Algae. These pioneer species don't need much to survive, therefore, common pioneer species are bacterial organisms and fungi.

<u>Answer</u>: Algae

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Primary</em> succession is the type of succession which occurs in an area which was previously unoccupied and thus, has no formed soiled substratum.
  • A <em>pioneer</em> species is the one which are the first to colonise an area.
  • Now, when the primary succession has to take place, species like orchids, pineapple trees and sugar cane cannot be pioneer species as they require a nutrient rich and well developed soil substratum for their growth.
  • However, species like algae are very <em>hardy</em> and can begin their growth on nutrient deficient place with the available moisture. These can easily survive in a hostile environment and further pave the way for higher species and increase the diversity of a region.

Thus,<em> in areas where lava no longer flows and primary succession has to take place, only algae can be the pioneer species.</em>

Which of the following statements about hormones are correct? Hormones can be peptides, steroids, or amino acid derivatives. Hor
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct:

"Hormones can be peptides, steroids, or amino acid derivatives."

"Hormones can stimulate the synthesis of target proteins through the activation of specific genes."  

"Hormones can increase the cellular uptake of metabolites."

Explanation:

Hormones are basically proteins that are released under particular conditions to bring about a certain response in the body. They can activate genes and even change how cells respond to metabolites, for instance, insulin and glucagon are two hormones that regulate the level of sugar in the blood. Another example is the hormone adrenaline, which is released in the 'flight-or-fight' response to prepare the body in taking action.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

What will happen to the frequency of the recessive allele for the hbs gene when there is an outbreak of malaroa?
kozerog [31]

The frequency of the recessive allele for the Hbs gene when there is an outbreak of malaria will increase.

The sickle hemoglobin is produced by the HbS gene, a variation of the B-globin gene. A person who possesses two recessive alleles is said to have the genetic condition known as sickle cell anemia.

People who are heterozygous have the advantage of having normal and sickle hemoglobin, so they are more resistant to malaria because malaria will only act on normal hemoglobin, increasing the prevalence of the recessive allele of the HbS gene.

However, the malarial parasite only affects hemoglobin which is normal, making heterozygous people more resistant to the disease. Hence, the frequency of the recessive allele for the Hbs gene when there is an outbreak of malaria will increase.

Why do organisms need both mitosis and meiosis to process?
mihalych1998 [28]

Both mitosis and meiosis processes are extremely important because they are the division of chromosomes and without this division reproduction would not occur. Cell division plays an important role in the life cycle of a cell allowing the cell to grow, develop and then reproduce.
