Biodiversity hotspots are the richest and most threatened reservoirs of life on Earth. Thus, the correct option is D.

<h3>What are Biodiversity hotspots?</h3>

Biodiversity hotspots may be defined as the regions of the earth which are rich in biodiversity and possesses the following criteria:

  • The area should support greater than 1500 endemic species of flowering plants or 0.5% of total plants.
  • It possesses a high degree of threat, exploitation, and biodiversity.
  • It must have lost about 70% of the original habitat.
  • A high degree of endemism (restricted habitat).

Therefore, Biodiversity hotspots are the richest and most threatened reservoirs of life on Earth. Thus, the correct option is D.

You have a plant with yellow seeds, which express a dominant phenotype. How would you determine the plant's genotype? Conduct a
Archy [21]
The answer is <span>Conduct a test cross with a purebred recessive plant. 

</span>

Test cross is the cross between an organism with unknown dominant genotype and an organism with known recessive genotype.

<span>Since dominant trait results from a dominant allele, the test cross can determine if an unknown genotype is heterozygous and homozygous dominant. </span>

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allele, then AA is dominant homozygote, Aa is a heterozygote, and aa is recessive homozygote.

<span>According to the Punnett square, if all of the offspring are heterozygote (Aa), then unknown genotype is dominant homozygous (AA). If half of the offspring are the heterozygote, and the other half are recessive homozygote, then the unknown genotype is heterozygote (Aa).</span>

Which situation would most likely increase the carrying capacity for humans
vredina [299]

C. A new source of freshwater

Explanation:

The situation that would most likely increase the carrying capacity for humans in a certain region is the availability of new sources of freshwater.

In ecological terms, the carrying capacity of a place is the the number of people, animals, or crops which a region can support without environmental degradation.

  • A new source of freshwater provides new resources for the ecosystem.
  • In the freshwater, more fishes are available, more plants can grow around and a lot of biological activities can progress.
  • Water is essential for life.
  • Fresh water sources are incentives for choosing to live in a place or not.
  • A fresh water source increases the carrying capacity for humans in a certain region.
