplanation:
Mitochondrial inheritance is the transmission of a disease or a trait from the maternal line.
Most of the DNI is in the nucleus, but there is also DNI in mitochondria. Sperm cells hardly transfer mitochondrial genes to the progeny, so mitochondrial DNI is mostly inherited from the maternal side. If there exists any mutation in this mitochondrial DNI, the whole progeny of the mutated woman will be affected, as they will get the mother genotype carrying the mutation. On the contrary, if an affected man is carrying a mutation in mitochondrial DNI, non of their descendants will get the disease.
Before answering the question, let us remember the pedigree symbols.
Squares represent Males/Men Circles represent Females/WomenEmpty symbols represent healthy/non-affected individualsSolid black symbols represent sick/affected individualsIn the exposed pedigree, we can see that the mother is affected by the disease (individual number 2), so all her children are also affected (individuals 4, 5, and 6) because the disease is mitochondrially inherited.
Individual 3 is a healthy man, so individual 4 must be an affected woman (Black circle). As she is the one affected, then all her children will also be affected. This couple had one boy and two girls. Individuals 8 and 9 are girls (circle), so individual 10 must be the affected boy (black square).
On the other hand, individual 6 is an affected man (black square), son of individuals 1 and 2. This man couples with a woman, and they have all healthy children. So this woman (individual 7) must be healthy. Even though the man is affected, all their children are not because their mother (7) is not. Remember that sperm cells do not transmit the mitochondrial genes to the progeny.
And finally, individual number 5 might be either a man or a woman. In any case, this person is also affected by Leigh's disease.

Lower the amount of dissolved oxygen in the ocean, depriving many
invertebrate animals of oxygen necessary to live.
Lower the amount of sea ice in polar areas. This will warm the water,
decreasing the abundance of primary producers and the number of
organisms that eat these producers.
Increase the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of
the ocean, making upwelling less likely to occur. This will decrease ocean
nutrient levels, affecting the number of primary producers.
Raise water temperatures above the tolerance limits for many aquatic

Answer:
a) Beaver-dam buildings → (iii) Pond floods
b) Forest fire → (i) New plants can grow because of an increase in sunlight on the forest floor
c) Lack of rainfall → (ii) Zebras migrate farther to find water holes
d) Invasive water plants arrive → (iv) Sunlight is blocked for native seagrasses
e) Grasshopper outbreaks → (v) Crops are wiped out along the prairie
f) Coyote disease decreases the population → (vi) Mice population explodes
Explanation:
a) Beaver-dam buildings → (iii) Pond floods
This is an example of how some species might produce damages in ecosystems. Beavers are known for their dams, where they hide from predators, find shelter, reproduce, and feed. With time, and as the beaver population grows, these dams get bigger each time. These animals keep cutting down trees and covering some wider areas that were inhabited previously by other species. The landscape changes, these areas get flooded permanently, most vegetation dye, the soil properties get altered, and just a few species can keep living there. The ecosystem changes.
b) Forest fire → (i) New plants can grow because of an increase in sunlight on the forest floor
This is an example of biological succession. Stable forests characterize as having big old trees that compete for light developing big canopies at heights. Poor light reaches the ground and allows some smaller species to grow. When a fire occurs, some of these trees might fall or disappear. These fire events open windows in the forest through which sunlight directly reaches the ground. Many new species can germinate and grow. There occurs a renovation of vegetable species in the forest and the consequent renovation of other living forms.
c) Lack of rainfall → (ii) Zebras migrate farther to find water holes
It is not unusual that some species need to migrate looking for food or water. In certain areas, seasonal differences are very sharp, and while some periods characterize as producing plenty of food and water, some others characterize as lacking them, dry seasons especially. Animals develop different strategies to face these moments. Zebras need to migrate to find a new source of water to ensure proper hydration.
d) Invasive water plants arrive → (iv) Sunlight is blocked for native seagrasses
A very known global environmental problem is the damage caused by invasive species. In a few words, exotic species arrive in a new area out of their native distribution range, establish, grow, adapt, and reproduce. These exotic species turn into invasive species when they overgrow, sharply increasing their reproductive rate. At this point, interaction with native species becomes harder, competing for resources such as space, light, food, shelter, water, among many others. Invasive species become such a good competitor that end by displacing native species. In the exposed example, invasive water plants arrive, and their population overgrows. They compete for light with native seagrasses and end by blocking it for them.
e) Grasshopper outbreaks → (v) Crops are wiped out along the prairie
This is an example of the prey-predator relationship. In this case, grasshoppers are the predators, and crops are acting as the prey. Whenever one of the population increases in size, the other one follows this increase, causing the decrease of the first one. When the first population decreases, the second one also decreases. In this example, grasshopper outbreaks, meaning an increase in predation rate over crops. Many more individuals are feeding on the crops, causing more damages to the plants´ population. Crops do not have enough time to recover, so they are wiped out.
f) Coyote disease decreases the population → (vi) Mice population explodes
This is also an example of the prey-predator relationship. In this case, coyotes are the predators, and mice are acting as the prey. As coyotes are affected by the disease, which causes a decrease in their population size, mice seem to be favored, as they are not predated. They have enough time to recover as a population and increase in size. Coyotes´population decreases in size, so there are many fewer individuals feeding on mice, and hence, the mice population increases very fast. It explodes.

