A marine ecosystem off the California coast consists of leatherback turtles that feed on jellyfish, and killer whales that prey

on the leatherback turtles. Habitat loss and fishing have been identified as the main reasons for the reduced numbers of leatherback turtles, who are on the verge of being declared an endangered species. What would be the first effect on the ecosystem if habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked?

The population of jellyfish would increase and the population of killer whales would decrease

Answer:

If habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked then the leatherback turtles would become extinct soon.

The extinction of a species would affect the entire food chain, that is, it would affect the organism present at a lower trophic level as well as the organisms present at the higher trophic level.

Similarly, the extinction of leatherback turtle affects both jellyfish as well as killer whales.  

The population of jellyfish would increase in absence of their predator.

In contrast, the population of killer whales would decrease due to absence or decrease in their prey or food.

A recombinant plasmid created during a recombinant DNA experiment:

Answer:

B.carries and allows expression of a foreign gene of interest.

Explanation:

Plasmids are the low molecular weight extrachromosomal DNA molecules that are able to replicate themselves independent of chromosomal DNA due to the presence of "ori" (origin of replication).

Plasmids serve as vectors in recombinant DNA technology as some of their genes can be replaced with the gene of interest to create recombinant plasmids.

The restriction enzymes that create the sticky ends and DNA ligases facilitate the insertion of the foreign gene into the plasmids.

The host cells are made competent to take up the recombinant plasmids. Once inside the host cell, the recombinant plasmids replicate themselves and express the gene of interest that they carry.

The first question is horses having long legs so they can run away from predators

The second question is Animals are less likely to eat this plant.

The third question is White skin is a favorable adaptation because it makes the lizards hard to see against the white sand.

The fourth question is Organisms produce fewer offspring if the environment does not have enough resources.

The fifth question is People kill rattlesnakes that rattle when approached by humans, but people do not kill rattlesnakes that remain silent. The quiet snakes survive and breed.

The sixth question is With the smallest population size

bagirrra123 [75]
All of the above points are valid for fossils' contributions in understanding the process of evolution. They allow us to study the ancestry, we can see the homologous organs or structures, if fossils are well-preserved; different fossils can lead us to follow the cycles of the changes that occurred during macroevolutions, and fossils can be used to study different populations which had different body structures for surviving in different environmental conditions.
