All the organisms on your campus make up
- A. an ecosystem
- B. a community
- C. a population
- D. a taxonomic domain

Introduction:
An organism is the smallest level of organization in terms of ecology. Taxonomically, organisms are divided into many different species.
Answer to Problem 1TYU
Correct Answer:
A community is defined as a geographical area which consists of different populations in a given time period.
Therefore, option (B) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
A campus consists of a many different types of populations. The humans studying there make up one kind of population and others are formed by the different plants, trees, birds, insects etc. A community is also made up of different types of populations within an area over a time period.
Option (B) is given as “a community”.
“All the organisms on your campus make up a community”, it is the right answer.
Hence, the option (B) is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (A) is given as “an ecosystem”.
An ecosystem consists of the non-living matters too, along with the living organisms. However, we are talking only about the living organisms. So, this is a wrong answer.
Option (C) is given as “a population”.
A population consists of organisms of the same species. However, the campus consists of many numbers of species. So, this is a wrong answer.
Option (D) is given as “a taxonomic domain”.
A domain is the highest in hierarchy in the classification system and encompasses a large number of organisms. So, this is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (A), (C) and (D) are incorrect.
All the organisms on a campus make up a community. A community is defined as a geographical area which consists of different types of populations in a given time period.

Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forward

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward
