Answer:

A decrease in crop diversity.

Explanation:

Developing genetically modified crops with the purpose of having stronger immunity against weed killer is of major environmental concern. This resistance will help the GM plants survive and use most of the nutrients and resources. Nevertheless, other crop plants, which are growing in the same area, would not be able to survive and this could lead to an overall decrease in crop diversity. Such a decrease in diversity is definitely not good for the biogeochemical cycles.

allsm [11]

Answer:

The soils with earthworms will show a faster rate of ammonification

Explanation:

Originally, the nitrogen released by organisms when they die (or excrete waste products) is organic nitrogen, e.i., amino acids and nitrogenous bases in DNA. Ammonification is the property that decomposer organisms have to mineralize organic nitrogen in order to produce inorganic nitrogen in the form of ammonium (NH4+). In agroecosystems, earthworm activity can increase the ammonification rate. For example, <em>Lumbricus terrestris</em> is an invasive earthworm (which is native to Europe) that has been shown to increase both ammonification and nitrification (nitrate production) rates in the soil of different ecosystems.

storchak [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. differential reproductive success based on inherited traits

Explanation:

Natural selection is the differential reproductive and survival of particular population due to the difference of shared characteristics that are inherited in a specific environment. In other words natural selection is differential reproductive success based on inherited traits.

The term differential reproductive success is suggests that comparing and analyzing successful reproduction rates between groups statistically which means how many individuals of the population left behind due to not inheriting traits require for survival.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A. differential reproductive success based on inherited traits
