Well, the food is in the environment. I would like to compare it with how bacteriae feed (however my biology is quite rusty), that is, they engulf their food and they "digest" -- not the proper term, since there are no organs to do real digestion -- it.
Biodiversity is essential in medicine as most active chemicals used to make medicines are derived from plants or other organisms. Climate change today threatens species that are vital to medicine. An example would be coral reefs. Studies have been done on reefs that look at fighting cancers, HIV and other ailments. One of the richest zones of biodiversity is the tropics and this region is under threat from global warming and deforestation. It is important to preserve these species for use in future medicinal research. <span />
Codominance.
Codominance occurs when, for example, a Dominant Blue color gene for a leaf crosses with a Dominant White color gene for a leaf. The genotype would be BW. This would result in, for example, a blue and white spotted leaf color. INCOMPLETE dominance occurs when both dominant alleles blend together, resulting in, eg, a pale blue color resulting from the blue and white colors mixing.
The sequence would read CCG ATA AG
The mRna would read GGC UAU UC
