This is called 'controlled' or 'prescribed' burning. Usually fires in the environment are regarded as undesirable and dangerous, but fires actually fulfil an important ecological role, and animals and plants had adapted to a certain frequency and intensity of fires. The seeds of some trees or grasses germinate after forest or grass fires, as the more open conditions after a fire allows the seedlings to compete and avoid being shaded and smothered by more established trees. Unfortunately, farming and forestry practices have in many cases resulted in a reduction of fires. A reduction in the frequency of fires also allows the build up of dead wood, and when a wild fire does occur, the amount of available fuel results in very hot, large and damaging fires. Therefore, management of forests and other environments such as prairies often use controlled burns to avoid the buildup of dead organic mass and to replicate the natural fire cycle.
Answer:
Since albinism is an autosomal recessive trait, it means that both parents must possess the gene for it, for the albinism to occur.
Thus, David could be the father if both Rose and David are carriers(heterozygotes) for the albino allele.
Answer:
Complete immersion in water is not essential for life for the yabby. If its gills are kept moist (humid air is sufficient), it can absorb oxygen from the air and survive for many days out of water. To breed, however, it must be in water.
The yabby has evolved an ingenious mechanism for surviving drought. As the ground dries up it burrows down following the falling water table, and seals the burrow entrance with an earthen plug. In a small, moist chamber at the bottom, the yabby enters a state resembling suspended animation, its bodily functions (respiration, pulse and digestion) practically ceasing. This mechanism is called aestivation (not hibernation, which is a winter adaptation of warm-blooded animals). The yabby can remain like this for years on end. Burrows well over 5 metres deep have been found.
The yabby is rarely found in clear water. Its natural habitat is usually muddy water, which (although probably not essential to life) may give some protection from predators. Some predators, such as fish, do not depend upon sight alone but can sense pressure changes, tracking their prey even in muddy water; cormorants too can find their prey in muddy waters.
Substrate type is not critically important, although the yabby is commonly found on muddy or silted bottoms with the occasional rock or fallen branch (in contrast to the leaf-littered, rocky or pebbly streams of the spiny crayfishes). Experiments have shown that growth is faster on a natural substrate such as mud or stones, than on an artificial one such as plastic tanks.

Hope that my answer helped. If my answer did help you then would you be kind to give me brainliest because I've been trying to rank up. If not then it's totally fine. Thanks :)
