Answer:
The plants in an ecosystem produce food for most of the other organisras that live in that ecosystem. The role of a plant in its ecosystem is its <em>trophic level</em>
Explanation:
Plants are the least to be found in the trophic level, they are otherwisely called <em>autotrophs. </em>They make food for themselves while others among the trophic level depend on them
The correct answer is:
The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.
Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.
Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.
