Answer:

The principal difference is the amount of organic content in the soil

Explanation:

In warm places of the world there is a lot of life, there we can find big forests where are living thousands of animals and plants; when this organisms die they rest on the ground and start a descomposition until become part of the soil. This kind of soil is very dark, almost black, is humid and very rich in nutrients and minerals.

The Antartic weather doesn't allow a lot of life to be there and for that reason its soil has a poor amount of organic content. Besides, the climate there is considered dry and its soils have not enough amount of water.

There are differences related with the rocks under the soil, but actually we have all kind of rocks all over the world, so it is not the most important difference.

Answer:

A) The gene flow between hatchery-reared and wild populations is leading to a decline in fitness of wild populations.

Explanation:

<u>we have relative fitness at its greatest in trouts whose parents are wild x wild. crossing the wild with hatchery reared causes a decrease in the fitness of the troutgene flow is the exchange of genes between two different breeds. the wild is a greatly diverse breed and it is highly adaptive. while the hatchery reared is less adaptive.when these two breed less fit alleles will then be transferred to the wild</u>
