State one possible negative impact of importing a natural predator to control a pest

1 answer:

8 0

One negative impact or consequence of importing a natural predator to control pests is that the predator may begin feeding on economically important plant and animal species that were not the target of control. An example is the introduction of mongooses in Hawaii. Sugar cane farmers intentionally introduced mongooses to Hawaii in attempt to bring down the rat population that had risen as result of being attracted by sugar cane. Where sugar cane grows, rats flourish because they love eating the sweet cane. But since rats feed during the night and mongooses feed during the day, the two never met, rather it is the birds in Hawaii that fell prey to the mongooses. The mongooses have wreaked havoc on the bird population creating an ecological disaster.

What happens to a sedimentary rock after tectonic plates push upwards? What would it turn into?

tester [92]

Hi, sounds like it would turn into B). Metamorphic Rock. Igneous rocks are only formed when melted rock hardens and solidifies. Sediimentary rock is formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity or even water. I Doubt it would remain a sedimentary rock so the best answer would be metamorphic rock. Hope this was correct. :)

A DNA template strand contains the following sequence:

Nikitich [7]

Answer: Though the answer were not given, the complementary RNA strand is 5'UCCGAGGUC3'

Explanation: RNA is a single stranded nucleic acid produced from DNA. Four bases are usually found in DNA and they include adenine, Uracil, cytosine and guanine whereas adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are found in DNA. In RNA base pairing, wherever adenine is found in the DNA template strand, uracil occurs in the RNA strand, wherever thymine is found in the DNA template strand, adenine occurs in the RNA strand and anywhere cytosine occurs in the DNA template strand, guanine occurs in the RNA strand. This means that adenine pairs with uracil, cytosine pairs with guanine and thymine pairs with adenine.

What part of the body is not working as it should when you have asthma

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The Lungs

Explanation:

Asthma is a lung disease that affects your airways. With asthma, the lining of your airways is constantly hypersensitive, resulting in redness and swelling (inflammation). It's similar to how sunburned skin turns red, irritated, and sensitive. The airways become hypersensitive to things you are exposed to on a daily basis, or asthma "triggers." a trigger could be a common cold, stress, changes in the weather, or environmental factors like dust, chemicals, smoke, or pet dander.

Airway remodeling can occur as a result of poor asthma management. When asthma is untreated or poorly managed, it can lead to airway remodeling, which is a serious condition. The lungs become scarred, asthma medications become less effective, and less air can pass through your airways. It is not necessary to remodel the airways.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?
