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.

Which step in the PCR program would you have to change if your fragment would have been 10 times longer and how?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

increasing extension time

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories to amplify target DNA regions. The standard steps of a PCR are as follow 1-denaturation, 2-annealing and 3-elongation/extension. These steps are repeated 15-40 times in order to exponentially amplify the linear DNA fragment. It is well known that longer extension times can be used as a strategy to increase the yield of longer PCR products. This is because the extension time depends on the synthesis rate of the DNA polymerase used in PCR technique and the length of the DNA fragment to be amplified.
