Which of the following species would you most expect to be distributed according to a regular pattern?
a. termites
b. stingless bees
c. fish
d. creosote bushes

Creosote bushes species is distributed according to a regular pattern.

Further Explanation:

The regular pattern is defined as the uniform or non-random distribution of a species without any disturbance in the population. Regular or uniform pattern is seen in very less species because there is a frequent occurrence of genetic variation leading to non-uniform or random distribution of specie. For example, a small group of animals gives regular pattern but diverse or large group of animal gives random distribution leading to non- random pattern.

The Creosote bush plant mostly present in warm desserts (such as chihuahuan, Mojave and sonoran dessert). They are the most important and common plant in warm desserts. They have two very unique features that they can live without water for almost two years. Also, they produce same colonies which have the same genetic makeup. They have a very uniform or regular distribution of their species as compared to other animals. The uniform distribution or regular pattern provides equal distribution of nutrient, space and salts. The creosote bush even not moves randomly so it is very rare to see random distribution in this plant.

endo has to do with hormones; aldosterone and vasopressin are both hormones. i also had this question and got it right : d

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
