Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

"1 – 5%".

Explanation:

The conversion efficiency, also known as trophic assimilation efficiency, refers to how much energy is retained in the consumer in comparison with the amount of energy stored in the producer or the organism in the previous trophic level. The higher the trophic level the higher conversion efficiency. Therefore, the conversion efficiency from herbivores to carnivores is very low, because carnivores are at the lowest trophic levels in the food chain. The conversion efficiency at this level reaches barely 5% in some cases. This is the reason why there are very few tertiary carnivores in comparison to the number of plants on Earth.

What is the accepted theory of Redi's origin of flies
xz_007 [3.2K]
Scientist's once believed that living organisms could be created from non-living matter. It was known as Spontaneous Generation. In 1668, an Italian scientist, Francesco Redi, postulated that the theory of Spontaneous Generation is incorrect. He designed a scientific experiment to test the spontaneous creation of maggots. He put fresh meat in each of the two different jars. One jar was left open and the other jar was covered with a cloth. Several days later the open jar contained maggots; the covered jar contained no maggots in the jar - they were found on the cloth covering the jar. He thus successfully demonstrated that maggots came from fly eggs. He also thought he helped disprove the theory of Spontaneous Generation. Unfortunately, he did not.

If an individual is homozygous for a trait, what percentage of his/her gametes will carry that allele?
Kazeer [188]
100% will have that allele. Homozygous means the alleles are the same for every gamete, for example looking at Mendel's pea plants, if the allele for the trait of growing tall is T and the allele for growing short is t, a homozygous tall pea plant would have the genotype TT, meaning all of its alleles are tall
