Explanation:

The community may enter primary succession.

Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:

  • colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
  • becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
  • there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)

The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.

Like the harvested climax forest, secondary communities do not begin with the removal of soil and all biological life; other species, may be more suited to the altered conditions and begin to modify the area creating a new community.

However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.

Legionnaires disease is a type of lung inflammatory disease or pneumonia, which is caused by infection from the bacteria Legionella bacterium.

Legionella bacterium can be spread by inhalation from water or soil. People with weakened immune systems are most susceptible as are smokers. Untreated legionnaires disease can progress to a fatality.

Some of the questions to ask of a victim or of surviving relatives include;

1) Any visits to swimming pools?

2) Source of drinking water?

3)Any visits to fountains?

4) Contacts with victims and their personal belongings?

5)Is any relative or victim immunocompromised? Do they have diseases that might lower their immune response?

6) Are they smokers?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

<h2>(14+16)/1000 *100= 3</h2>

Explanation:

Parental combinations are always more common then other recombinant progenies.

A female fly is heterozygous for three X-linked genes crossed with an abc/Y male. . If single crossover occurs between a & b  and between b & c, then the double cross is that, which occurs in both.

Double cross over progeny are always least in number, so here double cross occurs are in abC 14 and ABc 16.

So we are expecting that number of double cross over progeny= (14+16)/1000 *100= 3
