The food supply of the carnivores in an ecosystem is the available herbivores, so in order for the carnivores to survive for an extended amount of time their population must be considerably less than their food supply, so that there is an abundance of prey available. Populations of predator and prey have a cyclic increasing and decreasing relationship to regulate the number of both.
Answer/Explanation:
The diagram below shows the various stages of ecological succession that occurs over time and how an ecosystem forms from bare surfaces like an area of land covered by lava as a result of volcanic eruption.
The changes in the group of species that occur overtime is depicted in the "six stages" graph which can be described as follows:
1. The first line in the graph shows bare rock which initially supports no life forms.
2. The second stage is dominated initially by pioneer species such as mosses, lichen, which usually produce many small spores and seeds that are dispersed over large area of land. They colonize the bare rocks and their activities help in the breaking down of the rocks to form soil. They also help in the formation of organic matter, and with time, enable the growth of herbaceous plants such as grasses and ferns.
3. At stage 3, herbeceous plants like grasses and herbs that are usually annual plants, gradually replace the mosses and lichen, followed by perrenial herbaceous plants. Further build up of organic manure occurs, thereby encouraging more species of organism to dominate the land
4. At stage 4, woody pioneers that are more later than grasses begin to form and dominate the area with time as more group of species are added.
5. At stage 5, Fast growing trees that are shade intolerant begin to emerge and populate the area, in the presence of herbs and other vascular plant species.
6. At stage 6, a climax community is formed as shade tolerant trees emerge.
Answer:
Option C, 32 million
Explanation:
As per standard rule -
Number of base pair per nucleosome is equal to 
Now, the total number of base pair in human genome is 
billion.
Number of nucleosome in billion base pairs is equal to
These are diploid cells and hence the number of nucleosomes will be 2n
Hence, the total number of nucleosomes are
Hence, option C is correct
Answer:
in the chloroplast
Explanation:
In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.
Answer:
Gene mutations can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or carcinogens due to ionizing radiation. Mutations can also occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
