This is an example that they 2 fruit flies are A. Homozygous. In terms of its genotype, these fruit flies posses the same alleles for the gene responsible for colour or pigment production in the flies' eyes.
The answer is A, they are connected to all levels.
Decomposers in a food web, such as bacteria or fungi, mainly get their nutrient by decomposing dead organic matter to release carbon dioxide (when they respire)to the air for producers (which are mainly plants).
The following basic food chain (which forms food web when many of these are connected) may help you understand better:
Producer→primary consumer→secondary consumer→tertiary consumer
Since all levels in a food web is formed from organic matter (including plants and animals), decomposers feed on them to get their nutrient, so they're actually connect to all levels.
B is not correct because secondary consumers are the carnivores, which are animals that consume other animals for food and nutrient.
C is not correct because primary consumers are herbivores, which are animals that consume plants (or producers) for food.
D is not correct because autotrophs are organisms that make their own food by themselves, which are usually by photosynthesis (the process to make glucose from light energy). They're usually green plants, and the "producers" from a food web.
Answer: OSMOSIS
Explanation:
OSMOSIS is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. It's very useful in biological systems and is dependent on the following factors:
- osmotic pressure and
- osmotic gradient.
Osmotic pressure: this is defined as the least pressure that needs to be applied in a solution to discontinue the transfer of solvent across a semipermeable membrane.
Osmotic gradient: this compares the concentration of solutions divided by a semipermeable membrane. The concentration of a specific particle dissolved in a solution is known through osmotic gradient.
Myosin and actin protein filaments attach to each other . Calcium ions release into myofibrilles . Myosin filaments pull on the actin filaments
Prevent loss of Genetic Diversity and Inbreeding
The knowledge of parentage provides one with information about the origin and identity of the parents.
The variations and changes in the genes of the progeny of the parents can also be understood by the knowledge of the parentage.
Population of wild endangered species can benefit from the knowledge of parentage as this can help in prioritizing original gene material, avoid inbreeding incidents , important tool to manage cross between species hence aiding in the prevention of genetic diversity and loss of population.
In zoos, inbreeding is very common due to small populations which can lead to an increase in homozygous populations instead of heterozygous ones. Decrease in heterozygous populations implies decrease in genetic variability.
∴ Knowledge of parentage in zoos can help with that.
