Argentine ants are invasive ants found in California. They’re aggressive in nature and have a tendency to protect crop pests. In urban areas, Argentine ants don’t have many predators. Argentine ants and the native ant species were observed competing for nutrients in a particular ecosystem. What is a likely outcome of this competition? A. an increased number of Argentine ants B. an increased number of native ants C. no dependence between the populations of the two ant species D. an equal number of Argentine and native ants

German cockroaches, bulging eyes, bu, are recessive to normal eyes, bu , and curved wings, cv, are recessive to straight wings, cv . both traits are encoded by autosomal genes that are linked. a cockroach has genotype bu bu cv cv, and the genes are in repulsion. which set of genes will be found in the most common gametes produced by this cockroach?

In german cockroaches, curved wing (cv) is recessive to normal wing (cv+). bill, who is raising cockroaches in his dorm room, finds that the frequency of the gene for curved wings in his cockroach population is 0.6. in his friend joe’s apartment, the frequency of the gene for curved wings is 0.2. one day joe visits bill in his dorm room, and several cockroaches jump out of joe’s hair and join the population in bill’s room. bill estimates that, now, 10% of the cockroaches in his dorm room are individual roaches that jumped out of joe’s hair. what is the new frequency of curved wings among cockroaches in bill’s room? 0.69 0.4 0.5 0.31 0.20

Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. the continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. when the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. because of this, we would expect to find rocks in the area of a subduction. a) clastic b) igneous c) metamorphic d) sedimentary
