Amutation occurs in the genes that code for coat color in deer. which change will most likely result from this mutation?
a. a change in the selection pressures acting on coat color
b. a change in the coat-color genes of deer predator species
c. an increase in coat-color diversity in the population
d. an increase in the number of genes for coat color in the population

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.
