Human caused reductions of biodiversity, include pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation.

Biology
1 answer:
Andrew [12]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Development, together with globalization, drove severe changes at a global level. The natural and original environments suffered from these effects and still are.

Human beings have constantly been altering the natural ecosystems and causing irreparable damages to nature. For many decades, development involved society and technology advance over new areas unpopulated by humans.

<u>Some</u> of the principal human activities responsible for biodiversity loss are

  • the uncontrolled use of unrenewable resources,
  • overexploitation of renewable resources;
  • land destruction for the mining industry, farming and cattle industry, buildings, and other infrastructures;
  • the unplanned advance of cities, and opening of new roads to connect those cities.  

All of them involving

  • deforestation and fragmentation of natural landscapes;
  • water, air, and soil pollution,
  • species loss, and reduction of biodiversity.

With globalization, transport around the world became normal. And when traveling around the world, new species are intentionally or unintentionally transported too. When these species, of animal or vegetable origin, get established in a new area, they overgrow to the point of turning invasive.

Invasive species are uncontrollable and cause severe damage in native endemic species by competing for resources. The whole ecosystem structure changes.

But there are some background glitches in the system that are the principal responsible for all the mentioned activities. Some important aspects are lacking

  • The respect for nature,
  • People´s education at different levels to care and protect wildlife,
  • Interest in keeping ancestral knowledge,
  • Planning and previous environmental impact studies,
  • Policies to control human activities,
  • Caring involved government.

If, as a society, we lack these aspects, the possibilities of changing our impact on nature are far away.

Which is the role of restriction enzymes?
dezoksy [38]
Restriction enzymes and or restriction endonucleases are involved at recognizing specific sequence of nucleotides and cutting or splicing them at appropriate regions to produce fragments that can either be sticky ends or blunt ends depending on where they cut and the nature of nucleotides involved within the fragments. They play an important role in genetic engineering, as geneticists can use them for placing into extra chromosomal information and or content of plasmids in certain bacteria, from other sources, for instance antibiotics, grow and or produce many individual colonies of bacteria, isolate them and one would have many sequences for instance that can code for an antibiotic that can be extracted and used further. Assuming the bacteria's plasmid can take in that sequence.

The formation of pyrimidine dimers results from which of the following?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

exposure to ultraviolet radiation is a correct answer.

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light exposure results in the formation of pyrimidine dimers. Ultraviolet radiation damage the DNA by resulting in chemical changes.

Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the pyrimidine bases( cytosine and thymine in DNA) and result in the formation of covalent bonds between the succeeding bases.

The formation of the pyrimidine dimers results in the distortions of DNA helix and disrupt the base-pairing during the replication of DNA which results in a mutation.
