Faunal Succession—The principle of faunal succession, also known as the law of faunal succession, is based on the observation that sedimentary rock strata contain fossilized flora and fauna, and that these fossils succeed each other vertically in a specific, reliable order that can be identified over wide horizontal distances.

Original Horizontality—The Principle of Original Horizontality states that layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally under the action of gravity. It is a relative dating technique. The principle is important to the analysis of folded and tilted strata.

lateral continuity—The principle of lateral continuity states that layers of sediment initially extend laterally in all directions; in other words, they are laterally continuous. As a result, rocks that are otherwise similar, but are now separated by a valley or other erosional feature, can be assumed to be originally continuous.

Superposition—Superposition is the ability of a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured.

Darwin concluded that the finches all shared a common ancestor but had  developed different beak structures.  The second sentence best describes as an ecosystem.

Explanation:

  • When Charles Darwin traveled to the Galapagos Islands, he observed 14 distinct varieties of finches on the islands Darwin also observed that each finch variety  ate a different type of food and lived in a slightly different habitat from the other finches, Darwin concluded that the finches all shared a common ancestor but had  developed different beak structures. The second sentence best describes as an ecosystem.
  • An ecosystem is a huge group of living organism such as plants,animals, micro-organisms in a particular area.
  • An ecosystem is a community of living organisms related with the nonliving components in the  environment, together interacting as a system.
  • its abiotic constituents, includes minerals, climate, soil, water, sunlight, and all other nonliving elements, and its biotic constituents, consists of all its living members.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The correct answer is-a polysaccharide found in animals

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide which is a highly branded form of amylopectin. In glycogen glucose residues are joined together by α1-4 glycosidic linkage and α 1-6 branching points occurs after every 8-10 glucose residues.

Glycogen is the main carbohydrate storage form of carbohydrates in animals. Glycogen is mostly present in liver and muscles. It breaks down into glucose and provide energy to the animal during the physical activity. Therefore glycogen is polysaccharide found in animals.

Which of the following is a accurate depiction of primary ecological succession?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

This question lacks options, however, primary succession will be explained for detailed comprehension.

Explanation:

Ecological succession is the gradual series of changes that occurs in an ecosystem, charging it's structure and composition over time. It is of two types namely; primary and secondary successions.

Primary succession is characterized by the "LACK OF NO SOIL". It begins on a barren piece of land e.g rocks, with no form of life previously known to colonize the area. In primary succession, the barren land is first colonized by organisms such as lichens etc., which are collectively regarded to as PIONEER SPECIES.

Flu vaccines need to be revised and changed every year because the flu virus constantly mutates. Flu viruses can change in two ways: drift or shift. Antigenic drift occurs when genes of the virus slowly change during replication until the immune system no longer recognizes it. On the other hand, antigenic shift occurs when a major change in the virus happens. This usually leads to a totally different kind of virus. This is what happened during the H1N1 scare in 2009.

DNA viruses like mumps are less prone to mutation due to the presence of DNA polymerase. RNA viruses are more prone to mutation because they undergo reverse transcription to simulate the role of DNA.
