12.What is an invasive species?

Biology
1 answer:
blsea [12.9K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

An invasive species is an introduced organism that becomes overpopulated and negatively alters its new environment. Although their spread can have beneficial aspects, invasive species adversely affect the invaded habitats and bioregions, causing ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage.

To be invasive, a species must adapt to the new area easily. It must reproduce quickly. It must harm property, the economy, or the native plants and animals of the region. Many invasive species are introduced into a new region accidentally

A keystone species is an organism that helps define an entire ecosystem. Without its keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether. ... Any organism, from plants to fungi, may be a keystone species; they are not always the largest or most abundant species in an ecosystem

An invasive species is an organism that is not indigenous, or native, to a particular area. Invasive species can cause great economic and environmental harm to the new area.

Faunal Succession—The principle of faunal succession, also known as the law of faunal succession, is based on the observation that sedimentary rock strata contain fossilized flora and fauna, and that these fossils succeed each other vertically in a specific, reliable order that can be identified over wide horizontal distances.

Original Horizontality—The Principle of Original Horizontality states that layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally under the action of gravity. It is a relative dating technique. The principle is important to the analysis of folded and tilted strata.

lateral continuity—The principle of lateral continuity states that layers of sediment initially extend laterally in all directions; in other words, they are laterally continuous. As a result, rocks that are otherwise similar, but are now separated by a valley or other erosional feature, can be assumed to be originally continuous.

Superposition—Superposition is the ability of a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured.

What will happen if plants drink salt water
mart [117]
If someone pours salt water on a plant that is supposed to receive fresh water, the effects on the plant are swift and severe, beginning with the draining of existing water out of the plant cell.<span> Then, the cell membrane separates from the cell wall in a process known as plasmolysis. Ultimately, the plant shrivels up and no longer thrives</span>

The _______________ pathway of RNA interference is a result of double stranded DNA entering a eukaryotic cell.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

siRNA.

Explanation:

The RNA interference may be defined as the evolutionary conserved mechanism that helps in the gene regulation by the silencing of the small RNA molecules. Two main types are  siRNA and miRNA.

The siRNA (small interference RNA) is involved in the protection of the cell by destroying the exogenous ds DNA of the cell. The DICER  enzyme plays an important role in the processing of the small interference RNA and the guide strand of RNA is involved in the gene silencing.

Thus, the answer is option (a).
