Biodiversity is essential to an ecosystem's resistance against viruses and famine. In history, there has been many cases in which a lack of biodiversity has allowed a virus or disease to endemically wipe out an entire species of plant. This will subsequently affect all consumers of each trophic level. Ex: A disease that attacks the DNA of only one certain species of plant would cause decreases in the population of the organisms that rely on eating that plant, the organisms that rely on eating those organisms, and so on. This is caused by a decrease in food source, thus not being able to sustain the ecosystem's demand, thus naturally killing off any organisms that would not be able to find a sufficient food source.
(The 3 examples are:)
~ CO2 from burning fossil fuels
~ gas (methane) leaks from underground gas pipes
<span>~ methane from rotting material in landfills
</span>
(Other ones)
<span>~ combustion of fossil fuels (oil, coal, and gas)</span>
<span>~ deforestation (decreasing amount of plants that remove CO2 from the atmosphere)</span>
<span><span>~ industrial production that uses petroleum based products (mineral/metal production)

Explanation:
mtDNA is inherited from the mother of a child, this is because mitochondria are in the cytoplasm and the father's gamete (sperm cell) contributes very little or no cytoplasm to the zygote. We know that mitochondrial Eve came from Africa because the mutations in the mtDNA occurred before the <em>out-of-Africa dispersal</em>.
Answer:
1.a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another.
2.a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.
3.Control group, the standard to which comparisons are made in an experiment. ... A typical use of a control group is in an experiment in which the effect of a treatment is unknown and comparisons between the control group and the experimental group are used to measure the effect of the treatment
4.occurring continuously over a period of time.
I hope this helps!
