Chapter 42, Problem 13TYK
Discuss Concepts In integrated pest management, a farmer uses a variety of tools to combat unwanted insects. These include applications of either hormones or hormone-inhibiting compounds to prevent insects from reproducing successfully. How might each of these hormone-based approaches disrupt reproduction?

Which of the following statements best describes the advantage of sexual reproduction in organisms?
It reduces genetic variation, which may be useful in the future.
It prevents adaptation in a changing environment.
It yields offspring with novel combinations of traits.
It eliminates the possibility of harmful traits being passed on.
tnf: Which of the following statements best describes the functions of villi and microvilli?
Villi and microvilli form the inner layer of epithelial tissue in the small intestine and increase the absorption of nutrients from chyme.
Villi and microvilli absorb food through the small intestine via smooth muscle contractions called peristalsis.
Villi and microvilli increase the surface area of the small intestine, which increases the absorption of nutrients by diffusion.
Villi and microvilli increase the surface area of the small intestine, which aids in the absorption of bile salts and vitamin B12.
Which of the following statements are true?
a. ) Almost all invasive species are plants.
b. Invasive species multiply rapidly and may displace native species in a community.
c. Invasive species have no predators or parasites in their new ecosystem
d. All introduced species are invasive.
e. In sexual reproduction, the offspring have the same combinations of genes as their parents.
f. Sequential hermaphroditism occurs when an animal is one sex during one phase of its lifecycle and the opposite sex during another phase
Give two possible reasons (hypotheses) why pest control specialists experience fewer fatalities from stinging insects, despite having many more encounters with them.

- Is the following case study an r-strategist or a K-strategist? American toads practice explosive reproduction. During the first warm days in spring, both males and females migrate from forests and converge on ponds. Reproduction is quick, taking only a few days. Females lay hundreds of eggs in jelly-filled sacks along the sides of the pond or stream. As soon as the eggs are laid, males and females abruptly leave the pond. Offspring are left to develop, hatch, and grow on their own, maturing in about three months.arrow_forwardA federal agency has put you in charge of devising responses to the invasion of zebra mussels and quagga mussels.

- The pesticide DDT was widely used in the 1940s as a method of insect control. In the late 1950s the first DDT-resistant mosquitoes were discovered, and eventually DDT-resistant mosquitoes were found globally. When DDT is used now, the development of DDT resistance in mosquito populations occurs in months rather than years.Which of the following best explains the observations concerning DDT resistance in mosquitoes?* nd 2 chool The proportion of DDT-resistant mosquitoes in a population remains constant due to O the metabolic costs of DDT utilization DDT is a chemical signal that delays normal reproductive cycles in many mosquito populations. Natural selection favors DDT-resistant mosquitoes that are already present in a population when DDT exposure occurs. Competition for limited resources causes mosquitoes to migrate to geographical areas that have richer supplies of DDT. A population of 1.492 finches is intróduced to a rainforest. Over the next year, the finches show a death rate of…arrow_forwardSerotonin has been shown to be sufficient to trigger the development of the gregarious form of the migratory desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria).

- forest sites than in forest fragments, whereas there were no significant differences between fragments of different sizes. These results provide further evidence for the effects of habitat size on the phorid-Acromyrmex system in a tropical rain forest, based on the abundance of parasitoids both as adults in the field and as reared immature phorids in the laboratory. Phorid parasitized leafcutter ants were most abundant in areas of continuous forest, and less abundant in the forest fragments. O Phorid flies are important parasitoids of leafcutter ants nd leafcutter ants can be found in Brazil's Southeastern Both phorid flies Atlantic Forest. The study provides evidence that this parasitoid-host interaction between phorid flies and leafcutter ant differs between continuous forest and forest fragments. Phorid flies were just as abundant in forest fragments as they were in continuous forest, but were less successful in parasitizing leafcutter ants.arrow_forwardGive detailed Solution with explanation needed of all options..don't give Handwritten answer..don't use Ai for answering this....give correct answerarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly identifies the differences between spermicidal jelly and a condom? Select one: a. Condoms are semipermeable membranes whereas spermicidal jelly does not form any barrier. b. Condoms contain an antibacterial coating while spermicidal jelly only kills sperm cells. c. Condoms form a barrier to protect against sperm movement as well as viruses. Spermicidal jelly breaks down cell membranes of bacteria. d. Condoms prevent the physical transfer of most sexual secretions. Spermicidal jelly kills sperm, but allows fluid transfer.arrow_forward
