The manila grasshopper has several benefits to ecosystem and humans.

  • In general it facilitates decomposition and regrowth of plants by creating a balance between the types of plants that grow well.
  • Like other animals, grasshopper eats and excretes in the soil. Its waste increases the fertility of the soil and promotes plant growth.
  • Grasshopper body is rich in protein, on its death microorganisms break down its body and enrich the soil and helps plants to grow.
  • Grasshoppers prevent over growth of plants as it consume about 10% of the available plant biomass, thus maintain ecological balance.

How do plate tectonics explain the formation and metamorphic rocks?
Serga [27]

Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock that has been subjected to very high temperature and pressure.

When one of the earth's plates comes in contact with another either by both traveling opposite directions, straight into each other, or from one slipping under the other (subduction zone), the pressure/friction of the plates against each other melts the rocks and after they cool they are metamorphic. Example is in Washington state when the Juan de fuca plate is going under the North American plate the pressure/friction of this melts the rocks which then form metmorphic rock.

12. Recent developments have resulted in the ability to clone cats. Many people argue that cloning offers pet owners comfort in
ipn [44]

Cloning is a process of producing genetically identical organisms through the techniques of biotechnology. Reproductive cloning of animals involves the somatic cell nuclear transfer in which the nucleus from an adult donor cell is transferred to an egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed. It is then incorporated into the uterus of a surrogate animal.

Pet cloning is not acceptable because of the following reasons-

(1) Its a very expensive procces with a high rate of failure.

(2) The clones produced tend to develop health problems. Large Offspring Syndrome (LOS) with very large organs is observed showing problems with blood flow and breathing with respect to heart and lungs, renal failure and other complicated issues.

(3) The clones are susceptible to skeletal abnormalities, higher rates of infection and tumour development. This results in a high mortality (death) rates.

(4) Since a surrogate mother is involved in the process of cloning, they experience a lot of health problems while carrying the embryos and sometimes it can be even killed.

Thus, cloning of pets is not acceptable as it affects both the cloned animal and the surrogate mother which is not preferred. Instead, adopting a homeless pet will provide shelter to another animal with a better nourishment.

We are studying 3 strains of bacteria, with populations p1, p2, p3, in an environment with three food sources, A, B, C. In a day
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The population of each bacteria in 1, 2, 3 are 12, 8, and 7 respectively.

Explanation:

From the given information:

For  food source A; we have:

3P₁ + P₂ + 2P₃ = 58    units of food A ---- (1)

For food source B; we have:

2P₁ + 4P₂ + 2P₃ = 70   units of food B  ---- (2)

For food source C; we have:

P₁ + P₂  = 20   units of food C    ----- (3)

From equation (1) and (2); we have:

3P₁ + P₂ + 2P₃ = 58

2P₁ + 4P₂ + 2P₃ = 70

By elimination method

 3P₁ + P₂ + 2P₃ = 58

-

 2P₁ + 4P₂ + 2P₃ = 70

<u>                                       </u>

<u> P₁  -   3P₂   + 0    = - 12    </u>

P₁ = -12 + 3P₂   ---- (4)

Replace, the value of P₁  in (4) into equation (3)

P₁ + P₂  = 20

-12 + 3P₂ + P₂  = 20

4P₂ = 20 + 12

4P₂ = 32

P₂ = 32/4

P₂ = 8

From equation (3) again;

P₁ + P₂  = 20

P₁ + 8 = 20

P₁  = 20 - 8

P₁  = 12

To find P₃;  replace the value of P₁ and P₂ into (1)

3P₁ + P₂ + 2P₃ = 58

3(12) + 8 + 2P₃ = 58

36 + 8 + 2P₃ = 58

2P₃ = 58 - 36 -8

2P₃ = 14

P₃ = 14/2

P₃ =  7

Thus, the population of each bacteria in 1, 2, 3 are 12, 8, and 7 respectively.

The polymerase chain reaction has revolutionized genetics because
sineoko [7]

Answer: All of these

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revolutionized the field of molecular biology because PCR uses a small amount of DNA as a template.Paired with two primers which side to the target sequence, nucleotides, and thermostable DNA polymerase amplifies a specific region of DNA. In this way a large amount of DNA is obtained from a very small sample.
