A population of rabbits in an ecosystem has genetic variation in fur thickness. Some rabbits have thick fur and others have thin
fur. Due to changes in the environment, the average temperature of the ecosystem is steadily increasing. How will this environmental change likely affect the rabbit population over time?
A. Rabbits with thick fur will become more common in the population because thick fur will be a favorable trait in this changing environment.
B. Rabbits with thin fur will become more common in the population because these rabbits are more likely to survive and successfully reproduce.
C. Rabbits with thick fur and thin fur will become equally distributed because all rabbits in the population will successfully reproduce.
D. Rabbits with both fur types will increase in the population because the temperature change will cause the population of rabbits to expand.
Cyanobacteria, Anabaena and Azotobactor are called Nitrogen fixing bacteria. These bacteria change the nitrogen in the atmosphere into a form that is used by the plants to make proteins. Plants take nitrogen in the form of nitrates. The atmospheric nitrogen is first converted into ammonia after that ammonia is converted into nitrates and this nitrates use by the plants to make proteins.
Point-source pollution is easy to identify. As the name suggests, it comes from a single place. Nonpoint-source pollution is harder to identify and harder to address. It is pollution that comes from many places, all at once.
