does the population size increase or decrease at higher trophic levels in the pyramid of numbers for all of your ecosystems?

1 answer:

4 0

The population size should decrease at higher trophic levels. The reason is there isn't enough prey to feed the predators as the trophic levels increase. For example, the biggest impact in the ocean would be if you lost all the small fish in an ocean because the predators would be left with less food. It's not exactly correlating, but if you think a little about the statistics it makes sense.

Why does the amount of heat received by places far from the equator become less?

Ainat [17]

If the Earth were a disk with its surface perpendicular to the rays of sunlight, each point on it would receive the same amount of radiation. However, the Earth is a sphere and aside from the part closest to the sun, where the rays of sunlight are perpendicular to the ground, its surface tilts with respect to the incoming rays of energy with the regions furthest away. Hope this answers the question.

Gray seed color in peas is dominant to white. Assume that Mendel conducted a series of experiments where plants with gray seeds

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

(a) Gg × Gg; (b) genotypic = 1:2:1, phenotypic = 3:1

Explanation:

a) A cross between two gray seeded plants produces progeny with gray and white seeds in 3:1 ratio (302:98=3:1). This means that the parent plants are heterozygous and each has at least one recessive allele. If the allele "G" is responsible for gray seed and the allele "g" imparts white color to the seeds, the genotype of the heterozygous parents would be "Gg".

b) A cross between two heterozygous gray seeded parents would produce progeny in following ratio:

Genotype ratio= 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg

Phenotype ratio= 3 Gray: 1 white
