6 0

Of the following given choices;

A. growth

B. production of egg and sperm cells

C. reproduction of bacteria and unicellular protists

D. repair of damaged tissues\

The answer is; B

The genome of the pre-gamete cell in the gonads is halved by meiosis in the formation of gametes. Each pre-gamete cell produces 4 gametes. The reasons sperms and egg have half the genetic material is because they will need to fuse (during fertilization) with the other gamete from the other parent to form a zygote with the full genetic makeup.

Population of top level consumers in a particular ecosystem were rapidly decreasing. Further studies revealed that there was als
Lana71 [14]

Answer

Since the whole ecosystem depends on the primary producers for survival, definitely all the sizes of the population in the ecosystem will be affected. The producers(green plants ) makes use of sunlight to supply  the needed energy as food substances for the consumers ( rabbit) to feed on, and the  Consumers is eaten by the top level consumers e.g Leopard.

Therefore, if the population of  top level consumers is decreasing, this indicated that the secondary consumers population is reducing,  due to reduction in energy obtained from primary producers which has dropped due to  the decline in productivity.Hence nothing fort the top consumers to feed on.
