Which term refers to the final stage in a forest development

Answer:

Old-growth stage or primary forest stage is the climax stage or the last stage in a forest development.

Explanation:

There are four stages which occur in an ecological succession of forest in a sequential manner which are:

1) Standard initiation or open Shrub stage, which is characterized by the presence large amount of Sunlight on the forest floor which provides essential energy for the plants to grow, it is dominated by new plants or grass.

2)Stem exclusion stage, which is characterized by the presence of shade-intolerant shrubs and shade-tolerant shrubs which slowly begins to dominate the area

3)understory re-initiation or young stage, which is characterized by the presence of canopy of the forest from where no sunlight can reach the forest floor, and

4)The old-growth stage or gap dynamic stage or primary forest stage. In the primary forest stage is characterized by the presence of trees of different ages and the canopy of the forest which is the continuous green cover of the forest becomes discontinuous.        

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

the answer is c because it is most logical.
