The order in which toxic nitrogen compounds are converted to less toxic nitrogen compounds in the nitrogen cycle is NH3 ----> NO2-   -----> NO3-

The nitrogen cycle refers to the movement of nitrogen in the ecosystem. The process of converting nitrogen into less toxic forms of nitrogen which is useful to plants is called nitrification.

During the process of nitrification, ammonia or ammonium is first converted to nitrates by the action of the microorganism called nitrosomonas. Nitrobacter converts nitrites to nitrates which are useful to plants.

Hence, the order in which toxic nitrogen compounds are converted to less toxic nitrogen compounds in the nitrogen cycle is NH3 ----> NO2-   -----> NO3-

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C. Disruptive Selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.  

The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.  

The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.  

Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators
