Unplanned, rapid urban growth can create what problem?
A: elimination of invasive vegetation
B: desertification of farmland
C:rangeland damaged from overgrazing
D:infrastructure that cannot adequately support the population
Answer:
D: infrastructure that cannot adequately support the population
Explanation:
When urbanization is unplanned and rapid that will lead to a poor infrastructure which will be unable to support the population.
Unplanned and rapid urban growth will not have enough infratructure or organizational structures that will lead to poverty and poor water and waste managemnet system that will lead to communicable diseases and will be unable to support the population.
Hence, the correct option is D.

Answer:
The answer is B. Emissions from coal burning power plants which then rain down on waterways hopefully this helps!
Tetrodotoxin is a potent toxin found in a variety of organisms including the pufferfish. The toxin binds to the extracellular side of the voltage-gated Na+ channel and prevents channel opening. This leads to paralysis of muscles, including the diaphragm. Death from respiratory failure can occur after ingestion of as little as 1 mg of the toxin. How does this toxin cause paralysis? Choose one: A. The axon membranes continue to depolarize since sodium cannot leave the cell. This causes the cell to become overloaded and dysfunction. A signal is not sent to the muscle, so the muscle cannot contract. B. Sodium cannot enter and cause the membrane to depolarize. The action potential cannot be sent along the axon, so the neuron does not send a signal to the muscles. Thus the muscles are paralyzed. C. Since sodium cannot enter through its normal channel, the sodium ions flood through the potassium channels, causing an imbalance in ions. This imbalance causes too many signals to be sent to the muscle, leading to paralysis.
Answer: Option B.
Sodium cannot enter and cause the membrane to depolarize. The action potential cannot be sent along the axon, so the neuron does not send a signal to the muscles. Thus the muscles are paralyzed
Explanation:
Tetrodotoxin is a neurotoxin that is found in the liver and gonads of Marine organism. it block sodium channels and the consumption of organisms that has it can cause neurological and gastrointestinal disorder. It is produced by some infecting or symbiotic bacteria like Pseudoalteromonas, Pseudomonas, and Vibrio as well as other species found in animals.
Tetrodotoxin stop signals transmission from nerves to muscles by blocking the sodium channels and muscles in contracting for nervous stimulation. This in turn cause rapid weakening and paralysis of the muscles which include that of the respiratory tracts and can result to arrest or death.

Transposons are movable elements of DNA that insert into new positions within the genome. A transposon may disrupt normal gene function, confer an evolutionary advantage, or have no effect on the organism.
A. Aquisition of a transposon carrying an adhesin gene into the Lactobacillus casei genome.
B. Acquisition of a transposon that disrupts.
C. Insertion of a transposon encoding a heat shock protein into the genome of a plant.
D. Insertion of a transposon into the gene encoding Factor VIII, an essential blood-clotting protein.
E. Undefined.
Answer:
The answer is incomplete because it is imperative to know what is the result of the transposition (i.e., deleterious, beneficial or neutral). For example, A and C options represent study cases where the insertion of Transposable Elements (TEs) may result beneficial for the organism.
Explanation:
Transposable Elements (TE) are mobile genetic elements that have the ability to move within the genome. According to their mechanisms of insertion, TEs are classified into two major classes: Class I (or retrotransposons) and Class II (DNA transposons), which are capable of moving by copy-paste (i.e., by a RNA intermediate) and cut-paste mechanisms, respectively.
Although originally were considered to be parasitic (deleterious) genetic mobile elements, nowadays it is well known that they may be sometimes beneficial depending on the localization of the TE insertion. For example, TE insertion into a protein-coding region (exon) sequence it is likely to produce protein disruption and thereby it has a deleterious effect. However, the insertion of TEs into upstream and intron non-coding regions may confer gene regulatory activity and be eventually beneficial to the organism.
Refer to Infographic below. On the Galápagos Islands, the finches that Darwin studied tended to have either small beaks or large beaks. The smaller beaks are best at eating soft seeds but are ineffective at cracking large seeds. The larger beaks are best at cracking hard seeds. Beaks of intermediate size are inefficient for either seed type. Use the Infographic to identify and name which result of natural selection is at work in this example.
Answer:
Disruptive selection
Explanation:
According to the infographic that is attached below showing different the three main types of selection that occurs as a result of natural selection taking its course on any population, we can draw our conclusion regarding the information given to us from the question.
From the question above, it states that the finches studied by Darwin are majorly finches with either small beak or large beak which are all adapted to suit the type of food available for the finches in the islands. Whereas, finches with intermediate beaks are favored against.
According to the infographic, disruptive selection can be said to have taken place as extreme traits are favored against intermediate traits on the islands.

