Answer:

True

Explanation:

Producers are very important for an ecosystem as they trap the solar energy received from sun through the process of photosynthesis in order to produce food for consumers. This food when consumed by other organisms leads to flow of energy from one organism to other which lie at different trophic levels of a food chain.

Producers lie at the base of an energy pyramid and thus are the initiators of the food chains.

If there would have been no producers, there would have been no food cycle/chains and thus no flow of energy and and hence no stable ecosystem.

Being extremely important for the ecosystem , producers are living being such as trees, plants, algae etc. and thus they are the most important biotic factor in an ecosystem

Answer:

Because females have two x but males have x and y so deleting x would only leave it with x without a y

Given a sequencing reaction length of approximately 500 successive nucleotides, what is the absolute minimum number of sequencin

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

6.4 million

Explanation:

The human genome contains 3.2 billion bases (nucleotides).

Each reaction can sequence a read length of 500 nucleotides. We are excluding overlaps, and redundant sequences (which in reality would always happen when performing sequencing). Therefore, the minimum number of sequencing reactions is the total number of nucleotides in the genome divided by the length of read 3.2 billion ÷ 500 = <u>6.4 million</u>

includes all descendants from a single common ancestor. does not share any common ancestry but represents convergent evolution.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Phylogenetic relationships

1. includes all descendants from a single common ancestor >>> monophyletic group

2. does not share any common ancestry but represents convergent evolution >>> polyphyletic group

3. includes some but not all descendants from a single common ancestor >>> paraphyletic group

Explanation:

A monophyletic taxon is a collection of organisms that have the same most recent common ancestor, thereby including an ancestor and all its descendants. Examples of monophyletic groups are angiosperms, mammals, insects, etc. A paraphyletic group is composed of some (but not all) the descendants of the most recent common ancestor. An example of a paraphyletic group includes fish and lizards. Finally, a polyphyletic taxon is composed of a group of organisms that do not contain the common ancestor of all the members of the group. An example of a polyphyletic group is composed of birds and mammals, (which constitutes a group of warm-blooded animals).
