Answer:

It can be best explained with the help of Gause's law of competitive exclusion.

It states that no two species can coexist stably which compete for exact same resources.  

In such conditions, the species which is inferior to other in terms of adaptations either extinct or evolve towards a different ecological niche.

For example, Galapagos island finches evolved with different shapes and sizes of beaks as an adaptation towards limited resources available such as different types of seeds or food.

How has the artificial manipulation of plasmids been used for technological applications??
sveta [45]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. <span>Plasmids can be used to incorporate a desired gene into something else which is lacking the gene. An example would be that you could take a plasmid from a bacteria which is resistant to an antibiotic and put it into a bacteria which is not resistant to the antibiotic. Therefore, the insertion of the plasmid would make the susceptible bacteria resistant.</span>

What is the albedo effect?<br><br> Do you think the earth is warming up?
meriva

Answer: Astronomers define the reflectivity of an object in space using a term called albedo. This is the amount of electromagnetic radiation that reflects away, compared to the amount that gets absorbed.

Explanation: But to answer the "Earth warming up" question, I'd have to say that for over millions of years, Earth's climate has warmed up and cooled down many times. However, today the planet is warming much faster than it has over human history. Global air temperatures near Earth's surface have gone up about 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the last century. However, other evidence suggests that the period of 2,000 to 3,000 million years ago was generally colder and more glaciated than the last 500 million years.

So, yes I do believe that the Earth is warming up but not to explode.

Consider a culture medium on which only gram- positive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus colonies can grow due to an eleva
Anon25 [30]

Answer: It is a selective and differential medium.

Explanation: Selective medium is used to select the growth of certain bacteria whilst inhibiting the growth of another by preparing a medium with ingredients that will only select a specific growth of intended microbe. When closely related bacteria had been selected, they can further be differentiated by the way they utilize the medium. In this case staphylococcus aureus was first selected using sodium chloride with which only this bacteria can tolerate i.e halophilic (strives in salty environment). It was also further differentiated by its ability to ferment sugars changing the colour of the pH indicator chemical.
