Discuss the impact of human activities on the diversity of plants and animals The greater the number of alleles all members of a species possess, the greater the genetic diversity and the greater the genetic diversity the greater the chance of survival. This is due to the fact that larger gene pools results in a wider range of characteristics, and the wider the range of characteristics the greater the probability that a species will possess a characteristic that will aid its survival in an environment

performing photosynthesis, and faunae create diversity of our ecosystem. Altogether, they play a significant role in providing us a safe and sound place to live. Unfortunately, in recent years, many endangered species of plants and wildlife are gradually becoming extinct. Without these plants and wildlife, we global citizens will eventually perish. How can we help protect these precious flora and fauna? The solution to the problem lies in governments' measures of building greenhouse and imposing heavy fines

endemic species at risk. Also, in many areas there are poachers who put many species at risk of extinction as they can gain wealth by hunting them. In more built up areas, there is likely to be much lower biodiversity as concrete is built over where plants may have previously grown and areas with the highest biodiversity are relatively undisturbed. Due to an increasing population, many more areas are becoming built up by the process of urbanisation. This gives local species less opportunity to continue

bring many nutrients to them through the flow of the water as well as the decay of the leaves that contain some of the nutrients of the tree it once was a part of. They are also capable of living inside plants and animals. Also aiding in the decomposition and fertilization, fungi help decompose plant and animal materials (i.e. waste, flesh, etc.). My hypothesis: I hypothesize that fungi grow in dark areas with water sources and other miscellaneous animal traffic due to the independence from the

Chris Lemmon was the garden’s caretaker. It had been his job to mulch in the spring, trimming the trees and bushes so new buds could emerge and in the fall he collected the dead and withered leaves and branches that had been disregarded by various plants and trees. He loved the rhythm of the seasons that his job revolved around. His family had taken care of this place for 3 generations. The powerful McAlester family had once owned the property, but feeling intruded on by the various members of plebeian

Early farmers picked up some fruit of wild plants to home, eat them, and spited out the bigger seeds or defecated the tiny size seeds to human latrines. And then the seeds germinated in the early lab. But the key points were how the early farmers decided to pick up which fruit? It’s not hard to make some hypothesis: Fruit size: Strawberry, early farmers went into thorny thicket amid the mosquitoes on a hot, humid day to pick up strawberry; the only criterion is the size. The early farmer would
