Which of the following is a good predictor of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems?

Biology
1 answer:
finlep [7]3 years ago
4 0

The correct answer is - predator species in a community.

In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.

The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.

If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.

What is the definition of epistasis?
ollegr [7]

The definition of Epistasis in gene biology is Choice D: when the allele of one gene masks the phenotype of another gene

Definition:

When the phenotypic effect of alleles at one gene are masked by alleles of another gene.

In essence, a gene is said to be epistatic when its presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus.

It is important to know that Epistatic genes are often called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as hypostatic.

Additionally, there are six common types of epistasis gene interactions:

  • Dominant

  • Dominant inhibitory,

  • Duplicate dominant,

  • Duplicate recessive,

  • Polymeric gene interaction,

  • Recessive.

Which molecule from glycolysis or the citric acid pathway serves as the building block for lipid synthesis?
Mariana [72]

Answer: Acetyl-CoA

Explanation:

Acetyl-CoA can be obtained from the pyruvate, the end product of aerobic glycolysis. Also, Acetyl-CoA is the one of the starting materials of citric acid cycle.

For lipid synthesis, biotin carries activated CO2 that is incorporated into acetyl-CoA to form Malonyl-CoA, which is then elongated to yield various lipids of different length.

Thus, Acetyl-CoA is the building block of lipid synthesis
