Answer:
Natural selection
Explanation:
Sexual selection refers to the natural selection where the allele frequencies of a population are changed due to nonrandom mating between the individuals. Certain preferences for the mate by organisms result in sexual selection. It is mostly exhibited by females.
For example, peahen prefers the peacocks with elaborate tail features as their mate. The sexual selection also occurs when there is competition among the members of the same sex for a mate. This type of sexual selection is mostly exhibited by males and results in fighting and display.
When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation.
Answer:
All responses are correct
Explanation:
1- This process of chemical extraction produces release of toxins that are toxic to other life forms
2- Sponges are critical organisms in the nutrient cycles
3- Sponges provide habitat for other species (fish, crustaceans, etc)
4- Sponges have the ability to regenerate when they are separated into pieces
The answer is D. In a
geological era, when the plants and animals
in the then environment die, they get buried
in sediments. These sediments are covered
by other sediments of another geological
time within which are the remains of dead species
of the then geological era. These sediments from different geological times have different properties hence
form visible strata that can be studied to identify the kind of environment in the then geological time. Their
fossils can also be studied to identify
the kind of species that roamed the earth during the time.
