Why can't weeds take over the world? In other words, what limits the growth of populations?
Answer and Explanation:
Many elements can limit population growth. The main elements that can cause this are the lack of resources necessary for the life and development of living beings and the lack of space to be taken by them. In relation to weeds, these resources can be the availability of sun, amount of soil, soil fertility, availability of water and space. However, these plants are very resistant to the lack of these resources, and what most limits their growth is human interference.
Weeds are unfavorable to agriculture and other human activities. This makes humans fight the population growth of these plants using chemical products and even physical strategies. This interference prevents weeds from taking over the world.

Rinderpest (a virus) has high mortality in wildebeest (a kind of herbivore), especially in young animals. From the early 1960s, after the elimination of a virus called rinderpest, the wildebeest population has increased dramatically from 1958 to 1978. The elimination of rinderpest impacted the wildebeest population. What type of factor is rinderpest
Answer:
density-dependent, top-down factor
Explanation:
In biology, limiting factors are resources and other conditions in the environment whose presence/availability limit the population growth rate. Density-dependent factors refer to the conditions whose effects on the size/growth of the population vary depending on the population density. Some examples of density-dependent factors include diseases, competition, and predation, etc. These factors can exhibit a positive or negative correlation with the population size. Moreover, bottom-up population control (species limitation by resources) refers to limitations placed by resources allowing growth (e.g., food source or habitat), while top-down population control (limitation by enemies), refers to limitations placed by factors that control the death rate in the population (e.g., predation or diseases).

What is a quantity that describes only the magnitude
Answer:
Scalar quantities are quantities that are described only by a magnitude.
what determines the physical change form of a substance
Answer:
color, shape size etc
Explanation:
You are a researcher interested in a rare, highly endangered bird species that lives in a very remote area of the Amazonian rainforest. Almost nothing is currently known about this species’ diet, behavior, life-span, breeding system, or its interactions with other species. Use your knowledge of the definition of ecology, the scales at which ecological research is conducted, and experimental design.
1. Which ecological level (or levels) would you focus on in your research? Justify why you would choose this level (or levels), and explain why you would not choose the others.
2. Would you use an observational, experimental, or modeling approach to study this rare bird species? Why would the approach you chose be a better choice than the others for your study?
Answer:
- Ecological levels to consider in this study: organism, population and community
- Approach: I would use an observational approach to study this bird species
Explanation:
The levels of the ecological organization include the organism, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere (from simplest to most complex). In this exploratory study, it is imperative to consider: 1-morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations of the bird species (i.e., organismal-level), 2- size/density/structure of the bird population (i.e., population-level), and 3-interactions between bird population and other populations (i.e., community-level). The higher ecological levels, i.e., ecosystem-level (relationships between the community and abiotic factors ) and biosphere-level (biosphere = planet Earth), can be in this case disregarded because this study is centered on a focus bird species. Moreover, it is expected to apply an observational strategy because nothing is currently known about the focus bird species. The experimental and modeling approaches seem more suitable to test a particular hypothesis being discussed (it is not the case for this study).

the fertilization of ovules from plant Q by pollen from plant R results in the productions of seeds. What percent of the genes in each offspring's chloroplasts wioll have been inherited from plant R
Answer:
The correct answer is - zero or 0%.
Explanation:
The fertilization in flowering plants takes place by fusing the pollen of one plant or flower with the ovum of another plant or flower of the same species normally and form a zygote. The zygote gets an equal amount of genetic material from both parent plants by the process f exchange of the genetic material.
The ovum or the egg cell of the plant is considered as the mother and the mother is responsible for the chloroplast And mitochondria of the progeny so in this case, the ovum and egg cell comes from the only plant Q thus, the percentage of chloroplast genes provided via Plant R is 0%.

