Answer: D). Primary species have large numbers of offsprings, and climax communities contain species that have small numbers of offsprings.

An ecological succession is a process of gradual changes occurs in a biological community with respect to changes in the non-living abiotic factors (water, air and sunlight) and with respect to time until the ecosystem attains stability. Primary or pioneer species are the species which invade the previously barren and primitive landmass for their survival. These species make the environment suitable for the growth of other species. These grow and develop in the initial stages of succession. These species are simple organisms which reproduce asexually and produces large number of offsprings. Examples are lichen and moss. Lichen grows on the surface of rocks and acids released by them causes withering of rocks into soil which facilitate the growth of mosses and other plants. Climax community develops in an ecosystem after replacing many previously inhabiting species. Climax community develops in the end of the ecological succession. It contains species which are highly complex and uses sexual reproduction for the production of offsprings which are less in number as compared to those produced by pioneer species by asexual reproduction.

Why might knowledge of the gene and protein sequences of a species be useful in classifying that species? (4 points)

lara [203]

Answer:

It would make it possible to compare that species to other species at a level deeper than outward appearance

Explanation:

The proteins like hemoglobin and enzymes can be studied to see whether organism which are similar in form can also be related to each other. Its differences found in these proteins' amino acid sequences will present how closely or distantly related an organism is to another.

Interstitial cells produce?

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E (testosterone).

Explanation:

The interstitial cells or Leydig cells are the individual or group of cells present in loose connective tissues surrounding the seminiferous tubules.

They are usually active in the production of dominant sex hormones in males that is testosterone responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics.They produce hormones in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH) and growth hormone released by the pituitary gland.

The high cholesterol content and crystals of Reinke make the leydig cells appear pale in color.

Thus, option E- testosterone is the correct answer.

What is the biological advantage of operons to bacteria?

TEA [102]

The correct answer is option C, that is, the Operons afford the organism the opportunity to simultaneously monitor the transcription of multiple genes, whose products are active in the same process.

The genes, which correspond to a particular metabolic procedure are usually under the control of a single promoter in a bacteria. This is known as Operon that assists in monitoring the expression of genes taking part in the similar metabolic procedure.
