Primary succession: <u>is a process by which a community arises in a virtually lifeless area with no soil. </u>
Secondary succession:<u> follows a disturbance that destroys a community without destroying the soil.</u>
Answer:
This could result in a mutation.
Explanation:
A change in the DNA can affect the work of cells because it can cause a mutation; it can be a good mutation or bad. The three main mutations that occur are Insertion, Deletion and Substitution. Insertion is when DNA base(s) are added in, Deletion is when DNA base(s) are removed. Lastly, Substitution is when DNA base(s) are switched on. All of these mutations can have effects. These effects are Silent effect, Missence, and Nonsense. Silent effect is a mutation that does not change the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Missence is a mutation that causes the sequence of amino acids to change. This can cause incorrect protein folding and protein malfunction. Nonsense is a mutation that causes an early stop codon. This effect leads to a protein that is too small. Also a Frameshift can occur. Framshift is when the reading of a frameshift is moved over by one or more bases such that every subsequent amino acid changes. An example of a frameshift is THE CAT ATE THE RAT. If you insert an A at the Beginning this happens ATH ECA TAT ETH ERA T. IN Conclusion there are two Mutations that also play a role in this Point Mutation and Chromosomal Mutaion. Point Mutation is when a single DNA base is either substituted, inserted or deleted from the sequence. Chromocomal Mutation is when large pieces of a chromosome or an entire chromosome is either substituted, inserted or deleted.
The potato crop devastation occurred in Ireland for not using one single potato species.
Explanation:
Potato became the staple crop of 18th Century Ireland and was easy to grow in the soil of this place. Later, it became the most dependent crop of the people of Ireland which made its supply very demanding leading to the yielding of more than one species of potatoes.
This yielding reduced the variety in the genetics of potatoes that helped in preventing the disease that affect potatoes by making the Irish people susceptible to famine. The Phytopthora bacteria affected the potatoes of North America in the year 1840 and Ireland’s moist weather in that same year made the blight to thrive.
A hypothesis is considered scientific if it has something that can be supported or refuted through carefully crafted experimentation or observation
