Answer: Option B.

Help control weeds and insect pests.

Explanation:

Insect are the largest group of organisms on Earth. They belong to the phylum arthropoda and class insecta. They have hard exoskeleton, antenna, they have three pairs of legs and their body is divided into head, thorax and abdomen.

Insects are biological resources in that they help control weeds and insects pest.

The insects are use as weed control in that they feed on the weeds i.e they use the weeds as food there by absorbing the nutrients for weeds development, which lead to their inability to survival. Some canivorous insects feed on insects pest i.e use they as food, thereby reducing their harmful effects in the ecosystem.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Insects are vital components of the ecosystem, they are a large and diverse group of organisms.

Insects help to to control weed and insect pests through what is known as biological control. Natural enemies of the pest which are also known as biological control agents include; pathogens, competitors, parasitoids and predators. This biological agents are introduced into a new environment where they do not naturally occur thereby causing a reduction in the population of pests and weeds.

Why does more photosynthesis take place in the ocean than on land
bixtya [17]
Just like plants on land, ocean-going plankton need light from the sun to prosper and grow. But light is absorbed by ocean water, and some colors of light are absorbed more readily than others.That's why nearly all photosynthesis in the ocean takes place in the sunlit upper layers.

Compare and contrast two of the cycles of matter
Akimi4 [234]
The two cycles of the matter are the carbon and nitrogen cycle. Both of them are biogeochemical cycles, it means that the chemicals spend a portion of the cycle in living things and non-living things. They are also common in that they both recycle nutrients that are essential to all organisms. 

They are different in the manner that they cycle. Nitrogen is huge, 78% of the air around us is nitrogen. It cannot be used by plants or animals. Once the nitrogen is used by the plant and make its way to the animal, it can be released to decomposition. 

Carbon has no requirement in processing by bacteria prior to plants and animals being able to use. Plants take carbon dioxide and make it sugar, animals eat the sugar. Some of it is released carbon dioxide that we exhale.

In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles.
tamaranim1 [39]
Ok, colour blindness and blood type are independently assorting traits, that means that having one does not affect having the other, the question even tells you that the traits are on different chromosomes. 

<span>To answer your question we'll have to calculate the probability of both traits in the child and then multiply them together to get the overall probability of both being present in the child. </span>

<span>Let's start with blood type: there are four types of blood type: AB, A, B and O. Blood type is determined by what protein each chromosome codes for: so if one chromosome is I^A and codes for A type protein, while the other is I^B and codes for B type protein, then the overall blood type will be AB. O blood type is recessive, it doesn't code for any protein at all and is given the symbol i. </span>

<span>Since both parents are type A and their first child is type O, you know that both parents are heterozygous for blood type A, meaning that one chromosome they have is I^A and the other is type or or i. For a child to be blood type O, each parent has to give their type O chromosome to the child. There is a 1/2 chance that one parent will give the recessive O chromosome, so for both parents to give their recessive allele the probability is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 </span>

<span>Colour blindness is an X-linked condition, that means that women can be carriers but not manifest the colour blindness because they have one "good" X chromosome which masks the recessive colourblindness gene on the other X. The father cannot have a colourblindness gene or else he'd be colourblind himself, since he's only got 1 X-chromosome. Because dad has healthy eyesight, any girls he has will have healthy eyesight too, since his X will always be healthy and mask the X from mom if she happens to give the recessive colourblind gene. So the probability that the girl will have normal vision is 1/1. </span>

<span>However, it is not a given that the baby born will be a girl, there's a 50/50 chance that it'll be one or the other sex, so we need to consider the probability involved with the child being a girl. this probability is 1/2. </span>

<span>So now we multiply all our probabilities together to calculate what the chances of a normal visioned, type O blood typed girl is: </span>

<span>Normal vision (1) * blood type O (1/4) * girl baby (1/2) = 1/8 </span>

<span>So your probability is 1/8! </span>

<span>Hope this helps :)</span>
