Which of the following correctly compares the changes that take place in an ecosystem during primary succession and secondary su
n200080 [17]

Answer: B). Primary succession takes place over a long period of time on a newly formed land, while secondary succession occurs quickly in areas that have disrupted by a natural disaster.

Explanation:

A succession is a gradual change that occur within the biotic community due to change in the non-living environmental factors with respect to time until the community establish stability.

A primary succession occurs over a land which was not previously occupied by any living species. The land can be primitive, environmental factors like soil, air and others are not supportive initially. Thus, it takes long time to establish a biotic community.

A secondary succession occurs over a region which was previously inhabitated by colonies of species but disturbed due to natural calamity or human induced disaster. Some of the precursors of life can be found in such region like seeds, spores, roots and others which support new growth and the environmental factors are suitable to support re-establishment of living species. Hence, secondary succession takes place quickly as compared to primary succession.

Assume that the mutation rate for a given gene is 1 × 10−6 mutations per generation. For that gene, how many mutations would be
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

500

Explanation:

Mutation rate is largely known as changes that occur in the frequency of a particular gene over an extended period of time

So given that;

the  mutation rate of a particular gene = 1 × 10⁻⁶

The expected mutations after 500 million sperm are examined will be:

= (1 × 10⁻⁶)×(500,000,000)

= 500

Thus, The expected mutations  = 500
