Answer:

By acting as decomposer

Explanation:

Most of the nematodes are found in fresh water but some of them are found in soil as well. The species of nematodes such as round worm (earthworm) living in soils have the ability to feed on dead organic matter and release their carbon into soil thereby converting carbon within them into some usable form. These roundworm also feed on micro organisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa.

In a carbon cycle, the last stage requires decomposers to decompose dead and decaying organic matter and release the carbon stored in them into the soil. Since , free living nematodes (round worm) are able to do so therefore they contribute to the carbon cycle

One possible result of chromosomal breakage is for a fragment to join a nonhomologous chromosome. What is this type of chromosom
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Changes in chromosome include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations.

  • Deletion occurs when an end of a chromosome breaks off.
  • Duplication is the presence of a chromosome segment more than once in the same chromosome.
  • Translocation is when a fragment of chromosomal breakage join a nonhomologous chromosome.
  • Reciprocal translocation is a chromosome abnormality caused by exchange of parts between non-homologous chromosomes.
  • Robertsonian translocation occurs when two non-homologous chromosomes get attached, meaning that given two healthy pairs of chromosomes, one of each pair "sticks" together.

I need to see said graph but to my understanding most under weight babies are born early so their body is not fully developed but as an slightly over sized baby myself the biggest problem was for my mom because she had to have a c section because I was too big to come out the normal way

by the way c section stands for Cesarean section

hope all this helps
