The native flora will die off and since that single crop would be considered an invasive species to that specific food web so it could kill off any other species of plants or animals that are living/growing there.

Answer:

    Deforestation is one of the main environmental problems associated with the practice of monoculture. Monoculture is an agricultural practice carried out in large areas where a single product is grown.

   Deforestation causes, in addition to climate change, biodiversity loss, as many animals lose their habitat, as well as ecological imbalance, forcing several species to migrate to other locations.

    Another problem is the consequent loss of biodiversity in the monoculture area, as well as the depletion of the soil, since only one species is cultivated, leading to its exhaustion.

    Another feature of monoculture is the presence of intense use of pesticides. The same cultivated species tends to create a single cycle of pests, which may harm the plantation, considering that there is no disruption of this cycle. Therefore, it is essential to use pesticides to contain pests, weeds and diseases.

What organism belongs to more than one trophic level
Alexeev081 [22]
<span>A trophic level pertains to the position of an organism in the food chain. Humans are  the mos dominant organism that belong to more than one trophic level. When we eat plants we become the primary consumers but when we eat meat we can become the secondary or the tertiary consumers.

Birds are also organisms that belong to more than one trophic level. When birds eat seeds they become the primary consumer, but when they eat insects they become the secondary or even the tertiary consumers. </span>

In a healthy eukaryotic cell, the rate of DNA repair is typically equal to the rate of DNA mutation. When the rate of repair lag
Art [367]

Answer:

The cell may be converted to malignant tumor cell.

Explanation:

Due to failure of lag in the normal repair process, there will be formation of irreparable mutated DNA which may include double-strand breaks and cross-linkages in DNA. Due to this the normal functioning of the cell will be disturbed and there may be formation of malignant tumor or cancer. The normal repair process in necessary for any cell to compensate the mutations in DNA that even occur during division or replication.

While studying a newly discovered prokaryotic organism, you notice that it uses binary fission to multiply. Based on your knowle
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Binary fission is different from mitosis and meiosis because it occur in prokaryotic cells. And prokaryotic cells does not have nucleus like the eukaryotic cells and there is not mitotic spindle formation during binary fission compared to mitosis and meiosis.

Explanation:

Binary fission is a process of cell division where a single cells divide into two or more parts and the parts regenerate into another organisms which resembles the parent organisms. This occur only in prokaryotic cells and is very different from mitosis and meiosis that occur in eukaryotic cells because prokaryotic cells lack nucleus and no spindle formation in the nucleus.

Mitosis occur in eukaryotic cells because they have nucleus and membrane bound organelles and is the process where a parent cell divide to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell and each cell having the same number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occur in eukaryotic cells and it occur in sex cells where a single cell divide into four daughter cells with each having half number of parent cell chromosomes.
