Answer: Population distributions may be described as random, uniform or clustered.

Explanation:

In a specified region, a population comprises any number of members of the same species. Populations are described by sizes- the number of individuals; densities- individuals in a set space (per unit area); and distribution- the dispersal or non dispersal of individuals (spread out or clumped). Population distributions may be described in three ways:

Random: the distribution pattern is haphazard, with no regular spacing; individuals grow independently of each other without competing and resources are consistent. E.g. dandelion seed dispersal by wind

Uniform: individuals are evenly spaced in a predictable pattern; there may be some interaction and ideally, spaces between them are maximized in order to ensure access to limited nutrients and resources. E.g. human farming- cornfields, orchards; allelopathy in plants like purple sage, which secretes chemicals to prevent the growth of other plants nearby

Clumped: there is less distance between neighboring organisms and these individuals cluster together. This pattern is most common in environments where resources are scarce, or the species is dependent on social interactions. E.g. lions are highly social and hunt in prides in the wild

Answer:

The three types of population distribution are uniform, random, and clumped.

Uniform distribution is rare. Individuals are evenly spaced and there is fierce competition for resources.

In random distribution, some individuals are close together, and some are spread apart. This occurs when there are sufficient resources available.

In clumped distribution individuals are clustered around patchy resources. This is the most common type of distribution.

Answer:

I think it all comes down to a moral or religious point of view. Also It poses a risk to civilization as we don't know exactly the consequences of doing such a huge thing. We don't know the dangers of human cloning and what could go wrong if unsuccessful.

You have eaten daal at lunch. Make a list of enzymes it will be acted upon and changes it will undergo before being absorbed in

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Amylase and protease enzymes act on daal eaten at lunch.

Explanation:

Daal is the Indian name of pulses. Pulses contains both protein and carbohydrates in large amount and our body cannot absorb these nutrients due to bigger size. For the absorption of these nutrients, they can be broken down into simpler substances with the help of enzymes. Amylase enzyme helps in the break down of carbohydrate while protease enzyme is responsible for the break down of protein.

A cubit is an ancient measurement that measures length

the problem with using cubits is that the size may vary so it isn’t precise

the benefits of standardizing measurement is that they are precise and do not vary unlike the cubits

List 2 types of weathering and list all examples

joja [24]

Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical.
