Answer;

-Disruptive selection

Disruptive selection results in the creation of two distinct phenotypes.

Explanation;

-Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that selects against the average individual in a population. The make up of this type of population would show phenotypes of both extremes but have very few individuals in the middle.

-The variance of the trait increases and the population is divided into two distinct groups. The disruptive selection will cause organisms with intermediate traits to reproduce less, and will allow those organisms with extreme traits to reproduce more.

How do the laws of thermodynamics relate to the transformation of energy in organisms? Use the terms autotroph and heterotroph w
yarga [219]

Answer:

he organisms that can fix energy from inorganic sources into organic molecules are called autotrophs. Organisms that cannot make their food from inorganic sources but depend on energy rich organic molecules synthesized by autotrophs for their energy needs are called heterotrophs.

The only source of energy for all the ecosystems of the earth is the sun. Light falling on the plants is trapped by the producers or autotrophs in the presence of chlorophyll and is used in synthesizing the organic food called glucose by the process of photosynthesis. By photosynthesis radiant energy of sunlight is transformed into potential energy of food. A part of this energy is trapped by the producers while the rest of the energy is dissipated. The remaining part of energy which is used in the synthesis of plant biomass is called photosynthate which is then available to the next trophic level in the food chain that is the consumers or heterotrophs. In an ecosystem there is a unidirectional flow of energy.

Which process will result in a gain of energy in an ecosystem?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Photosynthesis in algae cells

Ecosystems were able to maintain themselves by cycling the nutrients and energy obtained from external sources. The flow of energy through a food chain is known as energy flow. At tropical level, solar energy is used by the primary producers  to produce organic plants materials through photosynthesis.

azamat

Answer:

In multicellular organisms, the mechanism most directly responsible for directing development and maintaining homeostasis is gene "regulation"

Explanation:

Even though the organs present throughout the body helps in maintaining the homeostasis, But the systems like endocrine system and nervous system plays important role in sustaining and regulating it.  The gene regulation is the increase and decrease of the specific gene products. Gene regulation can also be understood as the regulating process which helps in controlling ability of the cell to the environmental changes or can say the adaptability of the cell to changing environment done by gene regulation.
