Answer: b. The number of bison will decrease.

Explanation:

A food chain can be define as a linear sequence of transfer of food and energy when one organism consumes the other. In the given situation the bison population is mainly dependent on grass for their food requirements. But with the loss of a portion of grass by a wildfire the food chain of the prairie ecosystem will be negatively affected. This will likely to limit the population of bison as they will experience the scarcity of food.

muminat

Answer:

The female will not inherit a sex linked disorder if her father suffers rather "have chances or the disorder if the mother is the carrier" for the disorder.

Explanation:

A female has 2 X chromosome, which she got from her parents each. The females will get the disorder or the defective gene if the mother has defective X chromosome or if the father is carrying the same disorder from his father(grandfather). In both the cases the female will be the carrier and have chances to inherit the defect to the offspring. But the female will  not affect as the  male will. As the female has 2 X chromosomes, and hence the dominant X will compensate for the error in recessive X.

Why are lethal dominant alleles so much more rare than lethal recessive alleles?
juin [17]

Lethal alleles cause the death of an organism prenatal or after the birth. Lethal alleles are usually a consequence of a mutation and they can be recessive, dominant or conditional. Since the lethal dominant alleles are harmful whether they are carried in homozygous (e.g.AA) or heterozygous (e.g.Aa) form,  a strong selection against them is present and thus these alleles are much more rare.
