Explain how human impact can lead to succession in ecosystems.

Biology

Olin [163]3 years ago

Answer:

Ecological succession refers to the changes taken place in a forest over a particular period of time.

Succession is usually influenced by environmental factors such as water regimes, soil type, climate, vegetation history, and invasive species.  

Humans interventions affect all of the above-mentioned factors.

Human activities such as fragmentation of forests, clearing of forests for agricultural practices, construction of dams, civilization, logging et cetera drastically reduce the biodiversity of a forest.

This reduction of biodiversity forms the foundation for a secondary succession of a forest.

Human impact on ecosystems is mostly negative but i did think of one example where it isn't and that is when forest like in the mountains are purposely lit on fire so that after the trees can grow back more green and less dry. This is example of secondary succession by the way.
Anyways i hoped this was able to help you(;

Answer:

To be honest, I would say the best answer is the fact that flies move so you can't be sure if you counted a fruit fly or not. If this is a test i am sorry if you get it wrong, if its homework this is what I would've put.

A genetic engineer wants to isolate a gene from a scorpion that encodes the deadly toxin found in its stinger, with the ultimate
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Yes, the genetic engineer should create a genomic library or a cDNA library.

Explanation:

mRNA isolated from the toxin extracted from the venom gland of the scorpion to create a cDNA library. The cDNA sequence is reverse transcribed by the mRNA that lacks the introns as prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria cannot splice introns.

If the engineer wants to express the toxin in bacteria then he required a cDNA sequence as a genomic clone can not use to clone for making proteins.  mRNA should be isolated from the venom gland so it can synthesize cDNA library enriched with toxin protein sequence.

What is the relationship between mutation, natural selection, and adaptation? ​
balu736 [363]

Explanation:

well a mutation in my opinion is genetic change that happened in the animal this could be beneficial or may not be. natural selection is a process that ensures only the best of the species survives and more of them will produce because all of the flawed ones will die off. adaptaion is when a plant or animal adapts to its surrounding over time they may develop a charterisric that will help them thrive. all of them tie togethor

The phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes condense and centrosomes move to opposite poles of the cell is
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Anaphase.

Explanation:

Cell division can be either mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis cell division has these phases:

A. Interphase - non-dividing phase with to G1, S and G2 sub phase. In this genetic material doubles and cell size increases.

B. Prophase- chromosomes shorten and condense by coiling. Centrioles move in opposite directions.

C. Metaphase - spindle fibres bind to kinetochores and pulls it the chromosomes on the equator of the spindle forms a plate called the metaphase plate.

D. Anaphase- these get condense and centromeres split into two and the spindle fibres pull the daughter centromeres to opposite poles.

E. Telophase is the last phase of Mitosis.
