Explanation:
OK, first of all, let me explain to you, what is a scientific theory...
A scientific theory is an explanation and demonstration of an aspect that exists in the natural world or universe that has been verified by the scientific way through repeated testing of the experiment with accepted protocols of observation, measurements and evaluation of results.
A scientific law is generated in the same procedure as above, but it can predict a wide range of natural phenomena.
Ex-: you are throwing a basketball from the top of a dam to the river. according to physics on earth, it should fall down. it's a law. no matter where you are, that basketball touches down the ground if there's any gravitational force.
But cell theory cannot be assumed to be common throughout the entire universe. Because we may find some other form of life that has some other plans. viruses are not obeying this theory.
*In a nutshell, a law is stable from its' origin. most of the time, it won't change. but theories will change with updating facts of science.
Answer:
r-selected species (e.g., American bullfrog)
Explanation:
The r-selected species (r-strategists) are those species in which their populations oscillate near the carrying capacity, i.e., the maximum population size sustained by a particular environment. These species are generally located in low-quality (less competitive) ecological niches and produce many offsprings that grow rapidly and have low chances of surviving to adulthood. Some examples of r-strategists include amphibians, fish, small mammals, etc. Conversely, K-selected species have more stable populations and produce a low amount of offspring (e.g., large mammals such as elephants).
Answer:
The correct answer is ''All of the choices are correct.''
Explanation:
Pregnant women are a risk group for listeriosis, the disease caused by the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria found in contaminated food. This organism can cross the placenta and affect the fetus. Due to the decrease in cellular immunity, pregnant women are part of the population at risk and are 17-20 times more likely to develop listeriosis after the consumption of contaminated food and it usually occurs from the third trimester and appears as a disease mild with not very high fever, joint and muscle pain. Listeriosis can cause miscarriages during the first three months of pregnancy. As the third trimester is reached, the mother is at greater risk. It presents a 40-50% fetal or neonatal mortality. In the first or second trimester it produces septic abortions and intrauterine fetal death, in the third trimester she produces chorioamnionitis and premature labor. In 1/3 cases it can occur asymptomatically in the fetus / neonate. In newborns, listeriosis can cause blood infections and meningitis.
