Answer:

The correct answer is <em>c. animal wastes and fertilizers. </em>

Explanation:

Two major sources of nitrate pollution are farming and breeding activities. There are also certain industrial activities involved in nitrate pollution, but in general, these industries are related to agriculture.

The indiscriminate use of fertilizers for several years in intensive productions produce high nitrate concentration in soil and consequently elevate the risk of nitrate lixiviation.

Breeding animals produce nitrate pollution by their wastes, which accumulate and are not treated. These wastes include flesh, hair, feathers, skin, fat, liquids, excrements, among others. These wastes are an important source of nitrate.

In many cases, animal wastes are used by farmers as organic matter to improve their production. But excessive and incorrect use of it might produce severe damage in water sources.

A population of western skinks, a type of lizard, lives in a grassland habitat along the base of a mountain range. The construct

Ann [662]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be D. The western skink population would be separated into two groups, and genetic diversity would decline in each group.

It can be explained with the help of a bottleneck effect due to which population size decreases suddenly due to events like a natural disaster, habitat destruction et cetera.

The construction of the multi-lane highway would have destroyed the natural habitat of western skinks and separate them into two populations.

The separation of a population along with the destruction of habitat would result in a severe decrease in the population size of western skinks.

Consequently, the genetic diversity would also decrease.

What is true about organisms that are a part of the same clade?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The correct answer is B. They evolved from a shared ancestor

Explanation:

In biology, the word clay refers to a set of organisms that have a common ancestor and because of this, they are placed in the same ramification or branch in a phylogenic tree, which allows biologists to classify organisms in groups. For example, all birds are believed to have a common ancestor and therefore they formed a clade. However, belonging to the same clade does not imply the same exact classification, identical phylogenies or characteristics because these depend on each species and varies due to the evolution process. Therefore the statement that is true about organisms that are part of the same clad ie that they evolved from a shared ancestor.
