Answer:
B. the appearance of lichens and mosses in an area where a glacier has recently melted away
Explanation:
Ecological succession, which refers to the series of changes that occurs over time in an ecosystem, can be of two types namely: primary succession and secondary succession.
Primary succession is a succession that involves an area where no form of life has grown previously, hence, the area of land is barren e.g bare rock. Primary succession is first colonized by species called PIONEER SPECIES e.g. lichens, mosses etc.
According to this question, "the appearance of lichens and mosses (pioneer species) in an area where a glacier has recently melted away" is an example of PRIMARY SUCCESSION.
Answer:
New allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection.
Explanation:
Recombination may be defined as the process of the exchange of the genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non sister chromatid. The combined trait will be visible in the upcoming generation.
The recombination allows the generation of the new genes in the population. These new genes if beneficial for the population will be pass to the next generations. The new allele will be favored by the natural selection and increases the chance of survival of the population.
Thus, the correct answer is new allele combinations are acted upon by natural selection.
Answer:
As light intensity increases (distance between lamp and plant decreases) the volume of oxygen (or the rate of bubble production) increases. This indicates that the rate of photosynthesis increases with light intensity. However, at sufficiently high levels of light intensity, the rate oxygen evolution remains constant.
A zoonosis (zoonotic disease or zoonoses -plural) is an infectious disease that is transmitted between species from animals to humans (or from humans to animals).
Answer:
Oceanic crust is thinner and denser than continental crust.
