Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- describe species adaptation and populationsWhat are interesting facts that applies to adaptation as a unifying theme?Behavior influences how organisms experience the environment and thus patterns of natural selection on behavioral traits. Which of the following examples is consistent with this statement? Some lizards in complex tropical forests prefer to hang out on tree trunks and branches, rather than the ground substrate, which has resulted in selection for shorter relative limb length and toe pads that can cling to bark. Ground-burrowing mammals experience greater exposure to dust and increased selection on their respiratory system to filter these particulates. Specialist parasitoids only target a handful of different host/prey types, resulting in a predictable resource and less selection on the ability to learn new resources All of the above Imagine that scientists have just discovered a weird new marine tunicate at extreme depths of the ocean. They have a novel kind of neurotransmitter – maritonin – that binds to the “maritonin” receptor, which is permeable to negatively charged iodine ions…

And explain the examples of why plasticity described as an adaptiveDescribe and give example of Temporal in adaptation and speciation.How can behaviors be adaptive? Provide an example that includes support from the five tenants of evolution by natural selection: 1) overproduction of offspring, 2) variation in the population, 3) competition for resources, 4) adaptive advantage for some, and 5) reproduction for those who survive

Include an image depicting the defence mechanism, describe the defence mechanism and cite your sources. b) Hypothesize how this defence mechanism may have evolved over time due to pressure from predation and/or competition.The following are the concept of operant conditioning: Three techniques to increase response in operant conditioning are: a) Positive reinforcement b) Negative reinforcement c) Shaping Two techniques decreasing response in operant conditioning are: a) Punishment b) Extinction Direction: Explain each terms and give atleast 2 examples.
