Nitrogen Fixation. Good luck :)
Prokaryotes have a significant role in decomposition of organic matter, bringing back key nutrients into the trophic network. By decomposing dead plant or animal parts, they enable the circulation of elements like phosphorus and sodium.
On the other hand, specialized bacteria have a role in transforming nitrogen compounds in the soil, converting them into chemical forms that are suitable for other organisms to use.
Rinderpest disease is caused by a virus that affects hoofed animals, including cattle and wildebeest. In the 1950s, a cattle vaccination program was implemented to eradicate the disease in the Serengeti, and this led to dramatic changes in the populations of wildebeest and other species. The figure shows the number of wildebeest in the Serengeti ecosystem (shaded circles, left y-axis) and the prevalence (i.e., percentage) of individuals infected by rinderpest disease (unshaded squares and triangles, right y-axis) from 1958 to 2003.
D. Always be nice to the patient and assure them you are capable.
Answer:
<em>(I) Lamarckism or Theory of Inheritance of Acquired characters.</em>
This theory is based on the comparison between the contemporary species of Jean Baptiste de Lamarck's time to fossil records.
<em>(II) Darwinism or Theory of Natural Selection.</em>
Charles Darwin made an extensive study of nature for over 20 years, especially in 1831-1836 when he went on a voyage on the famous ship “H.M.S. Beagle” and explored South America, the Galapagos Islands and other islands.
<em>(III) Mutation theory of De Vries.</em>
The mutation theory of evolution was proposed by a Dutch botanist, Hugo de Vries (1848-1935 A.D.) in 1901 A.D. in his book entitled “Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation”. He worked on evening primrose (Oenothera lamarckiana).
<em>(IV) Neo-Darwinism or Modern concept or Synthetic theory of evolution.</em>
The detailed studies of Lamarckism, Darwinism and Mutation theory of evolution showed that no single theory is fully satisfactory. Neo-Darwinism is a modified version of theory of Natural Selection and is a sort of reconciliation between Darwin’s and de Vries theories.
