Answer: C. Producer populations will decrease, causing a decrease in consumer populations.

Explanation:

According to the situation, the volcanic ash will mask the light energy from sun. The sunlight is the main requirement for the producers to synthesize their own food by the process of photosynthesis. The population of plants and other autotrophs will be affected by this. The other organisms in the ecosystem will be affected as decline in the population of producers will result in decline in the population of consumers due to lack of food.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Producers require solar energy to start photosynthesis to create the glucose they need, so lower solar energy means less photosynthesis.

Burka [1]

Answer:

Option B) study information related to the Cenozoic era

Explanation:

The complete question is

Scientists discovered that the Eocene time period existed in Earths history around 34 MYA. What do they need to do to determine what time period Eocene belongs to on the geologic time scale?

A) learn what happened during Precambrian time

B) study information related to the Cenozoic era

C) view the timing of events in the Mesozoic era

D) research events that happened during the Paleozoic era

Solution -

The period of Eocene belong to the Cenozoic era. The Cenozoic era is divided into three periods-  

a) The Paleogene – Existed between 65.5 to 23.03 million years ago

b) The Neogene - Existed between 23.03 to 2.6 million years ago

c) The Quaternary – Started some 2.6 million years ago and is continuing till present

The Paleogene is subdivided into three epochs –  

A) The Paleocene – existed between 65.5 to 55.8 million years ago

B) The Eocene – existed between 55.8 to 33.9 million years ago and  

C) The Oligocene – existed between 33.9 to 23.03 million years ago

Hence, studying about Cenozoic era will give information about the Eocene epoch

Use the Punnett square to predict the genotype for the parent organism whose genotype is unknown and
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: The genotype for the parent organism whose genotype is unknown is Ff.

Explanation: Let (F) represent the allele for purple which is dominant over (f) and (f) represent the allele for white.

The parent organism whose genotype is unknown is heterozygous for purple colour (Ff).

A cross between Ff and ff will produce four offsprings: two of which are Ff (heterozygous for purple colour) and two are ff (white).

Ff x ff = Ff, Ff, ff and ff.

Since (F) is dominant over (f), (Ff) will manifest as purple while (ff) will manifest as white. Therefore, half of the offsprings are purple while the other half are white.

See the attached punnet square for more information
