C. <span>The more greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped. That means earth’s energy budget could be disturbed because the amount of heat radiating toward the surface is greater than the amount of heat escaping from the earth</span>
Technically you are able to argue both ends. Biotic factors are living things while abiotic factors are no living things. since the plant was once living, you can argue that it is a biotic factor, however, I would say the dead plant decay would be abiotic because it is not living anymore. I hope that helped!
Peacocks would not be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Explanation:
This can be justified by the mating patterns of the female peacocks. They do not choose their mates randomly but look out specifically for bright attractive plumage in their male partners and then select them.
Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium of evolution mechanism was based on facts like random mating, no natural selection, mutation, absence of gene flow, and infinite population size.
They stated that organisms mate randomly with each other without any specific or a particular preference in the phenotypes of their opposite mates
