what are the two factors that create the difference between the temperate forest biome in the taiga biome

1 answer:

8 0

The temperate forest biome covers latitudes ranging approximately from the southern United States to southern Canada, while the taiga biome, also known as boreal forest, extends from the latitude of southern Canada to about 60 degrees north latitude. (see References 1, References 3) Thus, these two biomes are adjacent, which explains the many similarities between taiga and northern temperate forests. Both biomes have four distinct seasons, but the temperate forest climates cover a much wider range of temperatures and precipitation patterns. Taiga, in contrast, is reliably cold: most of the precipitation falls as snow, winters are severe and the growing season is short -- about 130 days compared to 140 to 200 days for temperate forests.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Show that life can only come from life (rather than spontaneous generation)

Explanation:

Pasteur boiled a broth in a flask with an S-shaped neck. Thebend in the neck prevented particles from the air reaching the broth, but still allowed air to get in. No bacteria grew in the flask.

When the flask neck was broken so that particles could get inside, the broth became cloudy, showing that microorganisms were only able to grow from other living things from the outside, and not spontaneously from nothing

Paragraph<br> 2. In an atomic model, what particles are found inside the nucleus of an atom?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The protons and the neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom.

Explanation:

Atoms are best described as the smallest unit of any matter.

Protons can be described as part of an atom which carries a positive charge. The protons are enclosed in the nucleus of the atom.

The neutron is the part of the atom that carries zero charge. The neutron is also enclosed in the nucleus of the atom.

The electrons can be described as the part of an atom that carries a negative charge. The electrons move around the nucleus in orbits.

10. Researchers observe a large population of birds on a remote island. Birds in the population are found to have either red cre

IgorLugansk [536]

Suppose that the proportion of the white crest alleles (r) is given by w and that of the Red crest allele (R) is given by p. We have that p+w=1. The probability that an individual has 2 r alleles is given by w*w since for each allele position the probability is w. Only these individuals have a White phenotype. Hence, we get that w^2= $\frac{1759}{1759+11088}$ ; the right hand side is the proportion of white birds in the total population. Doing the calculations, this yields that w=0.37. From this, we calculate that p=0.63. The possible ways we have heterozygous individuals are the combinations Rr and rR. The probability for each of those is p*w. Thus, the total probability is 2pw. This is equal to 0.466=0.47. This is the fraction of the future population that is going to be heterozygous assuming the conditions of the Handy-Weinberg equilibrium like random reproductive matching etc.

if the number of births in a population is greater than the number of deaths what would you expect to see in terms of population

Lilit [14]

The population would increase drastically and we would run out of resources for food. then the birth rates would eventually equal out to number of death rates . we then wouldnt have anyone alive
