Bird species from temperate regions must cope with relatively short breeding seasons. A study examined the relationship between blood testosterone level (ng/ml) and the duration of the egg-laying period (months) in temperate bird species. The scatterplot below displays this relationship, after taking the logarithm of each variable. A plausible value for the correlation between the logarithm of egg-laying duration and the logarithm of testosterone level is

Indicate whether the following statements about the biases in the fossil record are true or false. a) inland species are more likely to be preserved than marine species b) organisms with hard body parts are more likely to be preserved than are those composed soft tissues. c) species that existed over a larger area are more likely to be preserved than species existing over a smaller area. d) organisms that lived very long ago are more likely to be found as fossils than organisms that lived relatively recently e) the fossils of larger organisms are more likely to be found than the fossils of smaller organisms

When the solution concentration on the outside of a cell is greater than thesolution concentrate on the inside of the cell, what type of solution is the cellwithin?

Ascientist is investigating the effects of salinity on fish development. he places fertilized fish eggs in an aquarium that contains low salinity and observes their development. what factor would improve experimental design the most? place the fish eggs in the open ocean because that is the natural habitat include another aquarium that has normal salinity to compare to the low salinity aquarium include an aquarium that replaces salt with sugar to confirm that the effects are specific to salt grow algae with the fish eggs in order to provide adequate nutrients to the developing embryos
