Which statement is correct concerning the process of ecological succession? shrubs will replace pines during succession. primary succession starts after a forest fire. after a disturbance, the community goes through a somewhat predictable set of changes until reaching a final state. planting pines in an abandoned farm field mimics the natural progression of species during succession.

Option (2).

Explanation:

Ecological succession is the change in the ecological community of the species with respect to time. Two  types of the succession are  secondary succession and primary succession.

The ecological succession includes various transitional stages before reaching to the climax community. The simple species acquires first and then the climax species is reached at the end of the succession. Different changes are involved in the formation of climax community.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

the answer to your question is tooth decay.

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.
