Answer: D) The lizard and the snake are secondary consumers.
Explanation:
Producers are organisms that, simply put, produce their own food. All photosynthesizing plants are considered to be producers. Animals cannot be producers.
Primary consumers eat producers.
Secondary consumers eat primary consumers.
Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers, and so on.
The lizard eats a fly, which is a primary consumer. This makes the lizard a secondary consumer.
The snake eats a mouse, which is a primary consumer. This makes the snake a secondary consumer.
A) is incorrect because the hawk is a tertiary consumer.
B) is incorrect because grass is a producer, not a consumer
C) is incorrect because the lizard is a secondary consumer
Answer:
b. 10% of the plant's energy.
Explanation:
In an ecosystem, there are various trophic levels, which form the part of the food chain. Producer like plants forms the first trophic level as they synthesize their own food via photosynthesis.

Because of its ability to form large complex and diverse molecules
Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)
b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over
c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1
Explanation:
The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.
C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.
