Hey there!

Answer: 400 k-cal

I remember learning that 4,000 k-cal would be approximately 40 k-cal for the primary consumers, which, that would be how much would be available. Now, if we would want for the primary consumers to consume more k-cal, it's obvious that there would then have to be more k-cal from the producers level of the ecosystem.

Formula of k-calories: k-cal÷20(4)= k-cal = k-cal × 2 = k-cal

As we plug in this formula into our problem above, our answer would be explained below.

40,000 ÷ 20 = 2,000 × 2 = 4,000 ÷ 100 = 400 k-cal

Answer: 400 k-cal

Which of the following describes the ability of a single gene to have multiple phenotypic effects?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

A, pleiotropy.

Explanation:

Pleiotropy - genes that have multiple phenotypic effects. Remember that phenotype means a physical characteristic caused by a gene, such as eye color or fur patterns.

Incomplete dominance - when neither allele is dominant and they mix together in the phenotype. A popular example is a red flower crossing with a white flower and resulting in a pink flower.

Epistasis - when two genes contribute to the phenotype, but one gene completely masks another gene. An example would be labrador fur colors.

Multiple alleles - 3 or more alternative forms of a gene, but only 2 alleles can occupy an organism. An example is blood type.

Hope this helps!
