Answer:
Biotic factors such as the presence of autotrophs or self-nourishing organisms such as plants, and the diversity of consumers also affect an entire ecosystem. Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting factors restrict the growth of populations.

Answer:
D. Planting exotic shade plants in their yard and hiring a lawn company to tend to them.
Explanation:
Both grass and vegetables produce CO2. Vegetables produce as much CO2 as a car that's been driving 4.5 miles. Beef produces enough CO2 for 63 miles. This eliminates all of the answers except for D. Plants use CO2 in photosynthesis and give off O2. So not only will is reduce the CO2 output, it will provide you oxygen.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
If the population is in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant.
There is nothing about the heritability of dominant or recessive alleles that make dominant ones any more likely by nature. This rules out choices A and B.
Genetic drift mentioned in D refers to alleles leaving a population. Nothing like this was mentioned in the question, so count that answer out.
C is the only remaining answer by process of elimination. It is also the most logical choice. Directional selection refers to a process of natural selection wherein extreme phenotypes (notched leaves, or non-notched leaves) are favored. In this case, there may be some external pressure causing notched leaf plants to be more evolutionarily fit, meaning that they survive long enough to reproduce more and increase allele frequency of the dominant allele.
