Explain how human impact can lead to succession in ecosystems.

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(;

Considering the same population of cats as in Part A, what is the expected frequency of each genotype (TLTL, TLTS, TSTS ) based
zaharov [31]

Answer:

P = f(TLTL) = 0,16

H = f(TLTS) = 0,48

Q = f(TSTS) = 0,36

Explanation:

Hello!

The allele proportion of any locus defines the genetic constitution of a population. Its sum is 1 and its values ​​can vary between 0 (absent allele) and 1 (fixed allele).

The calculation of allelic frequencies of a population is made taking into account that homozygotes have two identical alleles and heterozygotes have two different alleles.

In this case, let's say:

f(TL) = p

f(TS) = q

p + q = 1

Considering the genotypes TLTL, TLTS, TSTS, and the allele frequencies:

TL= 0,4

TS= 0,6

Genotypic frequency is the relative proportion of genotypes in a population for the locus in question, that is, the number of times the genotype appears in a population.

P = f(TLTL)

H = f(TLTS)

Q = f(TSTS)

Also P + H + Q = 1

And using the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies of equilibrium are given by the development of the binomial:

p^{2} = f(TLTL)

2pq = f(TSTL)

q^{2} = f(TSTS)

So, if the population is in balance:

P = p^{2}

H = 2pq

Q = q^{2}

Replacing the given values of allele frecuencies in each equiation you can calculate the expected frequency of each genotype for the next generation as:

f(TLTL) = P = p^{2} = 0,4^{2} = 0,16

f(TLTS) = H = 2pq = 2*0,4*0,6 = 0,48

f(TSTS) = Q = q^{2} = 0,6^{2} = 0,36

I hope you have a SUPER day!
