Answer: Poaching is the main reasons behind elephant population decline

Explanation:

Although there are many factors that has brought about a reduction in African elephant population, such as loss of habitat and conflict with humans. But the main reason behind their population decline is poaching for ivory tusks, as confirmed by the researchers of the Great Elephant Census. The increase in demand for ivory in the Asian markets is the main reason. Ten and thousands of elephants are killed every year for their ivory tusks. The ivory is carved into ornaments and jewellery and sold in the market.

Compare and contrast the structure & functions of mitochondria & chloroplast
Nesterboy [21]

Utilizing oxygen and nutrition, the mitochondria produce ATP, which serves as the cell's energy source. In a plant cell, photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast.

Plant cells contain both the chloroplast and the mitochondrion, but animal cells only have the mitochondria. The purpose of mitochondria and chloroplasts is to produce energy for the cells in which they are found. Both types of organelles have an energy generation, or how inner and outer membrane as part of their structure. they change cellular energy into a certain form before the cell uses it, which is the fundamental commonality between mitochondria and chloroplast. 2. Chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA and RNA are nearly identical. Each DNA molecule is round.

If two parents do not have widow's peaks, what is the probability that their child will have a widow's peak?
serious [3.7K]

Their child can not have a widow's peak, seeing as widow's peak is a dominant trait. They need two recessive alleles to have a straight hairline, meaning none can be inherited by the child.

Hope this helps.
