Afarmer planted legumes and cabbage in the same field that is devoid of fertilizers. the yield from this field is better than the cabbage planted in another field without legumes. why? nitrogen–fixing bacteria present in the roots of legumes aid in the enrichment of nitrogen in the soil. nitrogen–fixing bacteria present in the roots of legumes inhibit the growth of weeds or unwanted plants. nitrogen–fixing bacteria present in the roots of legumes prevent bacterial growth that cause root diseases

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.

Why does meiosis produce cells with half the chromosomes? o a. most of the chromosomes are not necessary to keep an organism alive. b. a gamete needs only half the number of chromosomes because two gametes join together. o c. it makes the gametes easier to move around in the organism. o d. it is faster to produce gametes with fewer chromosomes.

What molecules will be best used to compare different species with the exact same sequence of amino acids? why would two species have the same protein even if the molecules in question is different? (hint: transcription to translation to protein).
