Why is biological control sometimes considered the best option to control an invasive species, even if there are some risks?

Biology
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b. It is a much cheaper option than other control strategies

c. The negative effects of the invasive species on native species are severe

Explanation:

Biological control is the use of an organism (predator, parasite or pathogen) that attacks another that is causing economic damage to crops. This is a strategy widely used in agroecological systems, as well as in conventional agriculture that uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

In addition to being cheaper, this technique reduces the risk of residues on crops such as fruits and vegetables. The technique is to use a predator or parasitoid of a specific invasive species when the negative effects of invasive species on native species are severe.

The cost of this technique is very low, as there is no need to use chemicals.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

C. -independent, dependent, intervening

Explanation:

Independent variable is defined as the variable that can be changed during the experiment, dependent variable is the variable which is being tested and whose value depends on independent variable and intervening variable impacts the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent.

So, in the given study, ice cream was an independent variable as it can be changed during study and Howard wants to study its impact, fighting was a dependent variable as it is being tested and the temperature was the intervening variable as it is a cause of independent variable and also impacts the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent.

Hence, the correct option is C. independent, dependent, intervening.
