This energy most directly results from the life activity of respiration.
The hummingbirds have very high energy expenditure (have the highest oxygen requirements of all vertebrae) with a fast heart rate, very fast wing beats and sustained hovering. So the hummingbird is nearly always on the edge of starvation, needing to take in more nectar than its body weight each day.
The respiratory system of these birds is highly adapted for the high oxygen needs. So, the muscles of the hummingbird cause pressure changes within the air sacs. As a result, more oxygen can enter the respiratory system. Also, they have the highest density of red blood cells which allows them to rise heart beat to around 500 breaths per minute during flight.
Answer:
100%
Explanation:
No matter how many factors are in the cross, if an 2 purebred (homozygous individuals) are crossed, (one dominant, one recessive) the dominant phenotype will always be displayed.
Imagine a cross with between two individuals true breeding for 6 traits. One shows all dominant genotypes, one shows all recessive genotypes. The only gametes those individuals can pass on will always produce heterozygotes.
AABBCCDDEEFFGG x aabbccddeeffgg
The first individual can only give ABCDEFG alleles. The second individual can only give abcdefg alleles. Therefore, all offspring will be AaBbCcDdEeFfGg, and will therefore express the dominant trait.
Answer:
there is a greater variety of genes and species in that ecosystem
