There are two distinct Cryogenian ice ages called Sturtian glaciation between 750 and 700 million years ago, followed by the Varanger (or Marinoan) glaciation, 660 to 635 million years ago which covered the earth ice. Also the Global sea level has fluctuated widely in the recent geologic past.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Cryosphere is the part of the earth’ surface where the land areas exits in the solid form  when the warming temperature low. The snow and ice covers the 10% of the earth permanently in the ratio of 60% in northern hemisphere and less than in snow in southern hemisphere.

Its is formed due to lesser warm temperature. snow and the ice covered on the surface it store the fresh water under the floating ice, most of the fresh water is present in the two major ice sheets Antarctica and Greenland.

Melting ice does not cause any impact on sea because it was already floating on the sea surface. If the temperature become warm, its melt on the ocean itself.

What is genetic biodiversity?
Nady [450]

Answer:

So it would be the first one, The variation in biological factors affecting a species.

Explanation:

Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species, it ranges widely from the number of species to differences within species and can be attributed to the span of survival for a species.

All forms of life on earth, whether microbes, plants, animals, or human beings, contain genes. Genetic diversity is the sum of genetic information contained in the genes of individual plants, animals, and micro-organisms. Each species is the storehouse of an immense amount of genetic information in the form of traits, characteristics, etc. The number of genes ranges from about 1000 in bacteria to more than 400 000 in many flowering plants. Each species consists of many organisms and virtually no two members of the same species are genetically identical.

An important conservation consequence of this is that even if an endangered species is saved from extinction it has probably lost some of its internal diversity. Consequently, when populations expand again, they become more genetically uniform than their ancestors. There are mathematical formulas to express a genetically effective population size that explain the genetic effects on populations that have gone through a bottleneck before expanding again such as the African cheetah or the North American bison. Subsequent inbreeding in small populations may result in:

a) reduced fertility and

b) increased susceptibility to disease.

Genetic differentiation within species occurs as a result of sexual reproduction, in which genetic differences between individuals are combined in their offspring to produce new combinations of genes or from mutations causing changes in the DNA. Genetic diversity is usually mentioned with reference to agriculture and maintaining food security. This is because genetic erosion of several crops has already occurred leading to the world's dependence for food on just a few species. Currently, a mere 100-odd species account for 90% of the supply of food crops, and three crops – rice, maize, and wheat – account for 69% of the calories and 56% of the proteins that people derive from plants.

Coach Taylor is trying to explain the negative side effects smoking has to athletic performance. Which of these options include
Darina [25.2K]

Smoking have life-threatening effects on a smoker's lungs. A smoker is at a high risk of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In order for a coach to explain the destructive effects of smoking on the performance of the athletes, it is best to show a diagram of the flow of the oxygen-rich blood in a non-smoker's body and then the flow of blood with less-oxygen in smoker's body. This will show the difference between the two situations clearly, and show how the airway resistance effects the performance of a person.

Hence, the answer is 'option C - Diagram the flow of oxygen-rich blood in non-smoker's body and the, diagram of flow of blood with less oxygen in smoker's body'.

Explain how each pair differ in meaning. Exponential growth, logistic growth
wel

Exponential growth = individuals are not limited by food or disease; the population will continue to grow exponentially; Logistic growth = the population begins to grow exponentially before reaching a carrying capacity and leveling off.

1. what is the difference between  facts theory and hypothesis
ioda

Answer:

1. Fact: Observations about the world around us. Example: “It’s bright outside.”

Hypothesis: A proposed explanation for a phenomenon made as a starting point for further investigation. Example: “It’s bright outside because the sun is probably out.”

Theory: A well-substantiated explanation acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation. Example: “When the sun is out, it tends to make it bright outside.”

3. As a field of science, biology helps us understand the living world and the ways its many species (including humans) function, evolve, and interact. Advances in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, and many other areas of biology have brought improvements in the quality of life.

5. Its the ending answer/result of the experiment.

this is what i could get, sorry its not all of them
