Pioneer species are species which colonize previously uncolonized land, usually leading to ecological succession. They are the first organisms to start the chain of events leading to a livable biosphere or ecosystem. Why is a lichen most likely to be a pioneer species? A The mutualistic relationship of species forming a lichen allows it to survive independently.

B The lichen is fast growing and provides a nutritious food source for many other species.

C The lichen does not require sunlight to survive.

D The lichen is a decomposer that digests rocks and forms soil.​

One function of the poly-a tail on eukaryotic mrna sequences is to the mrna be transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. prokaryotic mrna also has a poly-a tail. choose the best explanation of the prokaryotic poly-a tail. a. prokaryotic poly-a tails are composed of a different molecular structure compared with eukaryotic poly-a tails. b. prokaryotic poly-a tails have the same functions as eukaryotic poly-a tails, because this process is highly conserved throughout different species. c. prokaryotic poly-a tails aren't important, because prokaryotes don't have nuclei. d. prokaryotic poly-a tails have other functions,because prokaryotes don't have nuclei.
