Scientists who study biogeochemical cycles often use the term fixation to describe converting an element from gaseous form in the atmosphere to solid form in the biosphere. For example, in the nitrogen cycle, bacteria are said to fix nitrogen by converting N2 gas into nitrates and nitrites in the soil that are later used to make organic macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. There are many processes involved in cycling carbon, but only one is able to fix carbon from its gaseous form in the atmosphere to solid form in the biosphere. Which process performs carbon fixation

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. in some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. in the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. applying the biological species concept, the sterility of ligers reveals that a. lions are probably a subspecies of tigers b. tigers and lions are the same species c. a new species called "ligers" is forming d. tigers and lions are separate species

Will mark brainliest i only need the ! 1.use ten beads and a centromere of one color to construct the long chromosome. use ten beads and a centromere of a second color to construct the second chromosome in the long pair. make a drawing of the chromosomes in the space below. 2. for the second pair of chromosomes, use only five beads. 3. now model the replication of the chromosomes. make a drawing of your model in the space below. part b: meiosis i during meiosis i, the cell divides into two diploid daughter cells. 4. pair up the chromosomes to form tetrads. use the longer tetrad to model crossing-over. make a drawing of the tetrads in the space below. 5. line up the tetrads across the center of your “cell.” then model what happens to the chromosomes during anaphase i. 6. divide the cell into two daughter cells. use the space below to make a drawing of the result. part c: meiosis ii during meiosis ii, the daughter cells divide again. 7. line up the chromosomes at the center of the first cell, one above the other. separate the chromatids in each chromosome and move them to opposite sides of the cell. 8. repeat step 7 for the second cell. 9. divide each cell into two daughter cells. use the space below to make a drawing of the four haploid cells

The is an estimate of the fewest number of organisms a population needs to avoid extinction. this measurement will most if the number of offspring each female in the population produces increases. if the population's this measurement will most likely increase. 1 population density, minimum viable population, carrying capacity 2 decrease, be unaffected, increase 3 death rate increase, dead rate decrease
