Which of the following is an example of mechanical control of nonnative species?a. pesticides
b. herbicides
c. net barriers
d. inspecti

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is c. net barriers.

Non-native species can do a great harm to native species or ecosystem and there are many ways to control them. Net barriers are mechanical control. Pesticides and herbicides are chemical control. There are also natural (biological control) control, such as diseases and pests, and environmental control, by altering the environment.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

C) net barriers

Explanation:

Both A and B are forms of chemical control and D, inspections, is a tool used to determine what type of control is needed. A is one form of mechanical control.

A: When an invasive species first becomes introduced into a new area, there may be a chance to eradicate it through a rapid response action if it is detected in time. If eradication is not possible, then the species may be subject to control and management efforts. Regardless of whether the goal is eradication or control/management, there are a suite of different options, which differ depending on the species, which one must consider. When making decisions on which options to use, one must use an Integrated Pest Management approach to choose the options which will be the most environmentally sound yet still affect the invasive species as strongly as possible. The various options for eradication/control/management include:

Physical or Mechanical Control - This type of control involves physically removing the invasive species (i.e. harvesting) or using barriers or traps to prevent their spread or to capture them. For invasive plants, mowing is another example of physical control.

Chemical Control - This type of control involves all sorts of pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, piscicides, etc.) Although chemical use can be very effective, they can be very dangerous to other species or to the ecosystem in general and must be used in an environmentally sound manner. The key is to choose chemicals that are low-risk yet effective and that can be applied when the pest is at its most vulnerable.

Cultural Management - Cultural management is the manipulation of the habitat in ways that increase the mortality of the invasive species or reduce its rates of increase and damage. Cultural management that can affect invasive species including: selection of pest resistant varieties of crops, mulching, winter cover crops, changing planting dates to minimize insect impact, burning, flooding, crop rotations that include non-susceptible crops, moisture management, addition of beneficial insect habitat, or other habitat alterations that help the native species compete better against the invasive ones.

Biological Controls - This type of control is the purposeful use of an invasive species’ enemies (predators, parasites, and pathogens) – in other words other exotic species – to reduce the invasive species populations. This option involves much research and testing to be sure the species to be used preys only on the target invasive species.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of metals?-high luster
-conducts electric current
-forms crystalline solids
-brittle

Answers

The right option is; Brittle

Metals are substances or chemical elements that form a metallic bond with other metal atoms. Metals are usually lustrous, ductile, opaque, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Metals form crystalline solids at room temperature and they are not brittle. Examples of metals include copper, silver, iron, mercury and sodium.



Brittle is not a characteristic of the metals.

Further Explanation:

Metals are chemical substances that are inorganic in nature. The most abundant possess are sodium, magnesium, iron, aluminum, and calcium. The copper, platinum, silver, gold not readily react with other elements so they are present in free-state. The characteristics of metal are:

  • High conductivity
  • Malleable
  • Ductile
  • Hard

Metals are mainly crystalline in nature. The crystal structure of metals is very simple with a relatively high degree of symmetry. The metal reacts readily with other non-metal. The reactivity of metals are different from each other, lithium and potassium are highly reactive metal compound. The platinum, palladium, gold, and silver are very low reactive compounds. The metals are usually malleable and ductile in nature that means they can be transformed into wire and sheet. The brittle substances do not possess these characteristics and therefore, brittleness is not a characteristic of metals.

Why are the two phases of meiosis important for gamete formation​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

All cells including the gametes contain chromosomes. Each gamete cell after cell division contains 23 chromosomes. After fertilization, the diploid number of chromosomes which is 46 is restored in the zygote.

Meiosis, a type of cell division, has two phases which eventually lead to the formation of four daughter cells with equal number of chromosomes. Gametes are haploid in nature and thus meiosis I involves separation of homologous chromosomes hence the reduction in the chromosome number. Meiosis II involves separation of sister chromatids in the daughter cells resulting in four daughter cells with 23 chromosomes.

Meiosis ensures that chromosoe number does not double with each successive generation as the resulting daughter cells are gametes, two of which must fuse to form a zygote.
