Apopulation of rabbits inhabits an island that has an active volcano. the volcano erupted and covered the island destroying most of the food resources available for animals living in the area. as the island recovers, the soil no longer allows for these food resources to grow. how will this most likely affect the rabbit population on the island? there will be fewer predators that eat the rabbits, so the rabbit population will quickly grow. other animals will eat less food, so the rabbit population will remain stable. the rabbits will adapt to eating very little food, so the population will increase slowly over time. few rabbits will be able to find food, so the population will die off and become extinct.

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.

What was the purpose of mendel's experiments with dihybrid crosses? a. to determine if dna was a transforming factor b. to determine if traits could be recessive c. to determine if traits affected each other d. to determine if traits had more than one allele

Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of plants’ stems. which is most likely to result in the greatest amount of error in their scientific experiment? a.one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student measures the widths of the same plant stems again by using a different pair of calipers. b.one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student types the measurements as they are taken into a computer spreadsheet. c.one student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a calibrated scale. the other student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a different calibrated scale.
