A marshy area dries up, and most of the organisms in a population of flowers die. However, some of the flowers have adaptations that allow them to survive the change. If the land stays dry, what will the population of flowers be like several generations from now?
A. The population will have greater genetic diversity because the additional stress caused by lower water levels will result in increased immigration.
B. The population will have the same genetic diversity as when the area was marshy.
C. The genetic diversity will be less than in the original population, as more flowers will have the adaptations to live in the drier conditions.
D. The flowers will all die off because they could not survive in the drier conditions.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
All that is left are the plants capable of surviving in dry conditions; whereas before there were plants that thrived in more marshy conditions. Therefore decreased genetic diversity. The adaptations of the plants will be much less diverse.
5. Consider two soil samples, one from a tropical rain forest and the other from a temperate
deciduous forest Predict which sample would have a greater concentration of organic
material Explain your answer
Answer:
Temperate deciduous forest
Explanation:
The temperate deciduous forest will have more organic matter concentration in it.
Organic matter is a component of biological relics found in the soil. It makes up a significant portion of the soil.
Soil organic matter should not be confused with biomass production. Rainforest due to its biodiversity is rich in organic biomass. These organic matter decays rapidly due to the humid conditions, and are become lost. Also, the rate of weathering in the rainforest is very high. This often washes and removes organic matter from the soil. These conditions are not so in the temperate forest.Which object in space emits light because it releases energy produced by nuclear fusion?

What is the impact of genetically modified corn on society and environment?
what is the answer?
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\tt 3}[/tex]
Explanation:
An element only has one type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemical means.
Let's analyze the answer choices.
1. This has two types of atoms, so it cannot be an element. It has more than one type of atom.
2. This has two types of atoms that are bonded together. It cannot be an element because there is more than one type of atom and the bonds can be broken.
3. This has one type of atoms, so it is an element.
Therefore the best answer choice is 3.

Explanation:
What challenges do Arctic areas face as a result of global warming? 2) What measures could help deal with the problem? 3) What do you predict will happen to Arctic ecosystems if no measures are taken to reverse the problem of global warming? Explain your reasoning. 4) Which measures do you think are most important to pursue?
Answer:
Global warming is defined as the environmental issue that leads to long term heating of the earth due to human activities such as burning of fossil fuels.
1. Arctic areas are facing huge challenges due to global warming that includes rising sea levels, rapid melting of ice, loss of fish stocks, birds and marine mammals, and changes in climate patterns.
2. Measures that help to deal with the problem are reduction in the use of hydrofluorocarbons, cutting emissions of black carbon, methane, reduce overfishing, and reduction of industrial waste.
3. If there will be no measure taken to reverse the problem of global warming in the Arctic ecosystem, it will cause flood and tsunami in the nearby continents due to the rapid melting of ice, changes in climate patterns, and lead to the extinction of many marine animals.
4. Reduction of industrial waste is the most important measure to pursue because industrial waste contributes most of the greenhouse gases and causes air pollution, land pollution, water pollution, and nuclear pollution. So reduction is industrial waste will reduce the emission of harmful gases in the environment that can reduce the impact of global warming.
Explain how xylem cells are adapted for their function.
Answer:
Xylem cells have no cytoplasm or end walls, meaning they form a tube through which water can pass freely to allow water transport. Lignin strengthens the cell walls, helping to support the plant.

Sex-Related inheritance: X chromosome; Non Sex-Related inheritance
What we already know:
All species under normal circumstances will have two sex chromosomes. X and Y, Y is known to be dominant. All females will have two X chromosomes (XX, one X will always be given by the mother), whereas males will have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome (XY, one X will always be given by the mother. The father, on the other hand, could give either an X or a Y, that all depends on what sex chromosome the father's sperm donated.)
So, how many chromosomes do a typical human have? Correct, a typical human has 32 chromosomes and only 2 of them are sex chromosomes. Now we must understand that the sex chromosome carries more than just the one code for the individual sex. That means that the gene codes for more than just the sex.
Building on that knowledge:
Sex-Related Inheritance that differs from sex, is carried on one or two of an individual's sex chromosome. Whereas Non-Sex-Related Inheritance is carried on the other thirty chromosomes that the individual also carries.
Sex-Related inherited genes that are passed via the father to male offsprings, carried on the Y chromosome, are easiest to spot in a family. All males will have this trait and no females will.
Non-sex-related inheritance can be passed from male to female and from female to male, this is sometimes harder to differentiate from genes carried on the X chromosome because the mother always gives an X chromosome.
Vocabulary:
phenotype: the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.

I don't know if this s right but are Ribose a type of sugar in ATP
Answer:
Yes , they call it " Ribose Sugar "
Ribose, found in RNA, is a "normal" sugar, with one oxygen atom attached to each carbon atom. Deoxyribose, found in DNA, is a modified sugar, lacking one oxygen atom (hence the name "deoxy").
The surface area/volume ratio is an important factor for one celled organisms. As a cell's volume grows, its surface area/volume ratio ______________, making it more difficult to acquire enough nutrients via diffusion. Question 7 options: increases freezes decreases stays the same
Answer: decreases
Explanation:
The surface area to the volume ratio will decrease as the volume of the cell increases or the cell gets larger. Therefore, if the volume of the cell increases beyond the certain limit the cell will not be able to imbibe nutrients as not enough material can pass through the cell membrane to accommodate the increase in volume of the cell.

Describe why Canada geese migrate to meet their basic needs.
Answer:
Canada Geese migrate because when winter gets harsh the lakes, ponds, and streams all freeze over so then the Canadian Geese can't eat, so they migrate to somewhere where there is open water. ... From their original home in the North the Canadian Geese fly all the way down to the south.
Explanation:
Answer:
Canadian geese eat grass, during the winter in Canada the snow either covers all pf the available grass, or it dies. So they travel to warmer, southern regions where their grass is still abundant.

Answer:
Carbon cycle is very important for the plants and animals that are divided into 4 steps and these steps are:
1.The carbon enters the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.Example: respiration and combustion.
2.The carbon dioxide present in the environment is used by the plants and plants expel oxygen after the process of photosynthesis.
3. Animals present in the environment eat the plants and pass on the carbon in the food chain. They exhale carbon dioxide into the environment.The plants and the animals die after a certain period of time.
4. The body of plants and animals is consumed by decomposes and the carbon is returned into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide else fossils of plants and animals are formed which contains carbon.

- The cane toad has been introduced to some ecosystems to reduce the number of
pests that damage crops. In the areas where they have been introduced, none of the
predators are immune to the protective toxins the toad produces. What is a probable
outcome from the introduction of the cane toad in the following 10 years?
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The crops will not deplete the soil. The Frog will not lose its toxin because nothing bad comes from that trait. A predator cannot adapt to a toxin in the span of only ten years. The insect population should deplete because the frog should multiply and concur the population of pests since the frog doesn't have any predators.

A student wants to investigate the force of gravity. The student has an apple and a marble. What would be the best way for the student to use these materials? Place the apple on the floor. Roll the marble so it hits the apple. Put both objects on a desk. Push them forward at the same time. Hold both objects at the same height above the floor. Drop them at the same time. Place the marble on a desk. Place the apple next to the marble so the objects touch.
Answer:
Put both objects on a desk
Explanation:
The best way to use the materials to investigate the force of gravity would be to put both objects on a desk. The force of gravity can thus be obtained by measuring the distance between the objects as well as their masses.
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of gravity (F) between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses (m and M) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (d) separating them.
Mathematically,
F = G [tex]\frac{mM}{d^2}[/tex] where G is a constant.
