Describe TWO ways the impact of humans accelerates change in an ecosystem.
Climate change causes problems for organisms that have adapted
to their environments. Please list two problems that climate change
could cause which would prevent organisms from surviving in an
environment to which they are well adapted.

- Two species of fish live in the Pacific ocean. The first species, Bigous fishis, can only live in the upper level of the sea close to the surface. The second species, Littlout fishis, lives in the lower levels of the sea near the ocean floor.

Then analyze some risks and benefits of human intervention to the biodiversity of mammalia and analyze the impact that climate change might have on the diversity of mammalia and these animals specifically.arrow_forwardWhen describing this experiment to your friends, they point out that rotifers are multicellular predators and thus cannot have been responsible for the earliest transition from single cell to multicellularity. Based on what you have learned in this lab and in the paper by Herron et al. 2019, what would be an informed response to this comment include? Select all that apply. Question 3 options: It is irrelevant that rotifers are multicellular in our study as some of the predators of small unicellular organisms are themselves unicellular, and predation, whether by a unicellular or multicellular organism, was all that was needed. Multicellularity evolved many times. While multicellular predators cannot have been responsible for the earliest transition from unicellular to multicellularity, they may have played a role in some of the later transitions which occurred after the evolution of animals. Using a multicellular predator is…arrow_forward

How are these structures constructed? How might this tilapia contribute to the ecosphere?arrow_forwardLean mice (+/+) were reared so they had microbe-free guts. Two groups of lean mice were injected, one with fecal material from obese mice (ob / o * b) and the other with fecal material from other lean mice. Both groups of mice were fed the same food.

This species is a crucial part of their ecosystem’s food web and is a predator of many soil microbes. The divergent phenotype appears to negatively affect its predatory behaviour, which could have disastrous flow on effects to the rest of the ecosystem. Preliminary studies also indicate this phenotype has a genetic basis, so is not caused by infection. You have been tasked with uncovering the genetic basis of this phenotype. Q6. Given the phenotype leads to a negative impact on the nematode’s predatory behaviour, develop a hypothesis as to why this phenotype is increasing among the population (i.e. it is being positively selected for): Q7. Briefly describe an experiment you could use to test this hypothesis:arrow_forward
