Selective logging—the practice of removing one or two trees and leaving the rest intact—is often considered a sustainable alternative to clear-cutting, in which a large swath of forest is cut down, leaving little behind except wood debris and a denuded landscape.

Answer:

Explanation:

Clear cutting can be define as the removal of entire vegetation cover or large forests from a region. But in selective cutting some unwanted trees, bushes, shrubs are cut so as to increase the area for the growth of trees which are of value. Selective cutting is more sustainable than clear cutting because in clear cutting the chances of loss of diversity of plant species is more. Also some species native to a region may get extinct by clear cutting. Hence, selective cutting is more sustainable.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - XDXd and XD Y

Explanation:

Sex-linked disorders are the disorders that are expressed only when there is two copy of the mutated allele or have not masked by the dominant allele of the gene. In DMD, the dominant allele is XD and the mutated allele is Xd. To express it there are the following genotype possible-

in women XdXd, and in men XdY, so these two genotypes are not possible for the parents in this case. If a mutated allele is present with the dominant allele it will be considered as carrier women but diseased will not be found in them.

So the correct genotype would be

mother: XDXd ( a carrier woman)

father : XDY (normal man)

Emily is developing a computer model of protist populations in certain areas of the ocean, and how they help maintain homeostasi
adell [148]

As the question is incomplete and there are no statements available based on which the question can be answered. But based on the knowledge it can be answered.

Answer:

Most of the corals contains photosynthetic algae which are known as zooxanthllae which lives in the tissues of the corals. Algae and corals have mutualistic relationship.

The corals provide algae space to live and algae provides coral  food such as glucose and glycerols to them which are considered as products of photosynthesis.

If the producers are hampered by the catastrophic event then the main source of the food will be hampered. There will be less or no food source for the corals which covers a large area in the marine ecosystem.

There are chances that there will be more load on the other photosynthetic organism in water as there will be more population dependent on them for food.

Hence, if there is a loss of habitat for these protist other levels of food chain will be affected due to inter connection.

Ne4ueva [31]
"So maybe I never really gave myself a fair chance. I did pick up the basics pretty easily, and I might have become a good pianist at that young age. But I was so determined not to try, not to be anybody different that I learned to play only the most ear-splitting preludes, the most discordant hymns"

this is a quote you can use from the book “two kinds” by amy tan that could be considered “encouraging”!

goblinko [34]

Answer:

You drove through Iowa in the spring and noticed that along a stretch of several kilometers, every third fence post had a male red-winged blackbird perched on it defending its nesting territory. This is an example of <u>uniform dispersion.</u>

Explanation:

There are usually three dispersion patterns :

  1. Clumping
  2. Uniform dispersion
  3. Random dispersion

Clumping is the most common.

Uniform dispersion occurs when

  • resources are scarce
  • Individuals are evenly spaced in a habitat
  • Due to competition or territorial behavior

While Random dispersion occurs when resources are plentiful.

Hence ,This is an example of <u>uniform dispersion.</u>
