Explain how human impact can lead to succession in ecosystems.

Biology

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(;

Which chromosomal defect is caused when part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome?
LiRa [457]

The right answer is inversion.

Inversion is a genetic mutation characterized by the end-to-end reversal of a portion of chromatid on a chromosome.

In other words, it is a double break then it is replaced after rotation of 180 ° of a chromosome segment (backward insertion).

We distinguish :

Paracentric inversions:  The centromere in the chromosome is not included in the inversion.

Pericentric inversions:  The centromere is included in the inversion which transforms a metacentric chromosome into an acrocentric chromosome.

What part of the female system is the usual site of fertilization of the ovulated oocyte?.
Paul [167]

Fertilization of the egg cell by the sperm usually takes place in the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg then travels to the uterus and implants in the endometrium.

<h3>What are fallopian tubes?</h3>
  • Fallopian tubes are also called oviducts or uterine tubes. It is the passage through which the egg enters the uterine cavity from the ovary.
  • Fallopian tubes are part of the reproductive tract. They have a smooth muscle wall, an inner mucous membrane, and an outer layer of loose supporting tissue (serosa).
<h3>Why does fertilization take place in the fallopian tubes?</h3>

The fallopian tube (oviduct) regulates fertilization through sperm induction and sperm hyperactivity. Sperm induction is achieved by rheotaxis, thermotaxis, and chemotaxis. Rheotaxis is caused by tubal fluid that creates a current flow from the tubal ampulla to the tubal isthmus.

What is the savanna hypothesis? Group of answer choices Bipedalism was selectively favored because it helped our ancestors to st
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Both options are valid, since in the hypothesis of the savanna it was argued that humans acquired bipedalism to be able to self-supply their food more effectively, and to have less body surface area exposed to the sun.

Explanation:

The saban hypothesis is believed to have originated in the saban, with the Austrolopitecus africanus being forced to affect this domain, which is why it acquired this adaptation mechanism.

The savanna had high grasslands, which also led to collaboration in this regard since they could be better camouflaged.

In addition, the human began to defend with the limbs of the upper limb, triggering the canines to decrease in size since it is not used as a defense mechanism.

The canine is a tooth that helps to tear carnivorous food, that is why the human also begins to have a more varied diet of fruits and seeds and that it can reach and take the bones of the tree to increase its height due to bipedalism.
