Answer: Tundra biome

Tundra biome is the coldest biome of the world. It is dominated by snow. The white wolf is also called as polar wolf and artic wolf. This animal species is native of Artic tundra biome located in the North America. These animals are adapted to survive in harsh winter conditions. They exhibit adaptations like small ears to minimize the surface area to volume ratio (less surface area will prevent the loss of heat), they have thick fur which is highly insulating, fur on the paws to provide them insulation and increase grip in otherwise slippery surface of ice, and thick layer of body fat keeps the body insulated against harsh external winter environment.

For a white wolf, I suggest the Tundra Biome. The wolf's fur blends in with the snow, making it unable to be seen.

Following the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, bioremediation was used to eliminate much of the oil fro

Katena32 [7]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A)The concentration of sulfate in the Gulf of Mexico is sufficient for the growth of oil-degrading microbes.

B)Large amounts of iron were needed, as iron is a macronutrient for oil-degrading microbes.

C)Nitrogen gas (N2) present in air is not in a form that can be used by oil-degrading microbes.

D)The oil-degrading microbes used oil (hydrocarbons) as their carbon source.

Answer:

Large amounts of iron were needed, as iron is a macronutrient for oil-degrading microbes.

Explanation:

Bioremediation refers to a process which is performed to detoxify the natural terrestrial or aquatic habitat full of contaminated particles using the biological source like the plants, animals or microorganisms.

In the given question, the accident in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 contaminated the aquatic body with oil so the bio-remediation technique was used to detoxify the water.

The oil-consuming bacteria were used to as bioremediation which could use the oil as a source of carbon.

The bacteria uses the support of the oxygen in anaerobic respiration and the fertilisers were added to the water to provide a source of nitrogen and iron. The iron is used by the bacteria in its growth but it is not considered a macronutrient for the bacteria and thus is considered false.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Is a rabbit a second level consumer or a first level consumer

vagabundo [1.1K]

Primary consumer because rabbit is a hervibore, which feed on plant. Rabbits eat vegetables.

Answer:

In biology it refers to observed changes in organisms, to their descent from a common ancestor, and at a technical level to a change in gene frequency over time; it can also refer to explanatory theories (such as Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection) which explain the mechanisms of evolution. Natural selection

There are two major components to the theory. The first is the mechanism of natural selection, which was proposed independently by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace in 1858.

In the same way artificial selection occurs when breeders choose seeds or studs that will improve their stock in the next generation, natural selection is the process of sorting living things according to how well adapted they are to their environment.

In the case of artificial selection, humans choose which traits are desirable. In the case of natural selection, traits that increase the likelihood of survival and reproduction will become more common within a population or species over time.

In the past, natural selection has been misrepresented by calling it the survival of the fittest. This statement oversimplifies the mechanism by making it sound like a tautology: the survival of those who survive.

The truth is that individuals never survive. What survives is the process for making another individual, and this resides in genes found in populations.

Natural selection has more to do with differential reproduction than survival, and what it selects are the genes that code for desirable traits or characteristics. The interaction of individuals with their environment provides a mechanism for sorting out which traits (not which individuals) will be passed on to the next generation.

Nature of inheritance

The second major component to the theory is the nature of inheritance, which follows the insights made by Gregor Mendel in 1865 and has advanced considerably since then due to our understanding of genes, DNA and the molecular processes of life.

When natural selection was first formulated by Darwin, the nature of inheritance was not understood. Our current understanding of inheritance is very sophisticated and includes the precise mechanisms for passing genes on to the next generation, how genes are modified by mutation and how they are shared among sexual species.

If we know enough about a gene and its various forms, it is possible to accurately predict the change in the frequency of those genes over time using mathematical formulae from population and evolutionary genetics theory.

This alteration of gene frequencies is subtle and does not, at first glance, seem worthy of being called evolution. But it is precisely these small changes at the genetic level that lead to large changes in the organisms that carry them.

The sorting of genes affects the fate of populations: populations drift apart and become species, and species diverge to create whole groups of plants or animals that dominate the landscape for millions of years.

The intricate details of cellular processes are responsible for the glorious and majestic diversity of life on our planet.

The theory of evolution includes large changes over vast periods of time and tiny changes made when one cell divides into two.

These processes form a continuum that is the history of life on Earth

Can someone explain to me what chromosomes are, and also explain briefly and understandably grade 10/ 10th grade biology term 1

Vanyuwa [196]

Chromosomes are what the mother and father donate to the fetus in order to compose your basic genetics

The father gives half which is 25 and the mother gives 23

The reason for this is when a baby is being created it is given a gender. That gender is either boy or girl the boy has an added chromosome at the near middle of gestation and the girl lacks that last chromosome so thats why the father gives more chromosomes than the mother

Imagine a hypothetical forest like the one you simulated, where medium-sized fire disturbances occur with intermediate frequency

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Mosses or lichens.

Explanation:

Mosses or lichens are the group of species have great impact on the long term dynamics of succession if they develop resistance against fire events because these species can used the ashes of other plants as a nutrients for their growth and development. These group of species spread at a higher rate which covers most of the area of the forest and become a dominant species in the forest. Due to the presence of these species, the organisms who feed on these species comes to these forest and slowly the diversity of the forest is attained.
