Biology

Answer:

Natural watersheds are naturally occurring pathways that leads rain water or snow into the lakes/streams/dams. the land topography determines the direction and velocity of the water flow. In natural occurring watersheds there is little to no nutrient loss

Clear cutting is the process of cutting down trees in a specific area. The removal of all trees exposes causes a number of problems such as soil erosion, washing away of nutrients due to the lack of trees that normally hold the water, and increased stream flow.

Answer:

A watershed is a region obtaining both land and water. This is a shallow land region which accumulates water from drainage obtain from different sources like lake, river and pond.  A watershed may also develop in a forest ecosystem. The clear cutting of forest will result expose more amount of soil nutrients for erosion by water as compared to natural forest. Therefore, nutrient loss will be higher in clear- cut watershed than natural forest watershed.

Scientist claims that Elysia chlorotica, a species of Sea slug, is capable of photosynthesis. which of the following observation
joja [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - B) Elysia Chlorotica grows when exposed to light in the absence of other food sources

Explanation:

If placing Elysia Chlorotica in presence of the food sources in the presence or absence of light it still grows as normal. However, if placing in the light in absence of the food sources it should not grow if it is not able to perform photosynthesis but it does which means there is a photosynthesis process also involve in the Elysia.

Photosynthesis is the process that involves the production of energy and nutrition in presence of light with water and atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Color in McIver beetles is determined by two alleles at one gene locus. McIver beetles must have a heterzygous genotype (genotyp
seraphim [82]

Answer: The frequency of brown beetles is 0.32.

Explanation: The frequency of A1 allele is 0.8. As p+q=1, or the sum of dominant and recessive frequencies equals 1 or 100%:

1 - 0.8 = 0.2

In Hardy-Weinberg principle,

p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} = 1

2pq represents the frequency of heterozygote individuals, so:

genotype A1A2 = 2*0.8*0.2 = 0.32.

Thus, the frequency of brown beetles (A1A2) in the population is 0.32.