Cellular respiration ________. Group of answer choices releases carbon dioxide and water results in a net consumption of energy involves a net consumption of water represents a decrease in entropy requires the green pigment chlorophyll
Answer:
Cellular respiration releases C02 and water. This process leads to production of energy as ATPs. The objective is to extract the energy trapped in glucose and other metabolites. It begins in the cytoplasm and ends in the mitochondrial of cells. Since it involves liberation of energy as a spontaneous reaction, it has a positive entropy. It does not involves the use of Chlorophyll.
C02 and water as byproducts are given out during Kreb'scycle.
Explanation:
In an effort to identify the influence of genetic factors on both Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes, researchers calculated concordance rates for monozygotic twins. Concordance rates of 30–50% have been found for Type I diabetes and concordance rates of 80% for Type II. For both kinds of diabetes, dizygotic concordance rates were about 15%. What does this information suggest concerning the relative effect of genetic and environmental factors for each type of diabetes?
The provided question is incomplete as it lack the correct options to answer the question correctly however the correct options are as follows:
a) Environmental factors have no role in the occurrence of either type of diabetes.
b) Type II diabetes appears to be caused by a single, unidentified gene.
c) Genetic influences exert a larger role in Type II diabetes than in Type I diabetes.
d) Genetic factors have little or no role in the occurrence of Type I diabetes.
e) Type II diabetes is primarily determined by non-genetic factors.
Answer:
The correct answer option C.
Explanation:
Genetic factors influence the development of the type I and type II diabetes in monozygotic twins in the study by the concordance rates of 30 -50% and 80%. In both type of diabetes the genetic influences also present but comparatively low in dizygotic.
In this study the role of genetic influences are mentioned directly where is no information about environmental influences are present. It also suggests that the influences in Type II is higher than the type II diabetes.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Which of these is a part of the process of speciation?
O A. Living in a stable environment
O B. Interbreeding between species
O C. Increased gene flow
OD. Divergence in genetie traits
Answer:
d
Explanation:
Speciation is the formation of new species as a result of evolution these three stages are separation, adaptation, and reproductive isolation. First Stage: Separation. Speciation usually begins when a part of a population becomes separated from the rest of their species.
d
When a population is split into smaller groups, why do these groups develop
different traits?
A. Evolutionary mechanisms work the two subgroups
independently
B. Separating the two groups decreases the chance that the two
groups will diverge.
C. Gene flow is increased in the two subgroups that are formed.
D. Traits that form in one group from evolutionary forces quickly
spread through both populations.
Answer: A. Evolutionary mechanisms work the two subgroups independently.
Explanation:
Speciation can be defined as the process by which new species develop from the pre-existing species. It occurs when the members of the same species get separated. The separated members become reproductively isolated and diverge.
The speciation of two separated members will take place individually due to the development of new traits according to the need of new habitat and other survival conditions. Thus evolutionary mechanism will work independently for the two subgroups.

Thetrophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is defined as the product of 100 and the quotient of production at the trophic level of interest and the trophic level one position lower. If the primary producers in a particular ecosystem provide 5000 kcal/m2/yr and the primary consumers in this ecosystem produce 1000 kcal/m2/yr, what is the TLTE for these two trophic levels in this ecosystem? (
Answer:
The trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is 20 % for the producer and the primary consumer.
Explanation:
The trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is calculated by dividing the value of primary consumer by the value of producer and multiply by 100. The value of 1000 is divided by 5000 and multiply by 100, we get 20 % which means that when the primary consumer eat producer, only 20% of energy is transferred in the body of primary consumer while the remaining 80% energy will be lost as heat energy in the ecosystem.
If 300 blue jays are found in a 20 hectare plot, what is the population density?
Answer:
15 blue jays per 1 hectare
Explanation:
==>Given:
A population of blue jays (N) = 300
Area of land (A) = 20 hectares
==>Required:
Population density (D)
==>Solution:
Population density can be defined as the number of members of a population dwelling in a unit area.
The formula is given by:
Population density (D) = Population (N) ÷ Area (A)
Thus, D = 300 ÷ 20
D = 15
Population density of blue jay = 15 blue jays per 1 hectare

