Correct answer: B). Shelter wood cutting takes place over several years
Shelterwood cutting is the progressively cutting of the forest, in order to establish the growth of the new generation of the seedlings of a particular species without planting.
It is a method of natural tree reproduction under the shelter of old trees, which are removed successively by cutting the tree in order to provide the increased amount of light to the new seedlings. It is a slow process and takes lot of time.
Answer:
The correct answer is option c. "frameshift mutations".
Explanation:
The reading frame of a gene is based on base-pair triplets, starting from the start codon until the ribosome encounters with the end codon. Base-pair additions and deletions are collectively referred to as frameshift mutations because they alter the reading frame of the gene. Base-pair additions and deletions break down the original sequence of the gene triplets, which alters the open reading frame and usually results in the production of non active proteins.
<span>The sex cells, more scientifically known as the ova and spermatozoa, are composed of 23 of the usually 46 human chromosomes. They have half the usual number because they of course combine to form a new, genetically distinct, cell, termed the zygote. The correct term for this type of cell, one with half of the complete genome, is GAMETE. Therefore the answer is option (a).</span>
Answer: Earth will always be the most accessible habitable planet for study. Consequently, studying the origin and earliest evolution of life, along with the long-term evolution of the Earth's environments, helps us understand why the Earth became habitable and why terrestrial life has persisted for billions of years.
