Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The exponential pattern of growth takes place in an ideal, unlimited environmental conditions, that is, where the resources are abundant. In such an environment, there exists no competition to restrict the geometric rate of growth. At the start, the growth of the population would be gradual, as there will be a lack of reproducing individuals.  

However, with the increase in population numbers, the rate of growth also increases, leading to the formation of an exponential curve. Exponential growth can be witnessed in the populations, which are very small or are confined in the areas that are newly established by a species.  

Thus, in the given question, the growth of the population of elephants, which is safeguarded from hunting and exhibits all the essential resources would be an ideal choice. As other examples, possess external factors affecting their growth. Though both bacteria and sparrow may reproduce at a greater rate, however, the population of elephants would develop at an exponential rate as the species are safeguarded.

Which of the following is a good predictor of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems?
finlep [7]

The correct answer is - predator species in a community.

In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.

The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.

If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.

A mating between a male donkey (2n = 62) and a female horse (2n = 64) produces sterile mules. why are mules sterile?
kirza4 [7]

The horse and donkey, though closely related by sharing a common ancestor, are different species. They have different number of chromosomes hence pairing of homologous chromosomes during fusion of gametes becomes complicated. The mule will have an extra chromosome from the horse hence will have abnormalities such as sterility. A Mule is unable to reproduce due to this same phenomenon. Homologous chromosomes are not well paired for meiosis I.
