C. Single events or several causes working together to produce extinction in a short period is referred to as mass extinction.
<span>Example:
</span><span>Destruction of forests, mountains, and bodies of water to satisfy human needs result to the imbalance of nature which also give rise to global warming.
</span><span>Animals and plants have lost their habitats. They lost their means to live. They lost their food sources and they suffer and die because of humans irresponsible acts.</span>
Spontaneous generation was a (refuted) theory that some forms of life can arise from inorganic matter.
Louis Pasteur refuted it in a series of experiments, in which he boiled different matter (grape juice, broth) which would kill all the bacteria and let it stay for a long time to see if it would develop life (he also had a control condition in which he let the boiled liquid interact with the outside words, and those would develop bacterial life).
Answer:
As we know 10% law is transfer of energy from higher trophic level to lower trophic level. So as the energy are transfer from one organism to another there is a loss of energy as that energy are utilised by the oragnism and only 10% of the total energy is transferred to the second consumer.
Explanation:
Quetinary consumer are at the higher position in the food chain so they do not get enough energy from prey they have to feed on several organism for the enegy. And also they are at the top of the food chain so they are not eaten by other animal, their life span are also more than primary consumer.
In other hand primary consumer get enough energy but they are prey for other higher tropic level.
Primary and secondary consumer are maintend in such a way by the nature thats make a ecological balance of the habitant.
Answer:
b. average heterozygosity
Explanation:
From the available options:
a. nucleotide variability
b. average heterozygosity
c. average number of loci
d. geographic variability
Nucleotide variability represents a form of genetic variation that occur as a result of difference in nucleotide sequence of deoxy ribonucleic acid.
The locus is a region on the chromosome where genes are located. Average number of locus thus refers to total number of loci per total number of individuals in a population.
Geographic variability refers to difference in genetic traits across the various geographical distribution of a population.
Average heterozygosity is the percentage or proportion of heterozygous individuals for a trait within a population. It is a common measure of genetic variation in a population.
When a mutation occur within a population and this leads to the introduction of a new allele at a locus for which some individuals within the population are homozygous, it will directly affect the average heterozygosity of the population because more individuals will lose their homozygosity and become heterozygous.
<em>The correct option is b.</em>
Explanation:
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
