Imagine you were going to model the flow of energy in an ecosystem and the flow of elements in the ecosystem using a diagram. Co
klemol [59]
Almost all the energy in ecosystems comes from the sun.<span>Energy is captured by producers and then passed in a linear progression from one trophic level to the next. At each level, much of the energy escapes the ecosystem as heat. Unlike this one-way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems. Elements pass from one organism to another and among parts of the non-living environment through closed loops called biogeochemical cycles.</span>

How can the random distribution of alleles result in a predictable ratio?
levacccp [35]
Phenotypically and genotypically there are only two different ratios. If you think of a Punett square... 

<span>You could say that a pea plant with the trait for the dominant color green (G) could also carry the recessive trait for yellow (g). So let's say you mate a dominant green, (Gg) with another dominant green, (Gg). You would get 1 (GG), 2 (Gg) and 2 (gg). </span>

<span>Phenotypically (as in physical traitwise), the ratio is 3:1 because you have 3 green colored peas and one yellow. </span>

<span>Genotypically (as in traitwise), the ratio is 1:2:1, because you have 1 (GG), 2 (Gg) and 1 (gg). </span>

<span>So although it's random, for any specific trait there are only 4 different outcomes.</span>
