Answer: Yes, estimation of a population of plant species in a given area. The tool I used was a QUADRAT.

Explanation:

Plants in a small area are easy to count and their distribution is recorded on a map or scale diagram for the area. For larger areas, quadrats are used to obtain a fairly accurate estimate of the number and types of plants in those large areas.

The ESTIMATION of the population of plants can be done using a method called the quadrat sampling method. Here, a QUADRAT which is a rectangular or square frame(tool) made from thick wire, is thrown at random several times. On each landing, the area covered by if is observed. The type of species and their number within the quadrat are recorded. The average number of times each species appears is calculated and the most frequent or dominant species is then determined.

Some quadrats are specially made to mark off an area for the study of seasonal variations of plants. They are sturdier, larger and permanent and can thus serve their purpose through the seasons. These quadrats often have a mapping grid attached so that the flora within it can be mapped at regular intervals.

The oak tree pathogen Phytophthora ramorum migrated 650 km in ten years. West Nile virus spread from New York to 46 others state

Answer:

B) the mobility of their hosts

Explanation:

A pathogen that attacks an oak trees and a pathogen that attacks humans doesn't really have that big of a difference, but on the other side we can see that the pathogen that attacks the oak trees is spreading out much less and over much smaller territory than the pathogen attacking humans. The main reason behind this is the mobility of the host of the pathogen and where the host of it lives. In the case with the oak trees, the pathogen will be migrating very slowly over smaller distance because there's only certain places where the oak trees live, and also they are not mobile, and the pathogen will be able to spread out only through their seeds and cones which is a slow process. On the other hand, the pathogen attacking humans will manage to spread out very quickly over very large area because there are humans living in lot of places, their numbers are high, and their mobility is easy and quick over large distances, so the pathogen will travel with its host easily for hundreds or thousands of kilometers and then spread out in another place far away.

What is the human female reproductive system is adapted for? A. Production of zygotes in ovaries B. External fertilization of ga

victus00 [196]

Answer:

D. Transport of oxygen through a placenta to a fetus.

Explanation:

Zygotes are fertilized egg cell, zygotes aren't produced in the ovaries but ovums or egg cells are produced in the ovaries. So option A is false.

Fertilization is internal not external in human. Option B is wrong.

Production of milk happens in the mammary gland (the breast) not in the reproductive system. Option C is false.

Transport of oxygen through a placenta to a fetus. The placenta is a vascular organ which is implanted in the wall of the uterus (a part of the female reproductive system) and links to the foetus through the umbilical cord.