Answer:
Tt
Explanation:
Hello. I believe that you are only referring to question 2, since question 3 does not present all the answer options. As such, the offspring of a cross between a tall pea plant (TT) and a low pea plant (tt) would be completely "Tt."
To achieve this result, you must make a Punnett Square, which is a frame that allows you to combine the alleles of the parents in a cross to project the alleles of the offspring.
Alleles are those characterized by the letters associated with characteristics. As you saw in the question above, tall pea plants have "TT" alleles that are dominant alleles, while low pea plants have "tt" alleles that are recessive alleles. In this case, to use Punnett Square, you must put the alleles of one parent in the first row and the allele of the other parent in the first column. Then just combine each allele, as shown below:
T T
t Tt Tt
t Tt Tt
As you can see all the offspring will have the "Tt" alleles. This means that the entire offspring will be tall pea plants. This is because the recessive allele "t", which is related to pea plants, can only be expressed in the presence of another recessive allele. However, the dominant "T" allele, which is associated with tall pea plants, can be expressed in any situation.
For a typical human aorta, the diameter of the lumen is 30 mm and the thickness of the wall is 4 mm. Assuming a blood density of 1.06 gm/cc and a viscosity of 0.035 Poise, calculate the Womersley number if the heart rate is 70 bpm. Diameters for the carotid and femoral arteries of a typical human are about 0.8 cm and 0.5 cm, respectively. Compute the Womersley numbers for each of the arterial segments for the same heart rate and explain if the flows can be assumed steady or not.
Answer:
Womersley numbers : 22.25 , 5.96 , 3.72
Explanation:
Calculate the Womersley number if the heart rate = 70 bpm
For the Human Aorta
∝ = r [tex]\sqrt{\frac{wp}{u} }[/tex] ------ ( 1 )
r = radius = 15 mm = 0.015 m
w = 2πf = 2 * π * 70 = 439.82
p = density of blood = 1060 kg/m^3
u = 0.035 P = 3.5 cp = 3.5 * 10^-3 Ns/m^2
Back to equation ( 1 )
∝ = 0.015 * [tex]\sqrt{\frac{439.82*1060}{60*3.5*10^{-3} } }[/tex] = ( 0.015 * √466209.2 / 0.21 ) = 22.35
For Carotid artery
r = 0.8 cm / 2 = 0.4 cm = 0.004 m
w = 2πf = 439.82
Womersley number = ( 0.004 * √466209.2 / 0.21 )
= 0.004 * 1489.981 = 5.96
For Femoral artery
r = 0.5 cm / 2 = 0.25 cm = 0.0025 m
Womersley number = 0.0025 * √466209.2 / 0.21 )
= 0.0025 * 1489.981 = 3.72
The flow is unsteady because of the varying Womersley numbers
The original source of new alleles, upon which selection operates, is mutation, a random event that occurs without regard to selectional value in the organism. Although many model organisms have been used to study mutational events in populations, some investigators have developed abiotic molecular models. Soll et al. (2006. Genetics 175: 267-275) examined one such model to study the relationship between both deleterious and advantageous mutations and population size in a ligase molecule composed of RNA (a ribozyme). Soll found that the smaller the population of molecules, the more likely it was that not only deleterious mutations but also advantageous mutations would disappear. Why would population size influence the survival of both types of mutations (deleterious and advantageous) in populations
Answer:
Sampling error may allow fixation of one form and the elimination of others in a small population.
Explanation:
It can be seen that in case of a small population size, there are high chances of the elimination or the fixation of the allele in the population when compared to the large population size. Also sampling errors are found in case of small population size that leads to the enhancement of the chances for fixation and also for the elimination of the allele. This large size population doe not have much effect. The random fixation of the either selective allele or the elimination of the disadvantageous allele occurs due to the genetic drift.
SO in order for the population size influenced the survival of both types of mutations , the sampling error may be allowed for the fixation of one of the form and the elimination of the other forms in the small population size.
Why is global warning considered a controversial issue?
answer: The global warming controversy concerns the public debate over whether global warming is occurring, how much has occurred in modern times, what has caused it, what its effects will be, whether any action can or should be taken to curb it, and if so what that action should be. In the scientific literature, there is a strong consensus that global surface temperatures have increased in recent decades and that the trend is caused by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases.[1][2][3][4][5][6] No scientific body of national or international standing disagrees with this view,[7] though a few organizations with members in extractive industries hold non-committal positions,[8] and some have attempted to convince the public that climate change is not happening, or if the climate is changing it is not because of human influence,[9] attempting to sow doubt in the scientific consensus.
Which of the following is true about the coasts of North and South America? O A. Little industry is located along the coasts, B. There are few cities and the population is sparse. O c. A majority of the population is located there. D. People go to the coasts only when on vacation,
Answer:
The correct answer is C. In North and South America, a majority of the population is located on the coasts.
Explanation:
Historically, the vast majority of civilizations have sought to establish their urban centers around bodies of water, be they rivers or seas, that allow them a rapid expansion outward as well as channels through which to channel trade. Thus, it can be seen how throughout the world and especially the American continent, large cities and population centers are located primarily on the coasts. Examples of this situation are Vancouver in Canada, New York and Los Angeles in the United States, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or Buenos Aires in Argentina.
