A biomass pyramid shows the total mass of the organisms that each trophic level occupies in an ecosystem. Usually, producers have a higher biomass than any other trophic level, but there can be lower amounts of biomass at the bottom of the pyramid if the rate of primary production per unit biomass is very fast.
Answer:
hybridization is categorized as crossing organisms that have different traits to bring together the best of each. However, this can come with some post-zygotic barriers.
Reduced hybrid viability: hybrid offspring does not survive
Reduced hybrid fertility: hybrid offspring cannot reproduce
hybrid breakdown: first generation of hybrids are viable and fertile, however, their offspring (generation 3) are sterile.
Answer:
The correct answer is option B, that is, promoter, operator, gene.
Explanation:
In a prokaryote, just in front of the operator, the promoter is located, and just in front of the structural genes, the operator is located. All these in combination give rise to an operon.
Any gene, which codes for an enzyme or a structural protein is termed as a structural gene, in the lac operon, a structural gene codes for three distinct kinds of enzymes. A short sequence of DNA is situated just in front of the structural gene, which is known as the operator. An operator functions as a switch for transcription, that is, it monitors whether the process of transcription will take place or not.
Just in front of an operator, a sequence of a promoter is present, and for the transcription and translation of all the structural genes, the RNA polymerase needs to combine first with the promoter. In case, if no transcription is to take place, then the operator allows the repressor to bind with it and prevent the attachment of RNA polymerase with the promoter. Hence, the correct sequence of a prokaryotic operon is a promoter, operator, and gene.
Answer:
The pierce ears on a person will not be passed on to there children however children often look like their parents why might this be so?
Piercing of ears is not an inheritable character rather it is an environmental character that is influenced by the environment rather not controlled by the gene
Explanation:
Answer:
3. B. no new mating partners are available
7. D. best adaptations
8. C. survive and reproduce
Explanation:
Carrying capacity refers to the maximum population size of a species/population in a particular habitat. The carrying capacity depends on abiotic (e.g., shelter, water) and biotic factors (e.g., food, presence of mates). According to the evolutionary theory, individuals better adapted to their environments are more likely to survive and reproduce (i.e., produce more offspring) than other members of the same species. These 'better adapted' individuals will have more chances to pass their 'beneficial alleles' to the next generation.
