Net energy is the amount of that is actually useable from an energy resource. Net-energy ratio is the ratio of the amount of useable energy from a resource and the amount it takes to make that energy useful. ... An energy source with high energy efficiency provides a lot of work for the amount of energy used.
<u>Answer</u>:- <em>Option 3 </em>(desert), <em>Option 4</em> (tundra) and <em>Option 5</em> (grassland).
<u>Explanation</u>:-
The amount of rainfall varies in different biomes:-
1. Tropical rain forests - The annual rainfall in these forests falls in the range of <em>125 to 660 cm</em> which varies according to the seasons.
2. Temperate rain forest - The annual rainfall in these forests can range from <em>200 cm to 350 cm</em> depending on the region where they are found. The annual rainfall is higher in warmer regions .
3. Desert - As the name suggests, the desert areas do not get enough rainfall. The annual rainfall in a desert is less than <em>25 cm</em>.
4. Tundra - It is a biome which is found in relatively cooler climates and the amount of rainfall is very less these regions. The annual rainfall in tundra biomes is less than <em>20 cm</em>.
5. Grassland - in these biomes, the rainfall is higher than the tundra and desert but is not as high as the rain forests and thus, grass is the dominant vegetation. The annual rainfall ranges from <em>60-90 cm</em>.
The answer to the first question is a.
Answer: As each cell differentiates, the <em>DNA </em>changes so that each type of cell has different <em>DNA</em> once it reaches maturity. Mutations in the cells’ nuclei lead to new combinations of <em>DNA</em>, resulting in different shapes and functions in the different types of cells.
Hope this helps!
Genetic variation is advantageous because it enables some individuals and, therefore, a population, to survive despite a changing environment.
