An ecologist wants to know if diversity in a forest system is likely to decrease when an invasive species is introduced. This in
vasive species is a fast-growing annual plant that grows on oak trees and kills them. The invasive species can only survive on living oak trees. The ecologist has the original model from this lab and another version of the model which includes transitions that involve the invasive species. To answer the research question, the ecologist should compare species diversity generated by the original model to diversity generated by which model described below? 1) A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to grass.
2) A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to oak.
3) A model in which the invasive has a positive transition rate to oak and oak has a positive transition to grass.
A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to oak.
Explanation:
An invasive species is the one which is non-native to the given ecosystem. Its growth hampers balanced ecological parameters and disturbs food web as well as normal flora.The overall effect of invasive species is decreasing biodiversity in selected ecosystem. As the ecologist needs to understand effect of this invasive species, firstly it is important to understand the transition of oak tress to invasive form. The transition rate is one of the deciding factor to introduce diversity in ecosystem. Also if the invasive form has the ability to revert back to original oak tress it would restore the original ecosystem. Thus a model in which oak has a positive transition rate to invasive and the invasive has a position transition to oak can be selected for the analysis. In other models, the final trnasition to grass would introduce lot of biodiversity in selected ecosystem which would be of little importance to understand transition rate.
Luteinizing hormone specially stimulates cells in the seminiferous tubules to particularly secrete testosterone, which has a role in sperm production and developing male secondary sex characteristics.
Transcription is the process of transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, typically to a messenger RNA (mRNA). During transcription, a particular DNA sequence called 'gene' is used as template to create an mRNA which is subsequently used to synthesize a protein by the process of translation. During this process (transcription), Uracil (U) bases pair with Adenine (A) and replace thymine (T) bases in RNA.
The papaya, especially the green one, is used as a tenderizer in boiling red meat. This is because of the property of papaya's skin and leaves contain enzymes called papain. When this papain get contact to red meat the connecting tissue of the meat easily breaks down.
