This is called 'controlled' or 'prescribed' burning. Usually fires in the environment are regarded as undesirable and dangerous, but fires actually fulfil an important ecological role, and animals and plants had adapted to a certain frequency and intensity of fires. The seeds of some trees or grasses germinate after forest or grass fires, as the more open conditions after a fire allows the seedlings to compete and avoid being shaded and smothered by more established trees. Unfortunately, farming and forestry practices have in many cases resulted in a reduction of fires. A reduction in the frequency of fires also allows the build up of dead wood, and when a wild fire does occur, the amount of available fuel results in very hot, large and damaging fires. Therefore, management of forests and other environments such as prairies often use controlled burns to avoid the buildup of dead organic mass and to replicate the natural fire cycle.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Not only is water necessary for the physical survival of humans, but many, if not most, human activities also make use of it. Agriculture is critically dependent upon continual supplies of freshwater. Human households also use freshwater daily for cleaning and laundry as well as for transporting sewage to waste treatment plants.

Which type of molecule acts as a signaling molecule in yeasts?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option - mating factor.

Explanation:

Yeast can reproduce sexually by a signaling pathway called the mating factor pathway. Mating in yeast occurs between two haploid yeast cells. In this process, two yeast cells form a diploid cell.

In this process yeast cells secrete a signaling molecule termed as the mating factor that is used to attract them to mating cells to form a diploid cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option - mating factor.

Provide evidence to reject this statement, "Human phenotypes are usually a clear cut either situation"
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Wavy hair is a very easy example that this is false.  It's a merge between straight and curly hair.  Our traits tend to mix and blend together, it's not so simple.  Everybody isn't just tall or short, one or the other.  Everybody is a different height because it's a mid between your parents.
