Describe the main difference between primary and secondary succession.

Biology

Answer:

Primary succession is one of two types of biological and ecological succession of plant life, occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and other organisms usually lack soil.

Secondary succession is one of the two types of ecological succession of a plant's life. It is the process started by an event (e.g. forest fire, harvesting, hurricane, etc.) that reduces an already established ecosystem (e.g. a forest or a wheat field) to a smaller population of species, and as such secondary succession occurs on preexisting soil whereas primary succession usually occurs in a place lacking soil.

Explanation:

Primary succession takes time for completion around 1000 years, whereas secondary succession area takes 200 years for completion. In primary succession, there is a lack of soil and humus for the sustaining of life whereas, in secondary succession, soil and humus are present with some organisms.

A Secondary succession can take a few hundred years.

To feel an impulse, the receptor must be sent a signal to the brain where it could be interpreted. The signal should be caught by the receptor, send into the spinal cord, then arrives at the brain.
1. Object touch the heel 
2. impulses generated in the receptor cells
3. impulses transmitted through a sensory neuron
4. impulses transmitted through neurons in the spinal cord
5. impulses reach the brain
6. brain process the impulses
7. you feel the object touching your heel

2)
Nerves
Spinal cord
Brain

The nervous system is made of central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is made of the network of nerves. The central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord that will receive impulse and send a response afterward. While brain could send the various signal, spinal cord could only send responses for reflexes.

3)
a. the diagram is showing Neuron cell
The nervous system is made up of multiple neuron cells. The neuron cells are specialized in sending a signal. It has a long axon that could deliver the signal far away. The signal is only one way though, so you will need a different neuron for receiving receptor signal and sending a response signal.


b. Two missing labels in the picture would be: axon.
It seems both of the label pointing out to the axon of the nerve cell. Since both of it pointing the same neuron cell, it should have the same name. Axon has a role in delivering nutrient and signal across the body.

c.  Myelin sheath will allow the signal to run faster. This will help in a process that needs speed like reflexes. The sheath will cover a part of the neuron and prevent the ion exchange. Myelin sheath stop in some part called node of Ranvier. This will allow the action potential to "leap" from node to node, make it travel much faster.

Pollen and Ovules are gametes. How many chromosomes would they have compared to the rest of the plant's body cells? What process
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

a. They would have half chromosomes as much as the plants body cells.

b. Meiosis

Explanation:

Gametes are sex cells produced only in sexually reproducing organisms. In plants as stated in this question, male gametes are contained in pollens while female gametes are contained in ovules. The process by which these gametes are made is called MEIOSIS.

Meiosis is a cell division that reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half. This means that each GAMETE will contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Fir example, if the body cell of a plant contains 30 chromosomes, each gamete formed via Meiosis in that plant will have 15 chromosomes.

In a nutshell, pollen and ovules, which are gametes of plants formed by MEIOSIS would have half chromosomes as much as the plants body cells.

Nana76 [90]

Answer: A

Explanation: PCR help to create multiples of copies, it can produce millions of copies of DNA sequence in a test type in limited or few hours. PCR has revolutionize molecular biology, and it has become an essential tools for biologist, physicians or anyone who really want to work on the DNA.
