Which is a weakness of traditional food webs when they are applied to complex ecological problems?

Biology

Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct option is A. <em>A food web does not represent all the links in an actual ecosystem.</em>

Explanation:

A food web can be described as a combination of different food chains. Although a food web reflects the energy flow of an area, it doesn't illustrate the actual links in an ecosystem. For example, it is not possible to know how much energy is being transferred in a food web. The role of abiotic factors in an ecological problem can also not be determined by a food web. A food web will also not give the information of the number of organisms present.

The existence of introns in mRNA-encoding genes seems to be a problem because so much cellular energy goes into splicing them ou
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

In normal conditions, introns serve following functions in the body of an organism:

1) They contain genes of miRNA which are known as Mirtrons, reverse transcriptase, endonucleases, transposase etc.

2) It is because of presence of introns that alternative splicing of mRNA is possible. The sex determination in drosophila is based on alternative splicing.

Apart from this, alternative splicing can be useful and beneficial in an unforeseen situation such as an environmental problem which is faced by the organism for the first time.

Explanation:

Alternative splicing is an important mechanism because with the help of alternative splicing different type of proteins can be synthesized from the same pre mRNA transcript. In case suddenly the surrounding environment of an organism is changed and the environmental conditions have become extremely harsh due to which organism's life is at stake, in such situation organism may make a different type of protein through alternative splicing which can help the organism in survival.  

Default splicing in Drosophila leads to the development of male off-spring while female off-spring is produced as a result of alternative splicing.

Speciation is the process by which new species are formed. Which of the following circumstances is most likely to lead to specia
trapecia [35]

Answer is A. A population becomes separated by environmental factors into two groups that do not reproduce with one another.

When a population of a species become geographically separated then gene flow between them stops. Over a period of time, the population may become genetically different in response to the natural selection due to different environments. Selection and genetic drift will act differently on these two separated populations. This will results into two separate species. This type of speciation is called allopatric speciation.
