which of these is an example of an abiotic factor
A:creosote plant
B:rocky desert soil
C:kangaroo rat
D:coyote

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Rocky \ desert \ soil}}[/tex]

Explanation:

An abiotic factor is a part of an ecosytem, but it is not alive. Some examples include water, rocks, sunlight, and the atmosphere.

On the other hand, a biotic factor is a living part of an ecosystem. Some examples are animals, plants, and fungi.

Let's look at the answer choices.

A creosote plant (choice A) kangaroo rat (choice C) and coyote (choice D) are all living organisms. Therefore, they must be biotic factors.

However, rocky desert soil (choice B) is not living. It's a part of the ecosystem, but since it's not alive it must be abiotic.

The Offspring produced by a cross between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes denoted by A, B, and C. A theoretical model of any of the three genotypes denoted by A, B, and C should be in the ratio 1:2:1. For experimental verification, 100 plants are bred by crossing the two given types. Their genetic classifications are recorded. Do these data contradict the genetic model

Answers

Complete question:

The offspring produced between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes, denoted by A, B and C. A theoretical model of gene inheritance suggests that the offspring of types A, B and C should be in a 1:2:1 ratio (meaning 25% A, 50% B, and 25% C). For experimental verification, 100 plants are bred by crossing the two given types. Their genetic classifications are recorded in the table below.

Genotype       Observed frequency

    A             →        18 individuals

    B             →        55 individuals

    C             →        27 individuals

Do these contradict the genetic model?  

Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Determine the chi-square test statistic.

Answer:

Do these contradict the genetic model? No, according to the chi-square test, there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis of the population being in equilibrium.  

Explanation:

Available data:

Crossed genotypes: twoGenotypes among the offspring; Three → A, B, and CExpected phenotypic ratio → 1:2:1Total number of individuals, N = 100A = 18 individualsB = 55 individualsC = 27 individuals

So, let us first state the hypothesis:

H₀= the population is equilibrium for this locus → F(A) = 25%,  F(B) = 50%, F(C) = 25%  H₁ = the population is not in equilibrium

Now, let us calculate the number of expected individuals, according to their expected ratio.

4 -------------- 100% -------------100 individuals

1 ---------------  25% -------------X = 25 individuals A

2 --------------  50% -------------X = 50 individuals B

1----------------- 25%--------------X = 25 individuals C

                                                  A                             B                           C

Observed                         18                            55                         27 Expected                         25                           50                         25 (Obs-Exp)²/Exp                1.96                        0.5                        0.16

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp

A)  (18 - 25)²/25 = 49/25 = 1.96

B)  (55 - 50)² / 50 = 25/50 = 0.5

C)  (27 - 25)²/25 = 4/25 = 0.16

Chi square = X² = Σ(Obs-Exp)²/Exp  

∑ is the sum of the terms O are the Observed individuals: 2 in chamber B, and 18 in chamber A.  E are the Expected individuals: 10 in each chamber  

= ∑ ((O-E)²/E) = 1.96 + 0.5 + 0.16 = 2.62

Freedom degrees = 2

Significance level, 5% = 0.05  

Table value/Critical value = 5.99

X² < Critical value

2.62 < 5.99    

These results suggest that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. We can assume that the locus under study in this population is in equilibrium H-W.

Answers

Answer:

Certain plants contain compounds similar to ecdysone which serve as a defense against insects. False

Juvenile hormone levels are high in insect larvae, but must decrease in order for metamorphosis to occur. True.

Chemicals similar to ecdysone and juvenile hormone are widely used commercially to control insect pests. True

Explanation:

The plants produce toxic chemicals such as terpenoids, alkaloids, anthocyanins, phenols, and quinones as a defense against insects. Juvenile hormone levels are high in insect larvae but its concentration decrease when the insect transform into adult stage and in order to  occur metamorphosis. Ecdysone and juvenile hormone are widely used as insecticide because it prevents the insects to transform from larva to adult so if they can't mature they can't harm the plants or other things of our environment.

When an ocean plate meets a continental plate at close to a straight line ( 180 degrees) the result is a subduction zone.


Why do scientists believe that some tectonic plates are moving away from each other?

Answers

The continents do move as new material from the center of the Earth rises, hardens and pushes older pieces of the Earth away from each other. They called their theory “sea floor spreading.” The theory explains that as the sea floor spreads, the tectonic plates are pushed and pulled in different directions

What are evolutionary relationships?

Systematics, taxonomy, phylogenetics, and evolution are the four approaches used to investigate evolutionary connections. The branch of science known as systematics is concerned with classifying species and figuring out their relationships. It has two primary branches that may be separated:

Organisms are classified, given names, and grouped in taxonomy. A population, species, genus, or higher-level grouping like a family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, or domain can all be considered as a group or taxon. The word taxon is pluralized as taxa. The determination of evolutionary links or patterns of descent of species is via the study of phylogenetics.

The species of living things that exist now are all descendants of earlier ones. This is the result of evolution or merely time-related change. Branching evolutionary trees can be used to illustrate the evolutionary links between ancestors and their offspring. An evolutionary tree shows which ancestors gave rise to which descendants, much like your family tree does.

Therefore the correct option is B.

The central parts of the oceans have mid-ocean ridges. The mid-ocean ridges are volcanic underwater mountain ranges.

There is constant propelling of magma, and as the magma cools off quickly it creates new crust.

This results in the mid-ocean ridges gaining heights of up to 1.5 km above the surrounding area.

How many mL of stock solution of 2M NaCl do you need to prepare 100 mL of 0.150M NaCl?​

Answers

Answer:

7.5mL

Explanation:

Comsidering the definition of dilution, 7.5 mL of the stock solution  of 2 M are required to prepare 100 mL of 0.150 M solution.

Dilution is a procedure by which the concentration of a solution is lowered. It is achieved by adding more solvent to the same amount of solute.

Then the amount of solute does not vary, but the volume of the solvent does: when more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume of the solution increases.

A dilution is mathematically expressed as:

Ci×Vi = Cf×Vf

where

Ci: initial concentration Vi: initial volume Cf: final concentration Vf: final volume

In this case, you know:

Ci= 2 M  Vi= ? Cf= 0.150 M Vf= 100 mL  

Replacing in the definition of dilution:  

2 M×Vi= 0.150 M×100 mL

Solving:

[tex]Vi=\frac{0.150 M x 100 mL}{2 M}[/tex]

Vi= 7.5 mL

In summary, 7.5 mL of the stock solution  of 2 M are required to prepare 100 mL of 0.150 M solution.
