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.

Briefly explain the process of ammonification.
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Ammonification is the process by which the organically bound nitrogen of microbial, plant, and animal biomass is recycled after their death. Ammonification is carried out by a diverse array of microorganisms that perform ecological decay services, and its product is ammonia or ammonium ion.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

One offspring would have red leaves.

Explanation:

Given

Yellow leaves are dominant and red leaves are recessive

Let us assume that the trait of Yellow color of a leaf be  represented by "Y"

and the trait of red color of a leaf be  represented by "y"

When two parent of genotype "Yy" are crossed with each other, the following offsprings are produced as shown in the punnet square below

Y y

Y YY Yy

y Yy yy

Total four offpsrings are produced out of which only one has red leave as red color is a recessive trait and it will appear only when both the allele in a cell are of red color.

Thus, one offspring would have red leaves.
