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>

Please explain the difference between a frameshift mutation and a base substitution mutation.
harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift changes every codon past it. A base substitution only changes one codon.

Explanation:

DNA is comprised of nucleotides (A, C, T, G) that make up amino acids. Every three bases is called a codon and represents an amino acid.

In a frameshift mutation, a nucleotide is either added or deleted from the sequence. This offsets the entire sequence after it because the reading frame shifts. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

If another T is added in between the first and second codons, then every codon after will be changed.

ACT>T<GCTATCGTCATC

A substitution mutation is usually less severe, as it only alters one codon in the sequence. These occur when one nucleotide is replaced by another one. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

Let's say the first G is replaced by a T.

ACT>T<CTATCGTCATC

As you can see, none of the other codons changed.

Typically, a frameshift mutation is considered worse than a substitution mutation.

Vadim26 [7]

the only reason i am wasting one of the two answers your post is allowed to get is because its been 3 hours and no one has answered yet.

Where do you go to school? I think it is very coincidental that you have the exact same question i do, and you had the question exactly when I got the question...about 3 hours ago. Now it IS a curriculum so its not that weird, but by any chance are you in K12? 8th grade?

The average distance across an ocean is 16,000 km.Two continents on either side of the ocean are con-verging at a rate of 10 cm/
solmaris [256]
The average distance is 16,000 km
Converging rate is  10 cm/year
1 km = 100,000 cm
 = 16,000 × 100,000/10 cm/year
= 160,000,000 years
It will then take 160 Million years to collide.

Carlita was hired today for a job as a laboratory assistant. She will work for professor of molecular biology who wants to make
Over [174]

Answer: Option C) Determining the link between genes and the traits they influence.

Explanation:

First, the field of molecular biology seeks to understand the relationship between genes and proteins. Now, since genes are specific sequences on the DNA that codes for functional proteins, and these proteins make up the various traits physically expressed in living organisms such as skin color, blood group etc.

Then, the specific research goal of Carlita would be determining how genes control the expression of individual traits at the molecular level
