Answer:  a. to decompose dead animals

Explanation:

Detritivores are the hetrotrophic organisms which feed upon detritus (dead and decaying plant and animal matter). These detritivores break down the biological dead matter into simple molecules which are readily consumed by the small microorganisms present in the soil. Detritivores are essential for the ecosystem as they return important materials such as carbon and other essential elements back to the environment after decomposing the dead matter. Example of common detritivores includes earthworms.

On the basis of the above explanation, the role of a detritivore is a. to decompose dead animals.

What was an unintended negative environmental consequence of improved technology in agriculture?
Mumz [18]

The correct answer is B. Modern technology allowed for larger expanses of land to become cultivated, so farming took over many natural areas that were important for wildlife.

Explanation:

In the last decades, the creation of agricultural technology has increased the efficiency of growing crops. This means now, all the process is more efficient, which leads to more products to be sold and an increase in profit. However, the possibility of large scale agriculture has caused more land is used for this purpose. This often implies natural ecosystems such as forests are destroyed and the land of these ecosystems, which is usually rich in minerals, is used for extensive agriculture. This is a negative consequence of agricultural technology as natural areas important for wildlife are taken for human profit.

Alekssandra [29.7K]
The correct answer is stabilising selection. This is selection that favours an average trait value. It is thought that this sort of selection is very common as traits among most animals do not appear to change drastically over time. Stabilising selection selects against the extreme traits, and leads to a decrease in genetic diversity by favouring the average phenotypes.
