Answer:
D. lower yields of fruit crops, due to decreased pollination
Explanation:
Pesticides are used to kill or stop the growth of insects that are harmful for crops but use of pesticides reduces biodiversity by killing a wide variety of insects.
Insects are one of the important component participate in the process of pollination that increases the biodiversity. insects move from one flower to other flower and spread pollen for reproduction. Due to pesticides some of the insects important for pollination got killed and reduces the pollination process. If pollination process will decrease, it will impact lower rate of reproduction of fruit crop.
Hence, the correct option is "D. lower yields of fruit crops, due to decreased pollination".
Answer:
This question lacks options, options are: a. Keystone species b. Dominant species c. Competitor species d. Omnivore species e. Mutualistic species. The correct answer is a.
Explanation:
The most connected species from a trophic point of view in an ecosystem are keystone species, since their elimination has great effects on the stability and persistence of the network. The Keystone species are those species that play a crucial role in the structure and dynamics of a certain ecosystem and that, in the event of their disappearance, would be seriously unbalanced. These species are responsible for the physical structure of the habitats of many other species, and they play an important role in the succession processes of ecosystems. Elephants play an important role in maintaining the structure and balance of ecosystems in these communities, therefore they are keystone species.
Answer:
C. Paleozoic
Explanation:
Trilobites are a group of extinct marine arthropods. Just like many animals from today, including crustaceans, spiders, and insects, they belonged to the phylum Arthropoda. They lived in the Paleozoic era.
We can make this conclusion based on the fact that the period they existed in (from 521 to 250 million years ago) mostly fits the period described as Paleozoic (from 541 to 252 million years ago). However, we can see that they went extinct in the Mesozoic (250 million years ago is more than 252 million years ago). Compared to the entire time they existed, 2 million years is a relatively small amount of time, which makes Paleozoic the correct option.
Most cells grow, perform the activities needed to survive, and divide to create new cells. These basic processes, known collectively as the cell cycle, are repeated throughout the life of a cell. Of the various parts of the cell cycle, the division portion is particularly important, because this is the point at which a cell passes its genetic information to its offspring cells. In many situations, division also ensures that new cells are available to replace the older cells within an organism whenever those cells die.
Prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria, undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell's cytoplasm. The outcome of binary fission is two new cells that are identical to the original cell.
