Answer:

Grasses

Explanation:

This question is describing secondary succession, which is the type of succession that occurs when a given area has being disturbed by natural disasters like hurricane, volcanic eruption, fire outbreak etc.

In secondary succession, the first set of organisms that recolonize the area after the disturbance are called PIONEER SPECIES. Pioneer species can include small annual plants like grasses. Hence, among the given options, GRASSES are likely to be the first organisms to colonize an area after a disturbance.

<span>The cell has 1% concentration of the salt. The external environment is highly concentrated with 25% saline solution. This will lead to release of water outside the cell, by passive diffusion from a region of high conentration of solvent to lower concentration. Thus, the cell will shrink.</span>

Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide negatively affects coral reefs by: select one:
Ksenya-84 [330]
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will diffuse to the ocean water (since normally, there is lower concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean water). The dissolved carbon dioxide takes into the form of carbonic acid thereby increasing acidity of ocean water. More often than not, the acidification of ocean water leads to detrimental results especially in marine organisms that are pH sensitive such as coral reefs and many invertebrates.

Predict what the calf produced in a union between each of these parents might look like. Explain your answers.
Charra [1.4K]
We know that purebred means that the organism contains the same alleles for the trait and hybrid means that it contains two different alleles for the trait. Dominant means that it will be shown in a hybrid and a purebred, but recessive traits will only be shown in purebred recessive organisms.

a) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull, would be all hybrid brown (dominant). This is because as I stated above, dominant traits are shown when the offspring has both dominant and recessive alleles for the same trait.

b) The offspring of a purebred brown (dominant) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull would all be purebred brown (dominant). This is because if both of the parents have only alleles that code for brown color, the only color that the offspring can be is brown.

c) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred white (recessive ) bull would all be purebred white (recessive), for the same reason stated above in part b), the only difference being that the alleles are recessive and code for white color instead of being dominant and coding for brown color.

d) The offspring of a hybrid brown (dominant) cow and a purebred white (recessive) bull would be half hybrid brown (dominant) and half purebred white (recessive). This can be seen best if you set up a Punnett Square, which is a diagram that shows allele frequencies in offspring. This shows you that the chance that the offspring get the dominant allele from the mother cow is 50%, thus 50% would be hybrid brown (dominant), as the father can contribute only a recessive white allele. The other 50% would be purebred white (recessive) because the mother cow would be contributing a white allele and so would the father.

Hope this helps! :)
