The salmon is a key player in the food web whose removal may cause an imbalance in the whole ecosystem.

A food web is a graphical diagram representing all connections between organisms in a given ecosystem.

Salmon represent the food for different types of animals in a food web, thereby their removal may cause serious harm to the balance of the ecosystem.

Salmon fish is a tertiary consumer because they eat herring which in turn eat zooplankton that eats phytoplankton.

Eukaryotic chromosomes contain two general domains that relate to the degree of chromatin condensation. These two regions are _

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are: A) Heterochromatin and euchromatin

B) Uniform in the genetic information they contain

C) Separated by large sketches of repetitive DNA

D) Each void of typical protein-coding sequences of DNA

E) Void of introns.

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

The chromatin or substance that makes up the nuclei of cells and that results from the interaction of DNA with histonic and non-histonic proteins and RNA; it can present different degrees of packing or contraction. When chromosomes are stained with chemicals that bind to DNA, densely stained regions and less densely stained regions appear. Heterochromatin are segments of the chromosome that stain strongly and remain visible, practically, during the entire cell cycle. There are few genes in these regions and therefore low transcriptional activity. They are supercondensed regions. Euchromatin are segments of the chromosome that are not visible during telophase and interphase, only in metaphase. It corresponds to regions that are less compact and in which there is a higher gene density.
