Answer:

d. All of the above exemplify the difference between a population and an individual.

Explanation:

A population is a group of individuals of the same species that live in a particular geographical area and are able to interbreed. A population is described with respect to several features such as death and birth rates, age structure, density, dispersion, change in the population size due to density-dependent and density-independent factors and the survivorship curve.

These features are not exhibited by a particular individual. Natural selection also works at populations. The evolutionary forces act upon populations to change their allele and genotype frequencies. Therefore, populations are the unit of evolution and change genetically over time, not the individuals. Population ecology studies the size of a populations and the trends and causes of changes in the populations over time.

If humans had been present to build log structures during the Carboniferous period (though they were not!), which plant types wo

aliina [53]

Answer:

The plant types suitable during that period would be ferns, horsetails, and lycopods.

Explanation:

A geologic period and system, which covers 60 million years from the termination of the Devonian period to the start of the Permian period is known as the Carboniferous period. During the Carboniferous period, the plant life was luxuriant and extensive, mainly at the time of Pennsylvanian. It comprises ferns and fernlike trees, that is, the giant horsetails known as club mosses, calamites, or lycopods like Sigillaria and Lepidodendron.

Thus, if humans had been present to construct log structures during the Carboniferous period, then they would have used logs of ferns, horsetails, and lycopods for construction work.
