Answer:
B? Hope this helps, sorry if it's wrong.
Explanation:
Before assessing the two given cases, an assumption needs to be made about the digestion of the two types of food items, corn and beef. Let us assume that both get digested by expending same amount of energy by the human body. Let the amount of energy at producer level be an arbitrary X.
Case 1: Corn to human:
Since corn is at the producer level, it will have X amount of energy. The transfer of energy from corn to human will take place with a loss of 90% energy at the producer level. Hence the humans will receive 10% of X amount of energy.
Case 2: Corn to cow to human:
Since corn has X amount of energy, only 10% will pass to the next level, i.e. cow. So cow has 10% of X. Cow transfers only 10% of the energy that it has. Hence humans receive only 10% of 10% of X amount of energy.
It can be seen that humans receive more energy in case 1 than case 2. Hence we can say that it is more efficient for humans to feed on corn.
The cause of mutations in gene expressions are the changes of gene instructions that causes your protein to malfunction. The effect of mutations are the genes not being able to function properly and send the wrong codes/info to your cells.
The main type of evidence the scientists used is fossils.
Palaeontologists study plants and animals that existed in the geologic past. To do so, they use fossils and try to determine an organism's evolution and relationship with the environment and other organisms. In this example, palaeontologists used fossils from ancient horses that have gone extinct and try to decipher their evolutionary path. Recognising the evolutionary steps of the ancient horses will make it possible to compare them to the modern horses.
