Why do so few trees grow in the tundra?

Biology
1 answer:
Serggg [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Although most biomes on Earth are covered in trees, the tundra is known for its lack of trees. The term tundra actually comes from the Finnish word tunturia, which means 'treeless plain.' The tundra has very few trees due to several factors. First, the short summer season results in a short growing season, which makes it difficult for trees to grow larger. The persistent and strong winds also make it difficult for large trees to survive due to damage caused by the wind. Additionally, the permafrost makes it difficult for roots to penetrate the soil and create a strong support base. The cold temperature of the permafrost also makes decomposition slower, which limits the amount of nutrients being cycled through the environment.

Although there are few trees in the tundra, there is a variety of smaller vegetation that grows in this environment. Plants that are commonly found in the tundra biome include dwarf shrubs, grasses, mosses and lichens.

Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!! ;)

Answer:

Because genetic drift (Founder effect) is acting on this population. Not all the Hardy weinberg criteria are accomplished. There are no random matings and populations are finite-sized.

Explanation:

This is a special case of genetic drift: the founder effect.

The “Founder effect” phenomenon refers to cases where a new population originates from a few founder individuals, coming from a bigger ancestral population, that established in a new environment. This small population might or might not be genetically representative of the original one. This subgroup carries with them some genetic information that they share with their original population. Over time, some genes can be lost, or they can increase in frequency. Some rare alleles might be exceeded or might be completely lost. On Consequence, when the small population grows, it will have a genetically different composition from the original one. In these situations, genetic variability is reduced and enhances the possibility of developing a peculiar allelic composition. In some cases, the founder effect is part of the process of speciation.  

The criteria for maintaining a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:  

  • Random matings
  • No superposed generations
  • No mutations
  • No migration  
  • Infinite population size
  • No natural selection

Genetic drift involved the un-accomplishment of random matings and infinite population sizes.

Genetic drift involves:

  • limited population sizes
  • individuals reproduce by endogamy/exogamy, and matings occur by phenotype.

Third-class lever systems, like most skeletal muscles, enable great strength but sacrifice speed and distance of movement. Third
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- false

Explanation:

The understanding of the biomechanics of the human movements is studied by the lever system which represents the rigid bar which comes on a fixed point as a result of the force exerted.

The lever systems are defined into three types into which the last lever system is the third lever system which is the recognized by the muscle (effort) in the middle of the joint (fulcrum) and the weight of the body (load).

These movements are related to the exercise like jumping, running and kicking which requires speed and distance to be covered. Thus, false is the correct answer.

the effort is the middle component and lies between the fulcrum and load.