Roger is relieved that he does not have LQT7, which affects skeletal as well as cardiac muscle, causing short stature and scoliosis. He is also glad that he doesn't have LQT8, which causes many symptoms, or either of two types that also cause deafness. These other forms of the condition, with more than one symptom, exhibit:_____
a. invariable expressivity.b. complete penefrance.c. genetic homogeneity.d. pleiotropy.e. phenocopy.
Answer:
D) pleiotropy
Explanation:
Long QT syndrome is a type of syndrome which is characterized by having a long QT interval of the cardiac cycle.
Log QT syndrome occurs when the genes which control the formation of ion channels like sodium, potassium gets mutated as a result of which these channels are not formed or if formed are blocked. This slows down the ventricular repolarization as a result of which enough blood does not reach the organs.
The disease is genetical and is considered an autosomal recessive form. The gene for this is known as LQT and the associated genes are LQT7 and LQT8.
These associated genes produce additional symptoms along with long QT like short stature therefore these genes are considered pleiotropic where gene shows multiple effects.
Thus, Option-d is the correct answer.

Explanation:
Three genes control the production of tail structures in dogs. The wag1 gene promotes the production of tail structures. However, the brkn gene inhibits wag1 activity. Another gene, ntrdr, stimulates activity of the brkn gene. Put these genes in order in a developmental pathway. Use arrows and t-bars between the genes as appropriate.
You conducted an experiment in which you knocked out the activity of the ntrdr gene in early embryological development. Will tail structures be produced by this animal?
a. Yes
b. No
Answer:
1. ntrdr --> brken --| wag1 --> Tail structures
2. Yes
Explanation:
(1) In this experiment three different genes are present;
1) Wag-1 - promotes production of tail structures
2) brkn gene - inhibits Wag-1 which leads to inhibition or inactive Wag1 gene and there is no tail formation.
3) ntrdr gene - stimulates the activity of brkn gene thus this in turn inhibits Wag-1 gene and results in inhibiting the tail formation.
(2) The ntrdr gene stimulates the brkn gene and active brkn gene inhibits the wag-1 gene. As we know Wag1 gene is essential for tail formation. on removing out ntrdr gene result in inactive gene brkn thus allows the expression of the Wag-1 gene allowing tail growth in dogs.

B, two hydrogen atoms combine to make one helium atom
C, two helium atoms combine to make one carbon atom
Answer:
1. Option A.
Increase.
2. Option B.
two hydrogen atoms combine to make one helium atom
Explanation:
Stars formation occur In a cold or sense region called molecular clouds. It start when the fender part of the cloud collapse under gravity. The core tend to collapse first since they are denser than the outer cloud. As the collapse they form clumps and this intend form protostar and this process take 10 million years. As the center of the protostar is compressed, it heat up. The Temperature increases.
Nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction in which two lighter nuclei combines to form heavier nuclei. Two hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms
A trout population grew from 4 in 1992 to 16 in 1993 and then to 64 in 1994. If it continued to grow exponentially, approximately how many trout were there in 1995?
100
Answer:
256
Explanation:
==>Trout population:
In 1992, we have 4
In 1993, we have 16
In 1994, we have 64
==>Required:
Population if trout in 1995
Thus, since we are told that the population growth is exponential, and looking at how the popuation increased from 1992 to 1994, we can see that the population increased yearly in the multiples of 4.
=> 4, 16, 64, ?
The next number in this series of exponential growth which represents the population in 1995 would be 256. I.e. (4)⁴ = 4*4*4*4 = 256
Population of trout in 1995 = 256
Answer:
256 trouts
Explanation:
There would be about 100 trouts in 1995.
When a population grows exponentially, it means that the number of individuals in the population grows at a constant proportion relative to the original population.
The population of trout according to the illustration grows exponentially by multiplying by 4 every year. Hence, if there were 4 in 1992,
by 1993: there were 4 x4 = 16 trouts
by 1994: there were 16 x 4 = 64 trouts
by 1995: there would be 64 x 4 = 256 trouts.

Answer:
Human impact on the environment.
Explanation:
Human is the main responsible for the change in the environment. Human activities causes severe damage to the environment. The habitat of different species were destroyed by human for its own purpose. Large number of forest were eliminated for making land suitable for construction and living. Due to vehicles and industries, large amount of carbondioxide is emitted in the atmosphere which contribute in rising the temperature of the earth atmosphere. This global warming change the habitat of different organisms and these organism will die or migrate to other suitable places. Acid rain also occurs due to the emission of CO2, CO and SO2 from vehicles and industries. This acid rain causes adverse effect on the animals, plants and infrastructure or buildings.
