Bacteria and algae convert solar energy into organic energy. Consumers ingest live plants and prey. Decomposers, such as mold and mushrooms, break down and use energy from organisms. Fungi, like mushrooms, absorb nutrients from the organisms by secreting enzymes to break up the chemical compounds that make up dead plants and animals.

Energy transfers, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics is applicable in this circumstance greatly.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance occurs when a genetic trait is regulated by more than one genes. All the alleles of these genes together determine the phenotype of the organism for the polygenic trait. Here, the phenotype is regulated by the total number of dominant alleles for all the genes that regulate a polygene trait.

For example, human skin color is a polygenic trait. The final phenotype depends on the total number of dominant alleles of all the genes that regulate the skin color in human.
