<h3>Answer;</h3>

primary ecological succession

A glacier retreats exposing bare rock and allowing communities of organisms such as moss and lichens to move in. This is an example of primary ecological succession.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Primary succession is a type of succession that occurs following an opening of a pristine habitat, for example, a lava flow, an area left from retreated glacier, or abandoned strip mine.
Primary succession occurs in lifeless area; that is regions in which soil is incapable of sustaining life.
The first organisms to appear in areas of primary succession are often mosses or lichens, often known as pioneer species because they are the first species present.

List properties Shared by Metalloids and Nonmetals. Thank you!

devlian [24]

The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties. All metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metals; and have at least one basic oxide. Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or some elements in each category share a range of other properties; a few elements have properties that are either anomalous given their category, or otherwise extraordinary.

Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) have included corn crops engineered to produce a natural pesticide to kill a certain insec

Dmitrij [34]

A downside to this mutant corn wohld be that it would give rise to a presticide-immune strain of the certain insect.

All the non-immune bugs would die, leaving the few immune ones to reproduce. That would result in a overpopulation of immune super-bug that would still be able to go ham on the large, GMO corn, like nothing happened, and still go on to affect native plant populations. That can become a huge problem.

Hope that helped!
