Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. Scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. However, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. These global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. In Switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. Chytridiomycosis is a fungal disease first identified in 1998 as a cause of massive amphibian deaths. In some severely impacted populations, a few individuals have survived, perhaps because of some natural resistance. If these resistant individuals continue to survive and prosper, new resistant populations might emerge. This would be an example of ________.

Phosphates have been banned in most dishwashing detergents in order to
protect the environment. Why were phosphates removed from dishwasher
detergents?
A. Because they buffer cells from extremes in pH
B. Because they increase the acidity of water and cause acid rain
C. Because they increase the salinity of water and pollute drinking
water
D. Because they cause algal blooms that starve fish of oxygen

Can someone please help me with this biology question?

You are an evolutionary entomologist. You have observed beetles that can raise their abdomens and give off a defensive chemical that generally repels predators. You discover a new species of beetle that raises its abdomen in a threatening way similar to the first species, but no defensive chemical is given off. You are most likely to characterize this defensive strategy as a form of ____. Group of answer choices

eople that have a single allele (gene copy) for sickle cell anemia are typically not sick from the disease and are said to be carriers of sickle cell trait. These people will more often live in the malaria belt of sub-Saharan Africa. The most likely explanation for this is ________. malaria is a cause of sickle cell trait people with sickle cell trait have a better chance of surviving malaria sickle cell trait is passed on to the biting mosquitoes as malaria There is no correlation between a single allele for the pathology and the ability to survive or fight malaria.

In the Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty experiment, the transforming extract from virulent bacteria was treated with DNase, RNase, or protease before being mixed with nonvirulent bacteria. The appropriate control for this experiment is to treat the transforming extract from heat-killed virulent bacteria with:

It is believed that the ratio of cyclic electron transport to Z-scheme photosynthesis changes in response to metabolic demands. If a plant were actively engaged in a large amount of reductive biosynthesis, requiring NADPH, how would it alter these processes compared to a plant just performing the Calvin cycle to produce glucose

In paragraph form (automatic 1-pt deduction if not), explain the evolutionary benefits of sexual reproduction as a means of increasing variation. Be sure to include (a) at least two ways in which sexual reproduction impacts genotype (i.e. genetic effects), and (b) two ways in which sexual reproduction may affect phenotype (i.e. trait effects).

In 1970, Frye and Edidin published research describing the mobility of plasma membrane proteins. They fused mouse and human cells together, creating a hybrid cell, and then examined the localization of mouse and human proteins over time. Initially mouse and human proteins were each restricted to one-half of the heterokaryon, but over time the mouse and human proteins mixed, with each being present over the entire cell surface. What technique did Frye and Edidin likely use to examine the mouse and human proteins
