Meiosis has two rounds of genetic separation and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each. In meiosis homologous chromosomes separate leading to daughter cells that are not genetically identical. In mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to each other.

If a red cow (homozygous dominant) is crossed with a white cow (homozygous dominant), what alleles will the offspring have?
Hatshy [7]
<span>B. RW. Whenever something is dominant the letter will always be capitalized on a punnet square. Since both given animals are homozygous dominant then the answer should all be in capital letters. Since there are no recessive parents which is represented by lowercase letters.</span>

If you ate more food from secondary consumers, how would this change the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

would increase

Explanation:

The pyramid of biomass is a diagram that exhibits the total biomass of the organisms at different trophic levels, which are required to support life in a given ecosystem. This pyramid usually starts with producers situated on the bottom (e.g., plants), then continues with the organisms that eat these primary consumers (herbivores), after with secondary consumers (carnivores), and so successively. The pyramid of biomass indicates the amount of mass of 1-primary producers required to support the life of the primary consumers, 2- primary consumers needed to support the life of the secondary consumers, 3-secondary consumers needed to support the life of the tertiary consumers, and so successively for each trophic level. In this diagram, the trophic level with a higher amount of biomass (and energy) is usually represented by the producers (i.e., by organisms on the bottom), and this amount of biomass decreases as long as more levels are considered. In consequence, if more food from secondary consumers is consumed, it will produce an increase in the percentage of biomass that is needed to support life.
