No, the earth’s axis is tilted. This is why we have seasons that are opposites between the north and South Pole.

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

The earth rotates around an imaginary axis, which is known as the rotational axis and is tilted at an angle of 23.5°.

On the other hand, the plane of the orbit of the earth is usually defined as a plane which comprises the earth's orbital plane.

This axis of earth's rotation and the orbital plane of the earth are not parallel to each other. They are oriented at some angles to one another. Due to this tilt of the earth and orbital plane, there occur seasons on earth such as the summer, autumn, winter, and spring.

Thus, they are not parallel to each other.

What would most likely increase the genetic variation in a population of<br> organisms?
kati45 [8]
Gene duplication, mutation, or other processes can produce new genes and alleles and increase genetic variation. New genetic variation can be created within generations in a population, so a population with rapid reproduction rates will probably have high genetic variation.

Which of the following is a decomposer?
faltersainse [42]

According to an answer from another and a bit of my own research;

A decomposer is exactly what it sounds like, an organism that decomposes something and feeds off of it. You can eliminate the answers "Owl" and "Hawk" from a first glance as they are both consumers. Looking at it again, an "Ant" is <em>not </em>a decomposer, but rather, a consumer just like your other two options. This leaves "Fungus", something that decomposes it's food.

Please forgive me if I'm wrong. Feel free to ask for more information and I will scour the internet to see what I can find. <3
