If a nonnative species is introduced into an ecosystem . how might the biodiversity or health of the ecosystem change? why

1 answer:

8 0

It would be negatively impacted because a foreign species would start to take over a native species’ role in the ecosystem and may also directly (if it’s a predator) or indirectly lead to the decline of other species. So as some species may start to decline and eventually become extinct in that particular ecosystem, the biodiversity level would lessen cuz there’s less types of plants and animals. Less plants and animals could lead to the ecosystem to eventually collapse and it would be literally a mass extinction.

Relative to the transcription start site, where would the promoter and terminator be located?

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Promoter is located upstream and terminator is located downstream relative to the transcription start site.

Explanation:

Transcription start site is the site from where the transcription starts which is denoted by +1. The sequence of nucleotides which is present backword to them called upstream sequence and nucleotide sequence which is present in the forward direction of transcription start site are called downstream sequence.

Promoter sequences are present upstream to the transcription start site and are denoted with a minus sign and terminator sequence is present downstream to the transcription start site.
