Hey there, thx for posting your question to Brainly, i've posted some information below and an explanation, hope it helps you<3

Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth.

Carbon moves from plants to animals. Through food chains, the carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.

Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils. When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood and leaves decays bringing the carbon into the ground. Some is buried and will become fossil fuels in millions and millions of years.

Hey! Hope i was able to help, have a good one.

Genetics is the study of ________.

butalik [34]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Heredity refers to the passing of the traits from the parents to the offsprings or generation and also known as inheritance and Genetic variation is the difference in the genetic material in population which leads to the formation of a variety of traits.

Since the variation in traits is determined by factors (Gregor Mendel) later called "genes" which are passed on to the offsprings, therefore, the branch of biology which studies the pattern of inheritance and variation is known as "Genetics". Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

The climatic factors which affect a biome are greatly influenced by

Basile [38]

The biome is characterized by climate, temperature, and rainfall. The climatic factors that intervene are the altitude, latitude, and types of soil. Latitude determines temperature and seasonality and defines polar, subpolar, temperate, subtropical and tropical climates. Precipitation and latitude determine wet, sub-humid, dry or seasonal, semi-arid and arid types. The altitude determines the basal, premontane, montane, alpine and snow types. And only soil types are a determining factor in the influence of climatic factors and their variation and behavior within the biome.
