Biodiversity Aa Aa Ecologists are interested in quantifying different kinds of biodiversity. In each of the two studies outlined

here, which kind of biodiversity are ecologists studying? Ecologists examine several small areas, called plots, in a Minnesota grassland. In each plot, they list the plant species and place each species into one of five categories. Each category represents a set of ecological processes that are important in a grassland ecosystem. For example, the nitrogen-fixing category includes plants that convert nitrogen in the atmosphere into a nitrogen compound that all of the plants are able to use. The ecologists then compare ecological characteristics among the plots, noting which plot includes plants in more or fewer of these Ecologists examine satellite imagery of South America. By comparing the wavelengths of light reflected by the vegetation, they can classify the vegetation in different regions of the continent. For example, grasslands, deciduous forests, and evergreen forests all reflect light differently in different wavelengths. The ecologists, therefore, are able to map and quantify the extent of the various types of plant

Answer:

Based on the first study it is evident that the ecologists are looking for functional diversity as they are making a note of different functions performed by a distinct kind of species found on different plots.  

On the other hand, based on the second study it is evident that the ecologists are studying the species diversity as with the assistance of different wavelengths of light reflected by the vegetation, they are differentiating between the vegetation found in different parts of the continent.  

The biodiversity helps humans in different ways, that is, by supporting the society in which they live and by maintaining a healthy biosphere. The biodiversity found around helps in the procedure of dead species decomposition, they offer humans with nutritious food, and also acts as natural sieves and clean the water for consumption. Hence, the correct options are 1, 2, and 3.

1. Which offspring are the recombinant offspring in this cross?
muminat
The recombinant offsprings are normally the offsprings containing a combination of the parents allele, result in a genotype that differs from both parents genotype. The phenotype May be different as well although it is likely that the phenotype could be the same as the parents, as seen in the case of heterozygous dominant having the same phenotype as homozygous dominant.
