Options:

  • a lake
  • a prairie
  • the land an organic farmer uses to raise crops to feed his dairy cattle
  • a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains

Answer:

a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains

Explanation:

The land a farmer uses is likely to be quite highly regulated in order to ensure that his dairy cattle thrive. That means the growth of certain plants will be controlled, and this will likely impact diversity.

A lake and a prairie could have diverse and balanced ecosystems. However, due to the limited habitat are likely only to harbour specific organisms. E.g. the lake will only harbor organisms that thrive in water environments.

A large island will, first of all, have a lot of space to support diversity. It is in the tropics, meaning it will have species suited to a hot and wet environment. Since it is an island, there will also be the involvement of sea/ocean dwelling creatures. However, there is also mountainous habitat that has snow, meaning it is high up and cold. This provides a habitat for even more species adapted to different environments.

Therefore, the island will be the most diverse.

Answer:

a large island in the tropics that has snow-capped mountains

Explanation:

A tropical land area/ecosystem will by far have the greatest diversity in the ecosystem.

Biodiversity is the variation of life forms in an area. This is usually a function of the number of lives an area can support.

  • The tropics have abundant energy and the net production is very high.
  • Since there is availability of food for most organisms, different life form will find it easy to thrive in such an area.
  • Tropical regions of the world are the most biodiverse in the world with a rich fauna and floral abundance.

LaKeisha stepped on a piece of glass and quickly pulled her foot away from that sharp object. Which of the following are respons
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Motor nerves

Explanation:

Pulling the leg quickly from the sharp object is an example of reflex action. It includes sensory receptors, sensory neurons, interneurons, the control center (spinal cord), motor neurons and effector.

As soon as she steps on the glass piece, the receptors present in the skin of her foot sole sense it and send the information to the control center via sensory neurons. The spinal cord commands the muscles of the effector organ (leg) via motor neurons to move to step away from the glass piece.

What are the two techniques used to create a DNA profile in this experiment? What
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

RFLP, AmpFLP are the two techniques which is used to create DNA profile

Explanation:

<u>RFLP technique: </u> RFLP technique stands for “Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism”. It is molecular method of genetic analysis which allows to identified based unique pattern of restriction enzyme where DNA is cutting in specific regions. It requires large amount of sample. The costing is very high  

<u>AmpFLP: </u>The AmpFLP stands for amplified length polymorphism. It is PCR based tool. Firstly, it uses as restricted enzyme. It is cheaper than RFLP technique. It is used as genetic engineering
