Population extinction is a natural occurrence, but because the pace of extinction on a global scale is increasing, understanding extinction is crucial for conservation. To evaluate proposed extinction processes, the rate of extinction in experimental populations of brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) was evaluated. As was predicted, the chance of extinction was decreased by a larger initial population, a larger maximum population size supported by the environment, and less change in environmental variables. However, contrary to popular belief, maximum population size and environmental variation were more significant than initial population size. Unexpectedly, the importance of deterministic population oscillations brought on by inborn nonlinear dynamics and overcrowding was equal to or greater than that of the assumed processes.

<h3>What is extinction?</h3>

Extinction happens when species become endangered due to environmental factors such habitat loss, climate change, natural disasters, human overuse, and pollution, or because of evolutionary changes in its constituent parts.

As part of a science experiment, Jose did a test for starch on a slice of apple and a slice of potato. The yellow-orange iodine
Sever21 [200]
If iodine solution reacts with starch, it will change color into black.
Since the yellow-orange iodine solution stayed the same <span>color when it was put on the apple, it can be concluded that there is no starch in the apple. On the other case, the black color of the potato suggests that there is a great amount of starch in the potato. Anyway, this does not mean that there is no starch in the apple at all. As fruits ripen, starch slowly changes to sugar. Iodine cannot react with sugar, so the black color in the apple is missing.</span>

Describe the process of seed germination
Slav-nsk [51]
Basically the seed contains 2 parts, the testa, which is the seed coat that protects the seed and cotelydon, which is the inside of the seed, containing the radical and plumle.
for seed to germinate, we need 3 basic conditions,
warmth, it is the suitable temperature for seed germination, it can influence the activity of enzymes. providing a optimum temperature
water, to soften down the testa so that the shoot can break out from the testa
and oxygen, for aerobic respiration
.
If these conditions are absent, the seed may be in the state of dormancy. where is won't germinate until it meets the suitable conduction.
after that, the enzyme will digest the nutrient inside the seed and provide amino acid, which is necessary to seed germination. and meanwhile the aerobic respiration provides energy, so that the plumlecan shoot out, and be the shoot of the plant.
and then until it grows leaves, it'll start to complete photosynthesis, instead of using the nutrients inside the cotelydon.

DNA is different from RNA in that
Olegator [25]

Answer:

RNA contains an additional oxygen atom on the ribose sugar. (Ans. C)

Explanation:

RNA contains a sugar which is known as ribose, and which contains an extra group of hydroxyl (OH-) while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar.

RNA contains four nitrogenous bases cytosine, adenine, guanine, and uracil, while DNA contains cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine.

Double helix means two stranded structure like DNA, while RNA is single stranded.

DNA molecule is much longer polymer than RNA molecule.
