Answer:

Secondary succession

Explanation:

When a previously occupied area is re-colonized after a natural disaster or human  activities that wiped out the previous community, then the type of succession is called a secondary succession.   A practical example is abandoned farmland that a farmer left for a period of time and later revisited  for farming afterwards.

Because the pioneer organism( sun-loving plants )  were already on ground it will be fast  for them to populate the area,grasses will   sprout up  too. insects, dentritivores, reptiles will move into the habitats.

After 5years;The habitat is populated by  shrubs, which owns the forest floors.  small pine, oak may soon join.a  stable climax community.

Assuming the community is not interfere with  bigger  dominant trees , e,g the oak developed  and other tree  developed to bigger tree , followed by more  insects, birds, rodents, herbivores and some carnivores, This entire sequence of event may take 50 years, to reach this climax community.

The classic "beads-on-a-string" structure is the most decondensed chromatin structure possible and is produced experimentally. W
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

linker DNA

Explanation:

the classic beads on a string structure is termed as the nucleosome; which is the most basic level of chromosome packaging. the nucleosome is made up of 2 molecules each of the four histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, H4) to form an octamer around which a length of DNA is wrapped. linkage of this nucleosome to another nucleosome is done by a length of linker DNA and a linker histone (H1). thus experimentally to produce this structure, the linker DNA between two nucleosomes is degraded by nucleases to extract the structure. thus the linker DNA is not retained after the experiment.

Which of the following structures in a flower is not directly involved in reproduction?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The correct answer is C. The sepal

Explanation:

Plants reproduction includes different types of sexual and asexual reproduction. In the case of sexual reproduction that implies gametes of different plants being fused through fertilization, this occurs through different structures in flowers which are the reproductive structures in many plants. This includes the pistil that produces ovules and it is considered as the female organ in plants, the style, and stigma that are part of the pistil, the statement that contains pollen or male gametophyte and therefore is considered as the male organ and includes the anther and filament. However, the sepal is not part of this reproductive system as these are structures similar to leaves that are in the base of the flower and protect this before it opens or blossoms.

Explain E.O. Wilson's theory of Island Biogeography as it applies to environments other than islands physically
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The theory of E.O. Wilson's theory of Island Biogeography was originally developed as island biogeography, to explain species richness of actual islands, surrounded by water.

It proposes that the number of species found in an undisturbed environment is determined by immigration and emigration. According to him, the species richness will be the same if this island will have an equal number of the immigration and extinction or emigration of species.
