Answer:
a, b, d, and f.
Explanation:
<em>The periwinkle snails feed on plants. Consequently, they are said to herbivorous and heterotrophic since they cannot manufacture their own foods. They are also referred to as primary consumers because they directly feed on plants without any other nutritional option. They, therefore, occupy the second trophic level on a typical food web. </em>
The correct options are a, b, d, and f.
The statement above is FALSE.
When a particular specie in an ecosystem is endangered, other species that interact with it will be negatively affected and the ecosystem may be throw out of balance. This is because all the components of the ecosystem depend on one another for survival.
Answer:
2 out of 4
Explanation:
Let the allele for cleft chin be represented by A, while the alternate recessive version would be a.
A parent that is heterozygous for cleft chin would have the genotype Aa.
A parent without cleft chin would have the genotype aa.
Aa x aa
Aa Aa aa aa
Aa - cleft chinned = 2/4
aa - normal chin = 2/4
Thus, two out of every four (2/4) of their offspring would have cleft chin.
Answer:
Substitution
Explanation:
Mutations can simply be defined as change in the structure of a gene. Mutation can be of different types. These include, but not limited to:
- Insertion: This involves the insertion of extra base pairs into a DNA
- Deletion: Loss of DNA section
- Substitution: When a nucleotide base gets substituted with another base.
<em>Substitution of a base can lead to coding of different amino acid and hence, protein. It can also lead to coding of the same amino acid, otherwise known as silent mutation. Base substitution can also lead to the amino-acid-coding codon becoming a stop codon, leading to an incomplete protein.</em>
The correct answer is substitution.
