Explain how the intensity of disturbances can affect equilibrium and species diversity.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

The high intensity disturbance is likely to reduce the diversity of species by creating environmental stress that can be responsible for exceeding the tolerance of many species the intolerant species is likely to be excluded. This will affect the equilibrium of the species diversity as non-adapting and intolerant species population may reduce or extinct.

For example, the fire is an ecological factor. The forest fire is utilized by some plants for the dispersal of seed by burning of the hard coat fruits like pine cones but it reduces the population of weed species. Thus this affect the equilibrium of the species diversity.

Draw a picture of DNA replication. Label the direction each strand is going, the enzymes involved with each step, the leading an
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The fork is drawn to emphasize its similarity to the bacterial replication fork depicted in Figure. Although both forks use the same basic components, the mammalian fork differs in at least two important respects.

First, it uses two different DNA polymerases on the lagging strand.

Second, the mammalian DNA primase is a subunit of one of the lagging-strand DNA polymerases, DNA polymerase α, while that of bacteria is associated with a DNA helicase in the primosome. The polymerase α (with its associated primase) begins chains with RNA, extends them with DNA, and then hands the chains over to the second polymerase (δ), which elongates them. It is not known why eucaryotic DNA replication requires two different polymerases on the lagging strand. The major mammalian DNA helicase seems to be based on a ring formed from six different Mcm proteins; this ring may move along the leading strand, rather than along the lagging-strand template shown here.
