What is a slow, continuous process while what is sudden and less frequent.
vladimir2022 [97]

Explanation:

A slow, continuous process is defined as gradualism that occurs at slow rate but at a steady pace.

For example, stripes of a tiger develop slowly and at a steady pace so that they can hide in tall grass represents gradualism.

Whereas punctuated equilibrium is a process in which there is sudden and frequent changes that results in the formation of new species.  

For example, species living in a sea for thousand of years breed and die over there and suddenly when there is change in sea level than animals must adapt represents punctuated equilibrium.

Which best describes a way in which phosphorus may enter into the phosphorus cycle
Alborosie

The following choices are provided;

  • Earthquakes release phosphorus.
  • Phosphorus is carried in the rain that was evaporated from lakes.
  • Human use of fertilizers releases phosphorus into the groundwater.
  • Phosphorus is transpired.

The answer is; Earthquakes release phosphorus

Phosphorus is usually made less available to plants and to the rest of the ecosystem through runoffs. The washed-off phosphorus is deposited at the oceans- and seabeds with sediments. This phosphorus is made available again due to tectonic plate movements. Tectonic movements may cause earthquakes that expose these sediments to the earth’s surface.This uncovers the sedimentary rocks to agents of weathering and hence the elements are more available to living organisms on the surface.

"the term normally applied when two genes fail to assort independently is ________."
IgorC [24]
LINKAGE

Independent assortment refers to the allele segregation of two different genes. They are expected to be segregated from each other independently.This is not seen in monohybrids, they are usually heterozygous for an allelic pair only. Link genes cannot assort independently. These are inherited together during meiosis phase of sexual reproduction. Usually genes that are close together will tend to stick together resulting into inheritance of genes as pairs.
