Biology
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

B. Primary succession is the establishment of a community in an area with no soil, while secondary succession is the establishment of a new community in an existing ecosystem that was disturbed.

Explanation:

In Biology, ecological succession refers to changes in the structure of the populations of species that inhabit a specific area.

Primary succession starts when <u>species colonize new, previously inhabited areas with no soil.</u> The species that appear first are known as pioneer species that do not require a great amount of nutrients or soil, for example lichens.

Secondary succession refers to a situation in which <u>a previously inhabited area is re-colonized after a disturbance.</u> It begins with grasses, then followed by shrubs, and finally with trees before fauna species can also appear.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1. Character

2. Trait

3. Monohybrid cross

4. Alleles

5. Dominant allele

6. Recessive allele

7. Phenotype

8. Genotype

Explanation:

1. Character is an inherited feature passed through genes that varies in individual e.g flower colour

2. A trait is the variant form of a character e.g red and blue flower colour are variant forms of the flower colour character.

3. Monohybrid cross is a cross between two parents differing in only one character.

4. Allele is an alternate form of a gene e.g A and a alleles for gene A

5. Dominant allele is one of the allelic pair that expresses itself by masking the expression of the other allele in a heterozygous state.

6. A recessive allele is the allele that is masked or not expressed in a gene. It is covered up by the presence of the dominant allele.

7. Phenotype is the physical and visible trait of an organism e.g Tallness, colour

8. Genotype is the genetic constituent of an organism e.g AA, Aa etc.

Help! Will give brainliest to the best answer.
ohaa [14]
A nonnative species may not have any natural predators when being introduced subsequently it won’t have any competition with the other organisms living in the same ecosystem. This will make the other organisms struggle for food and other resources and could potentially make them go extinct. They can also have drastic effects to the local biodiversity (for the previous reason). Also, due to the competition or newly introduced predator (assuming they’re a predator) the preexisting organisms of the ecosystem may start to relocate and start a new ecosystem or if there are neighbouring towns/cities may have to forage for food there - which would obviously be dangerous for both them and us. Hope these few examples help.

Which of the following is not a negative consequence of upward urban growth? a. pollution b. creation of a “heat island” c. incr
Murrr4er [49]
Solution: C. Increased use of surrounding land

Upward urban growth will increase pollution as the number of people will increase. The increase in population and obstruction of free movement of air because of upward urban growth will result in a "heat island". Since the number of inhabitants is going to increase with upward urban growth, waste management will also become an issue.
