the process by which the structure of a biological community evolves over time. Two different types of succession—primary and secondary—have been distinguished. Primary succession occurs in essentially lifeless areas—regions in which the soil is incapable of sustaining life as a result of such factors as lava flows, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks left from a retreating glacier. Secondary succession occurs in areas where a community that previously existed has been removed; it is typified by smaller-scale disturbances that do not eliminate all life and nutrients from the environment.
D. Cannot repopulate the world with endangered organism
Explanation:
If water did not expand when freezing, then it would be denser than liquid water when it froze; therefore it would sink and fill lakes or the ocean from bottom to top. Once the oceans filled with ice, life there would not be possible.
Answer:
1- C, evolution.
2- D, adaptation.
3-A, gene. (if it is multiple choice, then its A and B.)
4-E, fitness.
Add-on:
sorry if its incorrect, hope this helped you.
All the three elements belong to the same group in the periodic table, that is Group 15 (Va) of the periodic table. They are also known as Nitrogen group element, others are, antimony, bismuth and moscovium. They share certain general similarities in chemical behavior, which reflect common features of the electronic structures of their atoms.
Each element occupies the fifth position among the main group elements of its period, a position designated 15. Also they possess an outermost shell of five electrons. Additionally, they have an unshared, or lone pair of electrons which remains after the three covalent bonds, or their equivalent, have been formed.
