Answer:

Hay infusion refers to an amalgamation that can be formed by taking samples from different sources like rivers, lakes, ponds, and others. It is one of the best procedures that can elevate the density of the bacteria cell at any specific time interval.  

In the given case, even after boiling hay infusion for one hour, growth was observed in the flask after one day. It can be due to certain factors like the hay infusion may have been comprising some endospore, which is resistant to heat or may comprise some kinds of bacteria that can withstand high temperatures.  

Because of which, even after heating the infusion for one hour, it did not get influenced by the heat and got the chance to grow when it got optimum temperature again at the time when the sample was left as such.

The correct answer is speciation.
Speciation is the term that describes the evolutionary process causing populations to evolve into different species. There are four different types of speciation: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric and sympatric. In this case, the process described is an allopatric speciation, the most common of these four types. Allopatric speciation happens when populations are geographically separated, an event that obstructs the gene flow. Since the gene flow stops, the populations evolve in response to the different environments that they live in.

Can someone help me with facts about rainforests? I have to do a project and I'm stumped.
jeka57 [31]
Rainforest cover only 2 % of the total surface area of the Earth but in spite of that about 50 % of plants and animals that live on the Earth live there.

By definition rainforests are forests that recieve high amounts of rainfall so you can actually find rainforests in Alaska for example (other examples: Canada, Asia, Africa, Latin and South-America)

About 1/4 of natural medicines are found in rainforests. 70 % or more of the plants that are used to treat cancer are found only in tropical rainforest on the planet.

Trees in tropical rainforests are so dense that it takes approximately 10 min for the rainfall to reach the ground from canopy.
