I'll answer number 3 for you.
Which are decomposers within a spruce-fir forest ecosystem?
the answer is mushrooms.
Some mushrooms are known for growing over dead things..... I think.
Ring species.
When there are neighbouring populations that can interbreed with each other while only two of those populations cannot breed between them, we are standing before a ring species. In the case of Larus gulls what is observed is that several of these species can interbreed, but it comes to two of them that are incompatible - they are probably to<span> distantly related to interbreed. It is considered, that this species may be connected to each other in a line of derivation and is both ends on that line that are incompatible.</span>
Answer:
minerals are not man-made. They are naturally occurring. Minerals concocted in the the lab do not count although there are about 208 man made minerals discovered around mines
I can’t help you with the first two questions, as I do not have a reference, but I can help you with the last two. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive trait. It is caused when specific sections of both copies of chromosome 8 are deleted, which in other words mean that it is not a sex-linked disorder because it isn’t inherited from the mother and father of the offspring.
No, all mutations are not bad. Only a small amount of mutations cause genetic disorder. Some in fact are good mutations. There is actually one mutation that is found roughly in 10% of Europeans which affects the CCR5 protein and it prevents HIV from entering the cell!
