Species are organisms which have similar characteristics and are capable
of interbreeding. A common example is we human beings.
Resources leads to species biodiversity as a result of organisms moving
from one place to another in search of food for its survival. The availability
of resources will lead to an increase in reproduction and species
biodiversity as more organisms will be present in the area.
Scarcity of resources on the other hand results to lower species biodiversity
and decreased reproduction rate.

<u>Answer</u>: The answers are matched as follows:
African forests have been hunted to near extinction levels to obtain ivory-------------->human exploitation
The eruption of mount Saint Helens destroyed some populations of conifers------> natural disasters
An infection with a fungus reduced the population of North American Elm trees ----> disease
Increasing global temperatures have altered migration patterns of humpback whales ------>climate change
<u>Explanation</u>:
- <em>Human</em> <em>exploitation</em> is the unethical or selfish use of resources to satisfy their own personal needs or for any profitable activity which harms the resources in such a way that they get limited. Humans have been hunting elephants to obtain ivory for many purposes such as making jewellery etc. and earning profits from it. Due to such extensive hunting they have driven the elephants to a level of extinction and thus, this is a form of human exploitation.
- Mount Saint Helens is a volcano and its eruption which harms the population of the trees in the area is a form of natural disaster since volcanic eruption is a <em>natural</em> <em>phenomena</em>.
- Fungal infection is a <em>disease</em> which is cause by the microorganisms which harms the population of the Elm trees.
- Increase of global temperature is a type of climate <em>change</em> and thus, this effect of alteration of migration pattern is caused by climate change.
Answer:
The correct answer is: semi-conservative.
Explanation:
DNA replication is an important process in which the DNA is duplicated before cell division so each daughter cell can have a copy of genetic material.
DNA replication is <u>semi-conservative because one strand of DNA is new and the other one is the old strand</u>. To replicate itself, the DNA double helix is opened, and then each strand serves as a model for the new strands.
DNA replication is <u>not a one-step process</u>, as it takes several complicated steps in which <u>lots on enzymes participate</u> (like DNA polymerase and DNA helicase).
DNA replication is <u>also carried by prokaryotic cells</u>, though it's a much simpler process.
Genetic drift occurs when there is no random mating across a population. This causes a change in allelic frequency due to a random sampling of the population.
As the aboriginal population explored the earth, a small part of the population became geographically isolated either due to continental drift and climate changes. As the isolated population grew bigger, they established their own gene pool. This resulted a change in genotypic frequencies from that of the aboriginal population.
