Answer:

B. Competition for light and moisture

Explanation:

Plants grow towards sunlight which is necessary for photosynthesis, of which they utilize sunlight, carbondioxide, and moisture to manufacture their food. In the tropical rain forest, competition is intense among plants for sunlight and moisture.

The trees/plants that are able to get enough sunlight and moisture gain advantage over others as they grow bigger and taller, as the rest struggle to get some sunlight and moisture. The canopy of taller trees usually cut-off sunlight from teaching shorter trees, thereby making availability of sunlight to the shorter trees quite limited. As a result of this, we have variations of trees with different height in the tropical rainforest.

Answer:

I am not 100% sure but my best guess would be the object is moving backwards/falling.

Explanation:

The graph shows the position of the object going from almost 9.0 to below zero. There are many situations that could fit this. Such as, something going above and below sea level. OR something moving in front and behind a certain point. My best guess would be moving backward towards an object OR falling from a certain point.

Do you think we should use technology to alter/manipulate our genetic code? Explain.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: Yes and No

Explanation: I think that we should use technology to alter our genetic code if someone is ill/sick because it is actually beneficial, but I think we shouldn't dive too deep or get lost in altering genes because it can cause unintended consequences.
