B) Most metals conduct heat readily. In pure elemental forms, they
neither have basic or acidic properties. Other properties include
malleability, high melting points, high densities, and electric
conduction.
B because it’s talking about the tree itself. Saying that it’s plants would divert it to a different plant. The cells of the wood is what makes the tree and is relevant to the question
Answer:
The answer is D. Food security
Explanation:
Sustainable Agriculture:
Sustainable agriculture or farming is a combination of agricultural policies, practices and measures that yield the maximum profits and benefits without negatively impacting the environment.
Sustainable agriculture, as an idea, basically means to utilizes resources responsibly so that the future generations can reap the benefits as well.
Sustainable Farming Approaches:
Approaches to sustainable farming include policy as well as farming technique interventions. Some of these methods are:
- Crop rotations that involve planting diverse crops on a piece of land, as opposed to monoculture and intensive farming that gradually makes the soil nutrient deficient.
- Cover cropping after a season of monoculture to prevent leaving the soil bare til the next season.
- Use of renewable energy resources and integrated pet management to generate energy efficiently and minimize crop losses respectively.
Food Security:
Food security entails that healthy, nutritious and safe food is readily i.e. physically and economically available for all people. Food security is one of the major sustainability goals.
Answer: hybridisation between related species is unlikely to contribute to adaptive speciation.
Explanation: any population has natural genetic variation. The available resources are insufficient for all plants (and conversely, not all offspring survive). Natural selection favours variations better suited to the conditions.
Although hybridisation is more common in plants than animals, and can lead to speciation, adaptive radiation from an ancestral species is the general response to environmental change, such as from rainforest to savanna. There is low probability of selective advantage from hybridisation of two ancestral species adapted to niches within the original habitat when the conditions in those niches changes significantly.
