Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

A river that is diverted to the irrigating farmland during a drought is an example of the human-caused disturbances to an ecosystem.

An ecosystem refers to a particular community within which the organisms exist and interact with each other. For example, fresh water ecosystem, desert ecosystem and forest ecosystem.

In the given situation, the river channel is disturbed by changing its flow direction. This is caused by the human activity, that changes the course of the river channel to the farmlands during a flood, so that the water can provide nutrient to the soil and prevent the soil from getting eroded.

Thus, by doing this, the river ecosystem gets affected, as a result of which the organisms existing in this ecosystem such as fishes are affected.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

What is one difference between natural selection and artificial selection?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Natural selection and selective breeding can cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. For this reason, selective breeding is sometimes called artificial selection.

Explanation:

Meiosis makes genetic variety possible. It makes sperm & egg cells called gametes. Each gamete has 23 chromosomes. To make a diploid cell two gametes (sperm & cell) come together.

During prophase 1 the chromosomes pair up with their homologous pairs so they can transfer their genetic information and exchange it between each other. It makes recombinant chromosomes that influence the genetic diversity between the same people.

Now they are in metaphase 1, the chromosomes are in pairs in the middle of the cell. In anaphase 1, the chromosomes are pulled away by the spindle fibers. Then in telophase 1, there are two formed nuclei. Cytokinesis 1 then splits the cytoplasm.

Now they are in meiosis 2. During prophase 2, there are chromosomes and the spindles are starting to form again without crossing over like in prophase 1. In metaphase 2, chromosomes are going to line up in the middle in both cells unlike during metaphase 1 where the chromosomes were only in pairs.  In anaphase 2, only the chromatids are being pulled away by the spindle fibers. Next in telophase 2 the nuclei reform and the 2 cells are each going to divide into 4 cells. Finally, cytokinesis completely splits the cytoplasm.

Keeping in mind that each sex only produces one type of gamete cell (sperm or eggs), and of the independent assortment and crossing over of chromosomes, the end result will be diversity.
