Canopy fogging is a techniques of spraying of pesticides such as pyrethrine in the canopy of tall trees of forests.

Pros of canopy fogging are:

• It kills the insects very rapidly and the falling insects are collected for investigation.

• These pesticides are not harmful to other animals such as birds on the trees

• The natural pyrethrine is safe to use because it breaks down by UV-radiation within 10 minutes.

Cons of canopy fogging are:

• Canopy fogging can be done only during night.

• The night should be windless or calm weather.

• Inhalation of fog may cause irritation in lungs causes breathing problems.

A genotype is controlled by the sex cells combining to form an organism. True or False

myrzilka [38]

True

A genotype is the combination of genes in its DNA of the organism that determines its traits

Explanation:

Gametes from parents contribute different alleles of genes to their offspring. This why gametes carry only one copy of genetic material of the organism. They later fuse to form a zygote with a full genetic copy and capable of developing into an full organism.

Depending on which kind of alleles the parents pass down to the offspring will determine the offspring's genotype. The genotype of the offspring will, on the other hand, affect its phenotype which is the outward characteristic. An example is the sickle cell trait. If both gametes from the parents contribute the recessive alleles of the gene, then the offspring will be homozygous recessive for sickle cell genotype and this will show in the phenotype pf the person who will have sickle cell shaped blood cells.

Climax community- most stable community that takes hundreds of years to develop. The types of organisms change due to __?__.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

competition

Explanation:

An ecological community is a naturally occurring group of native plants, animals and other organisms that are interacting in a unique habitat. Its structure, composition and distribution are determined by environmental factors such as soil type, position in the landscape, altitude, climate and water availability(Department of Agriculture).

A climax community refers to the last stage of ecological succession in which the community remains relatively unchanged unless it is destroyed by events such as fire or human interference.

Competition between species in the same habitat is an important biotic factor in discussing ecological succession and the emergence of climax communities. Competition leads to a drop in the diversity of species in a given ecosystem because the dominant species live on and reproduce while the other species die off.
