Crop loss from fungus can be solved by study of biology.
<span>There is a remote possibility a barren rock could turn into a temperate forest, but this would have taken billions of years. It is not likely to have happened therefore I would have to say the answer is false.</span>
The answer is; the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects DNA from UV radiation, and UV radiation can cause skin cancer
In Africa, due to its equatorial latitude location, receives direct sunlight at more or less 90 degrees most of the year. These highly concentrated rays increase the UV radiation exposure that can cause damage to cell DNA. Selection pressure, therefore, favored individuals with high melanin concentrations that protect against UV. Therefore population evolved towards high melanin densities in the skin.
Answer:
K-strategists
Explanation:
Reproductive pattern in organisms can be typically categorised into two:
1. K- Strategy
2. R- Strategy
K-strategists are organisms that lives in very stable environments and gives birth to fewer organisms. Most of these organisms reproduce close the carrying capacity of their habitat. They offer support and protection to their progeny to the points where they become indepedent. The mortality rate is very low in such organisms and so is the birth rate too.
R-strategists are organisms whose main aim is to populate and dominate an environment. They reproduce exponentially and offers no life support to their progeny in their early developmental stage. They often occupy unstable and highly unpredictable environments. Most R organisms have a very low and short life expectancy. Since they produce more offspring and they live under adverse environments, mortality rate is high.
Examples of K-strategists are elephants and man
Examples of R-stategists are grasses and microbes.
Answer:
B. into an aquifer
Explanation:
People can obtain groundwater by drilling a well into an aquifer.
An aquifer is a porous and permeable formation where groundwater can be found.
- Aquifer is usually found below the water table.
- In this regard, the pore spaces of this layer of the earth allows for the storage of ground water.
- When the aquifer is punctured, groundwater can be abstracted.
