Robert Paine studied sea stars in the intertidal zone along the northern Pacific coast. When he removed sea stars from a study a

rea, their prey, two mussel species, increased exponentially. This crowded out other species, and the overall biodiversity of the community was greatly reduced. What role in the community did the sea star play?

<h2>Sea star  </h2>

Explanation:

In the given example sea star played the role of keystone species

  • Robert Paine actually coined the term keystone species to describe the effect that the sea stars had on biodiversity in this community
  • Keystone species are those species which are least abundant but play a governing role to decide the structure and function of community
  • Loss of keystone species in a community can lead to disturbance in structure and function of a community and it cannot be recovered by other species

Hey again,

The answer you are looking for is B).

Nucleotide's are composed of three units: base, sugar (monosaccharide) and phosphate. Bases are found in both DNA and RNA. As seen below, they are adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil.

Hope this helps!!!!!!

In this mechanism enzyme dicer cuts DSRNA into smaller fragments called SIRNA which form a complex with RISC in degrees specific
scZoUnD [109]
I believe the correct answer is mRNA.  Dicer is a part of RNase III which leaves double stranded RNA and pre-microRNA into short double stranded RNA fragments called small interfering RNA and microRNA respectively. The Dicer facilitates the activation of RNA induced silencing complex (RISC), which are essential for RNA interference. The RISC has a catalytic component argonate, which is an endonuclease capable of degrading mRNA. siRNAs are specfic to the mRNA sequence unlike miRNAs which are not completely complementary to the mRNA sequence.

A farmer wanted to rid his apple trees of a particular leaf-eating insect. he sprayed his trees with an insecticide that killed
marta [7]
The survival of the 2 percent of the population is due to the presence of a gene obtained from other species. This gene must be responsible for developing resistance in the insects, against the insecticide that was used by the farmer. The gene got incorporated in only 2% of the insects and therefore, they survived and rest of them were susceptible to the insecticide and thus, died.
