16-7= 9 you subtract the atomic number from the mass and get the number of neutrons so there ae 7 protons and 9 neutrons
If the producers were removed then there would be no beginning to the food chain and the complete ecosystem would die off. If the detrivores and decomposers were removed there would be no organic nutrients and all the dead plants would ruin the animals habitat.The ecosystem will be fill by plants and animal wastes as <span>there will be no decomposition of waste material.</span>
<u>Answer:</u>
Recent evidence suggest that feathers evolved from scales and suggest that 'feathers and pycnofibers' could be homologous.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- One of the major difficult issue related to bird evolution is the evolution of feathers.
- Feathers are considered as the most 'complex integumentary structures' which are found in vertebrates.
- Evolutionary developmental biology suggests that the 'planar scale structure' is been modified for developing into feathers by 'splitting' to form web like structures.
- Scales and Feathers consist of 'two distinct form of keratin' so it was thought that 'each type was exclusive skin structure' but recent study suggests that they are developmental expressions of same skin structures.