All plants are subject to photorespiration, but not all plants are equally affected by photorespiration due to the environment in which they live.Choose one of the two pictures (A or B) and explain why that environment would increase the likelihood that those plants would be greatly affected by photorespiration. Your answer should describe the nature of the environmental impact and how the impact would affect the anatomy and physiology of photosynthesis of the plant.The environments are:A. Desert. Prairie
Answer:
Desert.
Explanation:
Photorespiration occurs in C3 plants because their photosynthetic activities are disturbed due to high temperature of the environmental while on the other hand, C4 plants has absent this photorespiration process. The desert environment has direct impact on the plants having photorespiration due to its high temperature of the surrounding as compared Prairie where the environment is moderate so the C3 plants has high chances of photorespiration in desert condition as compared to Prairie.

How do divisions in the geologic time scale differ from the way we organize time using a clock?
Explanation:
The Earth's geologic past is divided into hierarchical time periods. This hierarchy comprises eons, eras, times, epochs, and ages, from largest to smallest. The Cenozoic, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic Periods are the three main divisions of the Phanerozoic.
The geological timescale is the official earth clock and differs from the way we organize time using a clock, as the planet's time is too long for us to use measures of hours.
Geologic timescalePlanet Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. To better understand its history, scientists divide geologic time into five levels of classification, called chronostratigraphic units:
EonsErasPeriodsEpochsand ages.Eons are large and indeterminate spans of time and are divided into four classifications:
Phanerozoic (last 542 million years)ProterozoicArcheanand Hadean.Of them, only the Hadean is not divided into ages. The ages are characterized according to the different positions of continents, oceans and their living beings. Within the ages are divided in the periods. Epochs, in turn, are divisions within periods and are divided into ages. According to the researchers, we currently live in the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic era.
To get a rough idea of how much the existence of the human being is a mere recent episode in Earth's geological time, we use some analogies. For example, if the entire history of the planet were summarized in the twenty-four hours of a day, the existence of humanity would have occurred in the last three seconds of that same day.
Understanding the dimension of geological time and its scales of measurement becomes a fascinating mental exercise to better understand the role of man in relation to this temporality and his role as heir of all the transformations that have taken place in terrestrial space throughout the geological ages.

13-22 Aquaculturists (people who farm marine resources, typically in semi-enclosed areas off the coast) have development methods of growing various invertebrates as food sources, such as clams, mussels, and oysters. Other widely consumed species, such as squid, have never been successfully grown in controlled marine environments, and so they remain wild caught. Why
Answer: There are several problems associated with handling of the squid.
Explanation:
Squid is a deep sea creature which becomes enormously big in size and difficult in handling in artificial water body or aquaculture.
It consumes and requires huge amount of food in the pre-larval stages typically phytoplankton and it becomes difficult to provide such food to them.
The maintenance of temperature, and salinity for the squid in aquaculture is difficult.
The sticky arms of the squid adhere to the surface of tub or human handler making it difficult to handle and can be poisonous to humans too.
