The carrying capacity of a biological organism in the surrounding refers to the maximum size of the population of the organism that the environment can maintain indeterminately, given the habitat, food, water, and other essential requirements in the environment.  

When a deep water island of marine debris is situated directly in the migratory path of a pod of humpback whales, then the carrying capacity for the region would be negotiated and the populations of whale will suffer.

HI~ I hope this helps

(these answers were hand-written meaning I did not copy and paste so, feel free to use the answers freely)

1.

When ecosystems change rapidly the fundamental environmental cycles such as the circulation of water, carbon and nutrients can change as ecosystems depend on them. The usage of factors such as freshwater, carbon dioxide emissions and fertilizer provides a large benefit to humas therefore meaning, that large and rapid changes to an ecosystem could also effect the things we as humans rely on.

2.  

Complex organic matter is broken down by decomposers into carbon dioxide, water etc. The ecosystem is affected based upon the fact that the decomposition of organic matter that is produced by plants, animals and soil organisms is an important process which affects the different important ecosystem processes like nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration.

3. (could have two answers- I recommend the second)

Adaptation- due to the mutation process which results in changes in the structure and function of organisms, these ecosystems would be different as well as unique. The organisms which possesses the traits needed to adapt could then survive as its unique characteristics due to mutation would provide a strong ability

Rise in temperature- If the temperature located on earth was to rise, organisms would have a higher living rate as bacterial life flourishes in warmer temperatures and dies out in colder ones.

4.

~The rapid change of increased food production provides better life sustainability to those living in the ecosystem.

~The rapid change in a large increasing number of organisms could be helpful as they often live of off one another.

5.

~Rapid growth of things such as phytoplankton which cause dead zones are harmful to the ecosystem. Dead zones create zones where too much oxygen is consumed resulting in areas where plants and sea life can no longer survive.

~Whereas the rapid increase of organisms could also be harmful to an ecosystem as the possibility of the organism outnumbering the food sources could become prominent.

What is the most significant role of homologous recombination in eukaryotes that is not found in prokaryotes? exchange of geneti
Luden [163]

Answer:

The correct answer is "exchange of genetic information between parental chromosomes".

Explanation:

Homologous recombination is a genetic recombination that occurs when two similar or identical molecules of DNA exchange some of its nucleotide sequences. This type of recombination is most widely used for DNA repair purposes, however this is not distinctive of eukaryotes as prokaryotes use it as well. Therefore the most significant an unique role of homologous recombination in eukaryotes is the exchange of genetic information between parental chromosomes. This particular function is known as chromosomal crossover and it is only found in eukaryotes.

Researchers create a recombinant DNA molecule in which the coding sequence for GFP is inserted downstream of the enhancer/promot
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

-Reporter gene.

Explanation:

A reporter gene can be defined as a gene, which is used as an indicator to check uptake or expression of gene by a cell or organism. It is attached to a regulatory sequence of a different gene of interest in cell culture, bacteria, plants, or animals by the researchers and used to confer its expression in that organism or cell.

Gene for GFP (green fluorescent protein) is an example of reporter gene, due to which cells that express gene of interest emit green color under blue light.

As in given experiment, target gene (gene for rhodopsin) is attached with gene for GFP, it represents an example of reporter gene.

Thus, the correct answer is 'reporter gene.'
