Which of the following best explains why clear-cutting forests is more destructive than selectively cutting down trees in forests? a. clear-cutting eliminates all trees leaving none behind to maintain soil fertility or house native animals. b. clear-cutting places the land at greater risk for wildfires. c. clear-cutting makes land more attractive for human development. d. clear-cutting causes less soil erosion than selective cutting.

a. Clear-cutting eliminates all trees leaving none behind to maintain soil fertility or house native animals

Explanation:

The clear-cutting is a process that is very dangerous and harmful for the environment, but also for the humans on the long term. Through this process, the vegetation is totally removed, all trees and shrubs are eliminated. This leaves the soil barren and vulnerable, as it doesn't have a protection from the erosion, thus it is eroded very quickly. Also, the soil losses the plants that have been keeping its fertility at a certain level, so it become infertile very quickly. There's no trees left so that the area can recover, and it will take a very long period that the nature can recover at those places. The animals lose their habitats, so they die out, and the ones that are endangered may even go extinct.

the answer is: reproductively

i think i spelled it wrong lol

anyways hope i

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
