Describe how environmental changes can cause species to become extinct.

1 answer:

5 0

Many species, or at least the region they live in, need a relatively narrow set of environmental criteria to be true in order to survive. For example, if an alligator in the Florida wetlands experiences a long-term drought, the plants that the smaller animals eat can dry up and those animals die. Then the alligators have no animals to eat so they could die. If this was to happen over a long period of time and on a worldwide scale, a species could become extinct.

I hope that helps.

How does water erosion affect humans?

attashe74 [19]

For the answer to the question above for property damage, one example we could give is buildings or houses. Erosion decreases the value of this properties because the materials like metal are oxidizing and rust overtime and the structure's strength is decreasing over time. As for damage to crops. the land's nutrients decrease overtime too. Which means the crops can get fewer nutrients from the soil in order to perform Photosynthesis.

The long-term effects of this things on humans are things get riskier. Like a car. A 20-year-old car isn't the same as a brand new car in whatever ways. The brand new cars are safer because the materials that are used there are newer than the old car and they are more reliable. Same for humans. A 5-year old's health is not the same as a 50-year-old's health.

In clover plants, the pattern on the leaves is determined by a single gene with multiple alleles that are related in a dominance

igomit [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a. 7

b. 7 (p1p1, p1p2, p1p3, p1p4, p1p5, etc

c. p7 is abundant

Explanation:

According the question the dominance of the big leaves is p7 > p6 >p5 >p4 >p3 >p2 >p1 where 1 represent least dominance and 7 represent most dominance

let represent the phenotype with the numbers 1 to 7 and genotype with a combination of these numbers so the genotype in respect of phenotype would be :

p7p7,p7p6, p7p5, p7p4, p7p3, p7p2, p7p1 - most dominant 7

p6p6, p6p5, p6p4, p6p3, p6p2, p6p1 - 6

p5p5, p5p4, p5p3, p5p2, p5p1 - 5

p4p4, p4p3, p4p2, p4p1 - 4

p3p3, p3p2, p3p1 - 3

p2p2, p2p1 - 2

p1p1- 1 least dominant

Thus, there are 28 different combinations or patterns of genotypes. 7 phenotypes patterns.
