The insect is using mimicry.

This evolutionary trait increases the fitness of the insect as it creates a camouflage and fools predators.

I hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)

Question
An octopus is a member of the cephalopod group, which is a type of marine animal that has a special organ from which they shoot water at high rates. this jet of water propels their body forward. how does this animals method of transportation demonstrate the 3rd law of motion?
Solution 1
The third law of motion says: for every action, there is and equal and opposite reaction. In the case of the octopus, this is nicely demonstrated with it's method of travelling. The octopus makes an action, which is it shooting water at high rates in a certain direction, and the equal and opposite reaction is that the octopus's shooting of water in certain direction, moves him into the opposite direction with the rate that it is shooting the water.
Question
An unlearned behavior directly linked to a stimulus that is carried to completion once initiated and is essentially unchangeable is _____. see concept 51.1 (page 1138)
Solution 1

A fixed action pattern is a behavior that is carried out to completion once started, regardless of changes in the original stimulus and the sequence is unchangeable. The unlearned behavior of fixed action patterns are triggered by a type of external stimulus that start off a particular organism.

Question
A central nervous system depressant that produces a false feeling of well-being and efficiency and results in slower reaction time to stimulation is ________.
Solution 1

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that produces a false feeling of well-being and efficiency and results in slower reaction time to stimulation. Alcohol influences the brain activity and consciousness by hindering the flow of messages from nerve receptors to the brain. This thereby changes one’s perceptions, emotions, and senses.

Solution 1

A serious, inflammatory condition in which the colon mucosa protrudes through the colon wall is called diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is a related digestive condition that affects the colon. This condition occurs when naturally weak part of the colon tears which result in inflammation or infection. Symptoms of diverticulitis include severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea and constipation.






Question
Which of the following icons is used to represent a male affected with a disease? A half-filled circle A half-filled square A completely filled circle A completely filled square
Solution 1
I believe a completely filled square represents a male affected with a disease.
A half-filled circle represents a carrier female, while a a half filled square represents a carrier male and a completely filed circle represents an infected female with a disease. Normally these are shown in a human pedigree which shows the occurrence an appearance or phenotype of a particular gene or organisms and its ancestors from one generation to the next.
Solution 2
The answer is a completely filled square, due to the fact that a circle represents female so generically a square would be male. An empty shape has no traces of the disease, half filled shape is a carrier of said disease, and fully filled shape has the disease.
Question
After the industrial revolution, dark-colored moths outnumbered light-colored moths in certain regions of england. within the past 40 years, factories in these regions have added scrubbers and air purifiers to their smokestacks, and the relative number of light-colored moths has increased. the probable reason for this increase is that
Solution 1
The reason for the increase is that the light-colored moths are no longer "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against a sooted background. After removing the dark soot, these predators could no longer distinguish the light ones from their natural light background. Thus more light-colored moths survived to reproduce, passing on more of their recessive genes for light color to their offspring. After several hundreds of generations, most of the later generations were light, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.
Question
Which organelle is responsible for making lipids and aiding in detoxification of cells? A. Golgi apparatus B. smooth endoplasmic reticulum C. rough endoplasmic reticulum D. ribosomes
Solution 1

Answer:

B. smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a member of the endomembrane system. It is present in eukaryotic cells. SER is made of tubular structures called cisternae. It does not contain ribosomes. So, it does not associated with protein synthesis.  Its primary function is to make lipids, steroid hormones and detoxification of the metabolic by-products which are harmful. The fats or lipids synthesised by SER helps in membrane biogenesis.

Solution 2
The Golgi apparatus is the only organelle that produces, modifies, packages, and then delivers a product throughout the cell.
Question
