Answer:  C - introduction of an unchecked invasive species.

E- massive flooding.

Explanation:

The catastrophic event can be define as the event which can cause huge damage to the living and non-living factors of the ecosystem. It can make the environment unsuitable for the survival of the living beings and can become the cause of mass extinction.

C is the correct option because the introduction of invasive species can reduce the population of members of the native species if the invasive species compete with the native species for resources.

E is the correct option because the massive flood will wiped out the living beings and can destroy the landscape and property of the region where it occurs.

A catastrophic event with respect to an ecosystem is an event that can cause great damage or suffering to an ecosystem.

Hence options C - introduction of an unchecked invasive species and option E- massive flooding are the correct options.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the evolution of flight?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

d.The wing-assisted incline running theory postulates that wings were initially used to maintain balance while climbing up slopes.

Explanation:

Two theories were given to explain the origin of avian flight. The top-down theory suggested that the birds' ancestors were tree dwelling species. They took help of wings to glide from tree to tree in order to avoid predator or catch prey. The bottom up theory suggested that the birds' ancestors were ground dwelling species. They took help of wings to maintain a balance and provide a lift for efficient running.

Wing-assisted incline running was a mixture of both the above theories and gave a balanced view point. According to it, birds' ancestors used wings to maintain a balance while running up inclined slopes. The wings helped them to save energy while scaling slopes and eventually a flight mechanism was also developed.

Illusion [34]

A body of underground water, usually comprised of water saturated regolith, is permeable, and replenishes lakes and streams, is known as a aquifer.

Groundwater to be able to get into a rock with good porosity it must also have good permeability. For a rock to be permeable and for water to move through it, the pore spaces between the grains in the rock must be connected. Permeability is therefore a measure of the ability of water to move through a rock.

An aquifer is a body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater. Groundwater is the word used to describe precipitation that has infiltrated the soil beyond the surface and collected in empty spaces underground. There are two general types of aquifers confined and unconfined.

How does the virus use a host cell to make copies of itself
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

I wasn't quite sure what virus you were referring to in your question, but here's a general answer: Viruses use their host cells' machinery to replicate themselves.

If they are a specific type of virus known as a retrovirus, they have the ability to use the host cells' enzymes to change the RNA contained within the virus into DNA (via some type of replication I suppose).

In other cases, if they contain DNA instead of RNA (that is, the virus), they can use the host cell's machinery to create RNA via enzymes involved in transcription and/or they can incorporate that DNA into the host cell's DNA. This is part of a type of viral replication cycle known as the lysogenic cycle.

In another type of viral replication cycle known as the lytic cycle, the virus simply has itself and its genome duplicated until the host cell bursts, releasing the viral material. Here, again, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to replicate itself.
