Answer:

A. inheritance and reproduction

Explanation:

These two terms are interrelated as the act of one (reproduction) gives rise to the other (inheritance). The process whereby offsprings are produced using gametes (sexual reproduction) or without gametes (asexual reproduction) from a an organism called the parent is called REPRODUCTION. Reproduction is necessary to ensure the survival of a particular species.

During reproduction, the genetic material (DNA) in form of chromosomes of an organism is passed down from parents to offsprings in a process called INHERITANCE or HEREDITY. The information needed for certain processes like growth, reproduction, survival and others are contained in the genetic material, and are transferred from the parents to their progenies.

In sexual reproduction, this biological information encoded in the genetic material is passed on via gametes produced by each parent (male and female) during meiosis.

Which of these is an environmental effect of deforesation?
Nata [24]
"Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)"
The conversion of forests into agricultural plantations is a major cause of deforestation. The increase in global demand for commodities, such as palm oil and soybeans, are driving industrial-scale producers to clear forests at an alarming rate. Indonesia, the largest producer of palm oil, was named the “Fastest Forest Destroyer,” in the 2008 Guinness World Records. Even when efforts are made to replenish barren plantations, the depleted soil is not able to produce the same biodiversity it once was."
Forest clearing for livestock ranching is another contributor of deforestation. Since 1990, Brazil, a top exporter of beef, has lost an area of forest that is three-fourths the size of Texas. A strong global demand for beef, supported by governments such as in Brazil, is expanding this kind of deforestation.

A drought killed all the plants in an agricultural farmland. Gradually, due to wind and some birds from nearby areas, new plants
OverLord2011 [107]

Use process of elimination. From what you gave me to read, you can cross off competition. A drought killed the plants and not competition to live. Go down the list of words and look up the definition. Look at nudation and ecesis later because they are different words that may or may not be challenging to understand. You know what reaction and migration is without looking it up. Once you cross off all words answers that don't match up, ask yourself, which remaining answer goes? Nudation is basically new plants that have successfully started growing after a huge environmental change. Ecesis is sort of similar however, the establishment in a new habitat or environment is not from a big change. Therefore, nudation is the correct answer.
