Answer & explanation:
Primary succession occurs in environments that did not have biological communities in place and present unfavorable conditions for the establishment of life. Examples of these sites are rocks, dunes and newly solidified lava pits.
The pioneer organisms in primary succession are mainly producers and some decomposers.
In <u>dune</u> <u>environments</u>, for example, there are grasses, whose seeds are wind-borne and able to withstand excessive heat, water scarcity and unstable soil, and their roots are firm, preventing these plants from being harmed by the wind.
Sites with <u>rocky</u> <u>surfaces</u> can be colonized by photosynthetic bacteria, fungi or some species of algae. These organisms release substances that alter the substrate, allowing the installation of new species over time.
I think its A (hope i helped)
The second step of the scientific method is hypothesize and predict
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A mutation is any alteration in the genetic sequence of the genome of a particular organism. Mutations in the germline (i.e., gametes) can pass to the next generation, thereby these mutations can increase their frequency in the population if they are beneficial or 'adaptive' for the organism in the environment in which the organism lives (in this case, an insect/bug). The mutation rate can be defined as the probability of mutations in a single gene/<em>locus</em>/organism over time. Mutation rates are highly variable and they depend on the organism/cell that suffers the mutation (e.g., prokaryotic cells are more prone to suffer mutations compared to eukaryotic cells), type of mutations (e.g., point mutations, fragment deletions, etc), type of genetic sequence (e.g., mitochondrial DNA sequences are more prone to suffer mutations compared to nuclear DNA), type of cell (multicellular organisms), stage of development, etc. Thus, the mutation rate is the frequency by which a genetic sequence changes from the wild-type to a 'mutant' variant, which is often indicated as the number of mutations <em>per</em> round of replication, <em>per</em> gamete, <em>per</em> cell division, etc. In a single gene sequence, the mutation rate can be estimated as the number of <em>de novo</em> mutations per nucleotide <em>per</em> generation. For example, in humans, the mutation rate ranges from 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁶ <em>per </em>gene <em>per</em> generation.
