Answer: A. Organisms that help clean Earth's soil, water, and air may be lost.

Explanation:

Biodiversity can be define as the variety of living beings surviving in a natural environment. It is the measurement of variations of organisms at the genetic, species and ecosystem level.

If the biodiversity of the organisms which help in cleaning earth's soil, water and air may be lost then the human health will be adversly affected. As the contamination of these important abiotic factor will decline influence the health. Air pollution will result in respiratory and circulatory diseases. Water contamination will result in water borne disease like cholera, diarrhea. Soil contamination will cause inappropriate and infected growth of the plants. The crops fro such plants will cause food poisoning.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

  1. E/e ; T/t  ⇒ Square eyes and long tail (Option D)
  2. 3/16 will have round eyes and long tails (Option C)
  3. 1/4 of the progeny will be heterozygous for both traits (Option A)

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Two diallelic unlinked genes
  • Gene E controls eye shape: Dominant allele E expresses square eyes, and recessive allele e expresses round eyes.
  • Gene T controls the tail size. Dominant allele T expresses long trail, and recessive allele t expresses short tail.

<u>Genotypes                                          Phenotypes</u>

EETT, EeTT, EETt, EeTt                     Square eyes and Long tail

eeTT, eeTt                                          Round eyes and Long tail

EEtt, Eett                                             Square eyes and Short tail

eett                                                      Rounf eyes and short tail.

<em>1. An individual of this new species is heterozygous for gene E and heterozygous for gene T. What is their genotype and phenotype?</em>

The heterozygous individual is E/e ; T/t, expressing square eyes and a long tail.

<em>2. Two individuals, who are both heterozygous for eye shape and tail size, mate. Which of the following is a correct statement about the phenotype ratios expected for their offspring?</em>

Cross: between two heterozygous individuals

Parentals) EeTt    x     EeTt

Gametes) ET, Et, eT, et

                ET, Et, eT, et

Punnett square)  .   ET        Et        eT       et

                  ET     EETT    EETt    EeTT    EeTt

                  Et      EETt     EEtt     EeTt      Eett

                  eT    EeTT    EeTt    eeTT     eeTt

                   et     EeTt      Eett     eeTt      eett

F1) Genotype:

  • 1/16 EETT
  • 2/16 EETt
  • 1/16 EEtt
  • 2/16 EeTT
  • 4/16 EeTt ⇒ 1/4 EeTt
  • 2/16 Eett
  • 1/16 eeTT
  • 2/16 eeTt
  • 1/16 eett

      Phenotype

  • 9/16 E-T-, Square eyes and Long tails
  • 3/16 E-tt, Square eyes and short tails
  • 3/16 eeT-, Round eyes and Long tails
  • 1/16 eett, round eyes and short tail

Phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1

<em>3. From the mating described in question ABOVE, what proportion of ALL of the offspring in will be heterozygous for both traits?</em>

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny are expected to be heterozygous for both traits, EeTt.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - decreased population size at all levels.

Explanation:

A decrease in the productivity of producers of an ecosystem will lead to a decrease in all other organisms of the ecosystem including top-level consumers to the bottom-level producers due to the fact that producers provide energy and food to primary consumers.

It is because they are the only organisms that convert the sunlight to usable energy and food that transfer from one trophic level to other, so if the population of producers or their productivity will decrease then there will be decreased population size at all levels.
