Analyzing interspecific competition
a hypothetical bat species (species 1) lives in a city. another hypothetical bat species (species 2) established a population in the same city after a number of individuals escaped from a zoo. in isolation, each species prefers to roost in buildings that are three or more stories tall.
after species 2 became established in the city, species 1 began roosting only in buildings less than three stories tall, whereas species 2 roosted in buildings three or more stories tall. observersdetermined that the bright streetlights at ground level had previously deterred most bats from roosting in shorter buildings. over many generations of existing in the same city with species 2, species 1 showed changes in eye size and retina structure.
complete the following statements about the two bat species.

1. roosting areas in buildings of any height are the of species 1.
2. between the two bat species occurs because both species prefer the same roosting areas.
3. in parts of the city with only tall buildings (over two stories), of species 1 may occur.
4. roosting areas in buildings that are one to two stories tall are the of species 1 when species 2 is present.
5. the change in the roosting habits of species 1 after species 2 became established in the city is an example of .
6. the competition between the species for roosting areas is an example of a interaction.
7. the changes in the eyes of species 1 are examples of .

You have a solution that contains phospholipid vesicles in a test tube. these vesicles have phospholipid bilayers, but do not contain any membrane transporters. you add a number of different molecules to the solution, and wait a period of time for them to equilibrate. if you could measure the concentration of each molecule, for which of the following would you expect to measure equal concentrations inside and outside of the vesicles? assume for this question that the overall osmolarity inside and outside the vesicles is the same (that is, there is no appreciable diffusion of water across the membrane). (select two answers) an amino acid with a hydrophobic side-chain a small non-polar molecule a negatively charged ion a small polar molecule a small lipid hormone

6. in domesticated cats, the following are independently assorting: normal ears (t) is dominant to tufted ears (t); curved whiskers (c) is dominant to straight whiskers (c); the presence of six toes (s) is dominant to five toes (s); gene for hair length is an x-linked codominant. the three phenotypes for hair length are long (xhxh), medium (xhxh), and short (xhxh); medium is the heterozygous condition. given two parents: ttccssxhxh x ttccssxhy how many different gametes could be formed in the female cat with respect to these four traits? how many phenotypes are possible in the offspring from this mating?

To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern appalachian mountains. the researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (a and b)â€”two within the same population (female a with male a and female b with male b) and two between populations (female a with male b and female b with male a). the proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. for example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). the reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (aa + bb) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (ab + ba). the table provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.
