The correct answer is option a. only 10 percent of the energy at each trophic level is passed on to the next level.
The producers obtain their energy from the sunlight and convert it into usable form of energy for consumers. The primary consumers eat the plants, and obtain energy from the plants. On each trophic level, only 10 % energy is transferred to the succeeding one.
As only 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level, the primary producers need to eat more plants in order to meet their energy requirement. This insufficiency of the energy transfer from one trophic level to another causes the decrease in the biomass on next level.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Reproduction is one of the essential characteristics of all living beings. However, if they reproduce to their full capability, the number of offspring would be higher than the available resource. Due to this reason there is always shortage of resources and hence competition arises among the species.
The fit species survive among all the competing species while the remaining weak species die. As Darwin also said that species have the ability to reproduce uncontrollably therefore, competition among the species for survival is a mode of population regulation
Hence, the given statement is true
Answer:
C) exact duplicates of each mother cell are produced.
Explanation:
<span>Some 120 prescription drugs sold worldwide today are derived directly from rainforest plants. And according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, more than two-thirds of all medicines found to have cancer-fighting properties come from rainforest plants. Examples abound. Ingredients obtained and synthesized from a now-extinct periwinkle plant found only in Madagascar (until deforestation wiped it out) have increased the chances of survival for children with leukemia from 20 percent to 80 percent.</span>
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Both A alleles and B alleles are dominant over the O alleles. This means that both parents must have an O allele present to even have a chance of having a child with type O blood. Lets say the mother has type O blood with the father having type AB blood. The possible combination would be: AO, BO, AO, BO. The punnett square should look like this:
A B
O AO BO
O AO BO
