Answer:

Each and Every species in ecosystem are interlinked their behaviour,mode of getting their food and the uses of natural resouces is known as functional diversity

Explanation:

Biodiversity explains the intensity of an ecosystem in terms of species,food resources and genetically varied species. The levels of biodiversity are several, and each level denotes how different the species genetically and phenotypically,their behaviour, and their mode of food resources in a particular region. The main components of biodiversity are Species diversity,Genetic diversity,Ecosystem diversity and Functional diversity.

Generally species rich ecosystem have high functional diversity because there many species with different behaviours and different mode of food consumption Functional diversity is one of the components of biodiversity it comprises the characters of microbes widespread in an ecosystem.Functional diversity is highly important because of it stability and and nutrient availability to the species. It can be measured by its richness and evenness.

1. Richness: It refers to the dwelling of number of species in a specific niche

2. Evenness: It refers to the organisms in a particular nich how they are evenly distributed

Knowledge about a particular ecosystem reveals its richness and evenness and it provides an individual to know about the diversity of functional characters in an ecosystem

In your own words, explain the difference between physical properties and chemical properties.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Chemical properties are tested on not because of their color or their appearance but how they will react to certain tests. Such as; is it flammable? Could it be toxic? Physical properties are tested on and observed because of the texture, the color, smell and etc.

Hope this helps!

farmer produces two types of corn plants. one has larger sized kernels but fewer yields and another has smaller sized kernels wi

vekshin1

The answer is: insert the gene responsible for larger sized kernels into the genome of the corn with smaller sized kernels and a high yield.<span>

The techniques of genetic engineering are used to introduce hybrid genes for some desired substance or trait into the genome of other organisms. Here, the desired trait is larger sized kernels. So, the gene responsible for this trait will be inserted into the genome of the corn </span><span>with smaller sized kernels and a high yield.

It should be taken into consideration why two other choices are not correct:
1. there are no genes for less or more of something in the genome.
2. genes are part of a genome, so the genome for a trait cannot be inserted into a gene of an organism.</span>

I'll give you an example.

If two tectonic plates clide, more or less in a head-on collision, they form a convergent plate boundary.
Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, which is known as
subduction.
Deep trenches are often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted, and earthquakes are common.
