Orcas, or killer whales, are natural predators of sea otters. It has been observed that in regions where the sea otters are not

present, sea urchins grow rapidly and destroy much of the natural kelp vegetation. Which of these statements is correct in this context? A) Kelp is the keystone species because their survival is key to the survival of the entire ecosystem. B) Sea otters cannot be considered the keystone species because they are not the top predators in the ecosystem. C) Sea urchins are the keystone species because they multiply rapidly in the absence of their natural predators. Eliminate D) Sea otters are a keystone species as they prevent a herbivorous species from completely destroying a plant species.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Keystone species is the sea otter. Sea otters, playing a critical role in containing the urchin populations, prey on urchins and thus control the numbers of kelp grazers to maintain the forest.

Remember, keystone species is most often a top level predator in an ecosystem.

16 - Albinism: Prom Genotype to Phenotype
Mrac [35]

A correct flow chart is DNA i.e., gene (transcription) >> mRNA + tRNAs (translation) >> amino acids or protein >> phenotype.  It is the flow of the genetic information.

<h3>What is the flow of genetic information?</h3>

The flow of genetic information refers to the molecular process from DNA to the final phenotype (i.e., protein product).

During gene transcription, a particular fragment of DNA called gene is used as a template to generate an mRNA.

Subsequently, the mRNA serves as a template to generate a linear chain of amino acids, i.e., a protein, by a process called translation.

The final protein can be considered as the phenotype (in this case, the albinism trait) because it is the observable feature.
