Question : Various stages of succession are given bellow. From that rearrange them accordingly. Find out the type of succession and explain in detail. Reed-swamp stage, phytoplankton stage, shrub stage, submerged plant stage, forest stage, submerged free floating stage and marsh medow stage.

Answer»

Solution :1. PHYTOPLANKTON stage - It is the first stage of succession consisting of the pioneer community like blue green ALGAE, green algae, diatoms, bacteria, etc., The colonization of these organisms enrich the amount of organic matter and nutrients of pond due to their life activities and death. This favors the development of the next seral stages.
2. Submerged plant stage - As the result of death and decomposition of planktons, SILT brought from land by rain water, lead to a loose mud formation at the bottom of the pond. Hence, the rooted submerged hydrophytes begin to appear on the new substratum. Example: Vallisneria and Hydrilla etc. The death and decay of these plants will build up the substratum of pond to become shallow.
3. Submerged free floating stage - During this stage, the depth of the pond will become almost 2-5 feet. Hence, the rooted hydrophytic plants and with floating large leaves start colonising the pond. Example: Rooted floating plants like Nelumbo, Nymphaea and some free floating species like Azolla, and Pistia are also present in this stage. By death and decomposition of these plants, further the pond becomes more shallow.
4. Reed-swamp stage - It is also called an amphibious stage. During this stage, rooted floating plants are replaced by plants which can live successfully in aquatic as well as aerial environment. Example: Typha, Phragmites, Sagittaria and Scirpus etc. At the end of this stage, water level is very MUCH reduced, making it unsuitable for the continuous growth of amphibious plants.
5. Marsh meadow stage - When the pond becomes swallowed due to decreasing water level, species of Cyperaceae and Poaceae colonise the area. They form a mat-like vegetation with the help of their much branched root system. This leads to an absorption and loss of large quantity of water. At the end of this stage, the soil becomes dry and the marshy vegetation disappears gradually and leads to shurb stage.
6. Shrub stage - Here areas are invaded by terrestrial plants like shrubs (Salix and Cornus) and trees (Populus and Alnus). These plants absorb large quantity of water and make the habitat dry. Further, the accumulation of humus with a rich flora of microorganisms produce minerals in the soil, ultimately favouring the arrival of new tree species in the area.
7. Forest stage - It is the climax community of HYDROSERE. A variety of trees invade the area and develop any one of the diverse type of vegetation Example: Temperate mixed forest (Ulmus, Acer and Quercus), Tropical rain forest (Artocarpus and Cinnamomum ) and Tropical deciduous forest (Bamboo and Tectona).

Question : Give scientific reasons.Variations are expected in sexually reproducing organisms.

Answer»

Solution :Sexual reproduction involves formation of gametes in the gonads, meiosis and FUSION of gametes. These PROCESSES produces variations due to new COMBINATIONS of genes due to crossing over, change segragation of chromosome and chance fusion of gametes. Daughter offsprings are genetically different from the PARENTS. Sexual reproduction thus, is a source of variation in the POPULATION.
