Textbook Question
Chapter 52.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? → Changes in Earth's climate at the end of the last ice age happened gradually, taking centuries to thousands of years. If the current global warming happens very quickly, as predicted, how may this rapid climate change affect the evolution of long-lived trees compared with that of annual plants, which have much shorter generation times?

Sexual reproduction in plants provides genetic variation. What are the benefits of this genetic
variation?
O If a population is presented with a rapid change in the environment or a chronic new pathogen or herbivore,
then genetic variability would increase the chances of survival of the population.
O Sexual reproduction produces less genetic variations which enables a population to co-evolve with other
organisms in it's ecosystem.
O Sexual reproduction reduces genetic variations which enables a population to take advantage of different
resources in it's ecosystem enabling it to exist in a the same niche as others that use the original resources.
O Sexual reproduction will always produce a more fit organism.

How would you change the simulation to reflect this? What is the relationship between increased carbon in the ocean and increased carbon in the soil? How else might carbon be transferred to soil?

Is the relationship linear?arrow_forwardSUBJECT: GENERAL BIOLOGY 1 / CAM and C4 Photosynthesis Plant adaptation is varied among all organisms present on Earth’s fauna. Also, we can’t deny the fact that as time goes by, the amount of carbon rises making it more complicated for the rest of organisms to adapt and survive. In relation to their specialized features, predict how C4 and CAM plants will each respond to a doubling of the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.arrow_forwardPls give answer and explain in detailarrow_forward

If during the plant’s lifetime it produces 100,000 seeds, how many do not survive, do not grow, and cannot replace it when it dies.
