Answer:Biological structures are able to adapt their growth to external mechanical stimuli and impacts. For example, when plants are under external loads, such as wind force and self-weight, the overloaded zones are reinforced by local growth acceleration and the unloaded zones stop growing or even shrink. Such phenomena are recorded in the annual rings of trees. Through his observation of the stems of spruce, K. Metzger, a German forester and author, realized that the final goal of the adaptive growth exhibited by biological structures over time is to achieve uniform stress distribution within them. He published his discovery in 1893.12 A team of scientists at Karlsruhe Research Centre adopted Metzger's observations and developed them to one single design rule: the axiom of uniform stress. The methods derived from this rule are simple and brutally successful like nature itself. An excellent account of the uniform-stress axiom and the optimization methods derived from it is given by Claus Mattheck in his book ‘Design in Nature’.13 The present study utilizes one of these methods, stress-induced material transformation (SMT), to optimize the cavity shape of dental restorations.
Explanation:
Yes, because there is only so much weight it can hold.
Algae will be overgrown and larger fish will begin to die out as the carrying capacity has lowered due to a limit in food.
The answer is <span>A. Meiosis: It increases genetic variation, which helps ensure the species will survive.
Meiosis increases genetic variation. This means there is a great variety of genotypes among the population. Hence, there are organisms able to survive in a wider range of temperature. If </span><span>there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, some of the organisms will survive because their genotype allows them to live in such conditions. If there were no variety thanks to meiosis, all of the organisms would die. And that is not beneficial to a species.
Imagine on the other hand that mitosis occurred. Mitosis does not provide a variety of genotypes and all of the organism will be the same. </span><span>If there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, all of the organisms would die because all of them could respond to the change in the same way.</span>
