The most logical contributing factor for the endangered status of black-footed ferret is Human encroachment. Farmers and ranchers (with government assistance) eliminated many prairie dogs because their underground complexes were destructive to fields. This led to decrease in the prairie dog populations, the primary prey of black-footed ferret.

Answer: There are two kinds of communication in the world of living cells. Communication between cells is called intercellular signaling, and communication within a cell is called intracellular signaling. An easy way to remember the distinction is by understanding the Latin origin of the prefixes: inter– means “between” (for example, intersecting lines are those that cross each other) and intra– means “inside” (like intravenous).

Which of the following are contributions of deforestation to global climate change? Select all that apply.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Conversion of forest to cropland or pasture decreases the rate at which carbon is taken up by plants.

Cut trees are often burned, and this releases carbon into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

First of all, <u>deforestation is the conversion of forests to non-forest uses.  Non-forest uses include agriculture, industrial development, infrastructural development, etc. </u>

Forests are sinks for carbon and their removal or conversion to non-forest uses means that less carbon would be fixed through photosynthesis. Slash and burn agricultural practice also leads to the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Thus, more carbon dioxide would be present in the atmosphere as a result of deforestation and burning. This carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that causes the warming of the planet, a phenomenon that results in the change of climate of the planet.

<em>Hence, the conversion of forest to cropland leading to a decrease in the rate of carbon fixation and the emission associated with burning both contribute immensely to global climate change.</em>

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a substance has the  capacity to disrupts the genetic compositions (DNA) of the  organisms, to the extent that it makes the  particular organism genetic materials prone to genetic mutation,( random changes in the genetic composition) such group of substances are called Mutagens.

ionizing radiation,radioactive decay are  some examples of  of physical mutagens, while biological mutagens examples include viruses and bacterial. Chemical mutagens are Benzene compounds,bromine,aromatic amines,sodium Azide.

They exerts their negative effects

by disrupting gene expression sequence of transcription, translation, or changed the nucleotides  sequence of the DNA leading to  deletion, addition, subtraction of genetic bases.Some may make chromosomes to be unstable, disrupting the structure

 Although some mutagens can cause cancer, that is they are mutagens. not all mutagens  carcinogenic.This is because the Mutagenic effects depends on the metabolites present in the cells of the organisms.
