1. The plant life that is characteristic of a biome depends upon:
eimsori [14]

Answer:

D. all of the above​

Explanation:

Biome refers to a large and relatively distinct terrestrial region having similar climatic conditions regardless of where it occurs on Earth. The characteristic climatic conditions (temperature and precipitation being the most important ones) and soil type of each biome type determine the type of plant species found there. Therefore, each biome is characterized by specific flora.  

For example, a desert biome is a temperate or tropical biome characterized by a lack of precipitation, seasonal variations in temperature and poor soil type with low organic matter that limits plant growth. Desert biomes have only the plant species that can survive these harsh conditions.

What do crops of the green revolution need in order to produce higher yields?
Airida [17]

Answer:

These crops where improved  with technology, production of high-yielding variety, and improve farm practices. All these ensured  the crops of green revolution had increase yield.

Explanation:

Through  genetic engineering, high-yielding variety of cereals e.g wheat, maize, rice, were genetically engineered so that certain features which enhanced increased productivity were selected for.

Use of fertilization, the adoption of mechanization,good cropping and farming system are other factors which enhanced yield of these crops. Specifically, these crops were modified to enhance their Nitrogen uptake, which promotes rapid growths.

Compare the similarities and differences between natural selection and artificial selection
AysviL [449]

Similarities: Natural Selection and Artificial Selection both result in the alteration of the gene pool. It can also change phenotypes of different species'.

Differences: Artificial Selection is when a specific trait is not wanted, and so it is not bred.

For example, humans did not like how yellow peas looked. They liked the healthy looking green better. So, they killed the yellow peas, and bred the green peas with other green pea plants, and right now it is almost completely out of our gene pool.

Natural Selection is when something naturally occurs, such as a natural disaster, famine, plague, invasive species introduction.

For example, if 10 camels lived in a desert, but one of them didn't have as good of a metabolism and stayed full longer, then that one would survive, while the others might not.
