Emergent plants, like cattails and bulrushes, are tall aquatic plants that have roots that lie underwater but stems and leaves t

hat extend out of the water. These plants play a critical role in the ecological succession of a pond.
During the ecological succession of a pond, how is the appearance of emergent plants most likely to affect the organisms of the pond?
A.
Emergent plants cannot provide food and shelter for fish and amphibians, so fewer birds and other predators are attracted to the pond.
B.
Emergent plants contribute layers of decaying matter to the pond, providing food for decomposers and raising the floor of the pond.
C.
Emergent plants increase the amount of sunlight submerged plants receive, so more of these plants grow.
D.
Emergent plants exhaust the nutrients and other resources in a pond, making it uninhabitable for other organisms.

Explain how predators differ from parasites. give an example of each kind of organism
dsp73

Parasite: Parasites are different from predators because parasites only take resources from one host, whereas predators eat many prey. A good example of this is the trematode parasite Schistosoma mansoni. An adult schistosome parasite lives inside of just one human host

The population in South Africa is more prone to sickle cell anemia (genotype "ss"). People with genotype "ss" survive only up to
lions [1.4K]
The answer is stabilizing selection.

<span>Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by the presence of two recessive alleles "s", so genotype is "ss". This disorder is characterized by sickle hemoglobin. In an area with malaria, heterozygous individuals "Ss" (with one dominant allele and one recessive allele) have an advantage. These individuals will have both normal and sickle hemoglobin. But pathogen that causes malaria affect only normal hemoglobin, so heterozygous individuals will have half of the hemoglobin resistant to the pathogen and those individuals are resistant to malaria.</span>

Stabilizing selection favors heterozygotes Ss,  disruptive selection favors dominant (SS) and recessive (ss) homozygotes, while directional selection favors dominant (SS) or recessive (ss) homozygote. Since in this example, people with genotype Ss (heterozygotes) are in advantage, then this is an example of stabilizing selection.
