Biology
1 answer:
harina [27]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genes across a generation as opposed to down generations in vertical gene transfer. Bacteria can transfer gene horizontally through mechanisms such as transformation and transduction. The ‘male’ bacteria develops pili that it inserts into the ‘female’ bacteria and transfers some genes. This result in recombinant DNA that confers some of the beneficial characteristics to the ‘female’ bacteria that were there in the ‘male’ bacteria. This is how a population of bacteria can develop resistance to an antibiotic really fast.

Describe how succession can help restore the equilibrium of an ecosystem.
lara [203]
Ecological succession is a process of inhabiting a zoological area by a group of organisms. it involves many stages to reach the climax stage such as primary, secondary, tertiary names basing on the habitat where it occurs. once the organisms reach the most stable stage of the succession. thus it maintains equilibrium

Succession helps restore the equilibrium of an ecosystem by forming up new species, diversifying species, and basically by replacing the damaged, deranged, or disturbed community. For instance, when a sudden climate change occurred in a community, such as drought, dryness, fire, or heat waves, all living things that depends on water or survives in a cool, wet environment will die or migrate somewhere else. Thus, leaving that community vacant and/or unoccupied by any living things. Succession, then, will take place in that area by going through various stages until reaching the climax stage, in which the ecosystem is complete again. c: hope i helped :D
