Answer:

D) the frequency of rainfall needed for the germination of desert plant seeds

Explanation:

When we talk about abiotic factors, we refer to the non-living factors. The abiotic components of an ecosystem include: Water, air, temperature, light, and the like.

So if we consider it as a limiting factor to population size, this should be the cause of the limitation.

Among all the choices, only D, shows an abiotic factor being the cause of population limiting. Rainfall is an abiotic factor (water), which influences the germination of desert plant seeds, specifically, it depends on the frequency of rainfall.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. During diffusion, when the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, the molecules will <span>stop moving across the membrane. This is because equilibrium has already been achieved and there is no more driving force which is the concentration gradient present.</span>

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

If I am correct it is when the weaker individuals or mutated individuals are killed of by other predators or by nature. Because they cannot survive this is natural selection because they are killed of by nature. Then if they are weak their species will go extinct, thus they are naturally selected to die and only the strong species remain.

If the population returns to its pre-disturbance size, genetic variation is generally ____________ than in the original populati

Maurinko [17]

The answer is lower because having to return to a pre disturbance size will likely affect its genetic variation to be lower compared to the original population where in its genetic variation will be greater compared to those in pre disturbance size.
