The meaning of saying that ‘ our descendent are not going to forgive us’.
Introduction:
Ecology is the study of the interaction of organisms with one another and with the environment. Ecology involves the study of both biotic as well as abiotic components. Biotic components are those that are living like animals, plants, etc. and abiotic components are the non-living components like soil, air, water, etc.
Explanation of Solution
In the living world, we see a large number of microorganisms, animals and plants. These organisms possess some unique characteristics in terms of morphology and behavior that distinguishes them from others. This diversity in the living world is called biodiversity.
Biodiversity is determined by the variety of life forms that are present in a given geographical area. The more the biodiversity, the healthier the ecosystem will be. We, as human being are quite dependent on biodiversity for almost everything. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, the houses that we built, all are gained from nature. Without biodiversity, we will not be able to survive for even a single day. This is the reason why biodiversity conservation is a pressing issue all around the globe. Biodiversity conservation is important as many animals and plants possess some unique features that are of great value to mankind. For example, many herbs in the mountainous regions have medicinal properties. Rhinoceros horns are useful in making medicines. Due to these valuable characteristics, these living creatures are exploited and poached for their skin, horns, tusks, etc. But if the present trend continues, we will not be able to protect these animals and soon they will become extinct. As a result, the future generations will not be able to enjoy the characteristics of these creatures and will be doomed.
This has been regarded as the “folly” that our descendants will not be able to forgive.
The conservation of biodiversity is the need of the hour for today and is essential for sustainable development.

The alula pattern of its wings is determined by a single autosomal gene with four alleles that exhibit an unknown hierarchy of dominance. Genetic testing shows that individuals 1-1, 11-4, 11-7, III-1, and III-4 are each homozygous. How many possible genotypes among checkered eagles in the population?arrow_forward
