The correct answers are "Animals will migrate to other regions in search of food" & "The new species will evolve to survive in the deforested land".

Whenever an area in a forest is cleared up to build a road or because of any other reason the habitat of the animals residing there is destroyed. So, in search of food and alternate habitat the animals start to migrate to other nearby regions. The destruction of the natural habitat will lead to the accumulation of new traits in the species which are left in the forest leading to the evolution of new species which are well fitted to live in the new environment.

Rest of the options are wrong because if the forest area will be cleared then it will lead to the decrement of trees not increase. Also, adapting the changing environment is a long term change but here they are saying the animals will immediately adapt to the new environment so this option is also wrong.

Animals will migrate to other regions in search of food and the new species will evolve to survive int he deforested land.

Few seeds can be dispersed by more than one method of seed dispersal.’ Explain with suitable examples.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus.

Gravity: A good example of gravity dispersal is the marigold flower. When they are ready, these seeds drop to the ground.

Wind: There are two types of wind dispersal adaptations, the floaters, and the fliers:

(wind) Floaters: The common dandelion is a good example of this type of seed dispersal.

(wind) Fliers: Maple seeds grow in pairs, but when they are mature, they separate, and a strong wind can pull them from the stem

Ballistic: Some common examples of this type of dispersal are garden peas. When the cells grow older, the result is that the pods break open and twist. This twisting actions pops the seeds lose and pushes them away from the pod.

Water: Coconuts have a husk that surrounds the seed. This husk is very buoyant and a coconut seed can float across hundreds of miles of ocean before washing ashore on a new island to germinate and grow into a tree.

Animals: there are also two types of these, hitchhikers and edibles. Seeds that stick to the outside of animals, or are spread when they go out the other end after being eaten:

Hitchhikers: Some examples are cockleburs and foxtail.

Edibles: These seeds are surrounded by good tasting fruit, like apples and peaches.

what are the evolutionary evidence of giant pandas and why did they stop eating fish anymore PLEASE WHEN ANSWERING WRITE DOWN TH

Http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/seriouslyscience/2015/01/29/pandas-ancestors-ditch-meat-bamboo/

According to this study, it may have had to do with the deactivation (technically known as “pseudogenization”) of an umami taste receptor gene. Umami is the taste that makes things like meat, soy sauce, and mushrooms extra yummy. Apparently, at some point in panda evolution, the umami receptor became non-functional. Based on how much the gene has changed, the authors calculate that this happened around the same time that pandas started eating bamboo. Whether it’s cause or effect is unclear, although the authors think the switch to bamboo may have happened before the gene was lost. Regardless, the loss of the gene reinforced the panda’s vegetarian diet because it made meat less delicious to the bears.
