Answer:
- Two predictors to measure biodiversity: Species Richness and Simpson's Index
- Biodiversity increases ecosystem stability
- It has been shown that natural ecosystems are more stable than monocultures, while isolated human populations are found in highly diverse ecosystems
Explanation:
Two major predictors to measure biodiversity are: 1-species richness and the 2-Simpson's index. The species richness is a count for the total number of the species in a given habitat and/or ecosystem; while Simpson's index is a similarity index that indicates the likelihood that two different individuals selected at random from a sample will belong to the same species, thereby also estimating the biodiversity of a habit and/or ecosystem. Simpson's index takes into consideration the number of species and the abundance of each species. Ecosystems with high diversity tend to be more stable and resilient than ecosystems with low diversity. Biodiversity increases ecosystem stability due to the species asynchrony, which is a strong driver capable of stabilizing multiple processes/functions in the ecosystems over time (e.g., the productivity of the ecosystems over time). In this regard, it has been shown that forests that are highly diverse in the number of species are more productive and stable under stress than monocultures (i.e., agricultural crops), while isolated human populations live in sustainable ecosystems, it is for that reasons that isolated tribes are only found in highly diverse ecosystems.
I think its A. and C. I'm not 100% sure
The blob operon produces enzymes that convert compound A into compound B. The operon is controlled by regulatory gene S. Normally, the enzymes encoded by the operon are synthesized only in the absence of compound B. If gene S is mutated, the enzymes are synthesized in the both the presence AND absence of compound B. Gene S must encode a(n):
a. inducer.
<span>The Phylogenetic trees are also commonly referred to as the Evolutionary Tree. This tree shows the inferred relationship between a certain set of organisms or group of organisms which are called as taxa. The tip of the branch represent the taxa and the node of the branch is for the ancestor. </span>
The two sentences which use coordinate adjectives include:
- The dark, musty cellar was full of mice.
- The dark-haired, hazel-eyed baby was gurgling happily.
<h3>What are Coordinate adjectives?</h3>
These are words which describe the features of the same noun and is usually separated by a comma.
Options A and C have coordinate adjectives such as 'dark' and the 'dark-haired' respectively.
