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.
The term used to describe a harmless organism resembling a harmful one is batesian mimicry. Cryptic coloration or camouflage makes prey difficult to spot, while aposematic coloration is a type of coloration exhibited by animals with effective chemical defenses. Mullerian mimicry is a type of mimicry in which two or more unedible species resemble each other.
Both cycle occur within the atmosphere but the difference that they have is at the rate with which they occur. Phosphorus cycle is one of the slowest form of matter cycles that occur on earth as compared to the carbon cycle.
Contacting a local hospital and asking them the percentage of the population that has blood type O will generate different results.
The factors that we have to consider why there is differing results are:
1) location of the hospital
2) nationality of their patients
3) number of their patients
I am assuming that the population that question is referring to is the number of patients in the local hospital. The bigger the population, the smaller the effect a unit has on the whole and vice versa.
I read an article that states that 37% of the U.S. population has O+ blood type. These people are usually of Hispanic descent or some Asian descent. So, if a hospital is in a locality that has a majority of Hispanic or Asian patients, its percentage will be higher than a hospital that is located in a Caucasian-populated area.
Aside from Type O+ (most common), blood types also include: O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, and AB- (rarest blood type)
Alright if this works the same way it does with humans (i'm almost totally sure it does but just in case) the answer is: the zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father.
