Answer:

Quaternary

Explanation:

Living organisms found in the ecosystem are involved in a feeding chain in order to obtain energy needed for their metabolic processes. This chain is called Food Chain and it consists of steps in which organisms are classified based on their feeding behavior. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL. The trophic level begins with PRODUCERS up to QUARTENARY CONSUMERS.

As one organism eats another, energy in form of biomass is transferred to such organism. However, only a little fraction of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level as most of the energy (80-90%) is lost as heat during the organism's metabolic activities. Hence, the higher the organism on the TROPHIC LEVEL, the lower the amount of available energy.

Based on this, the QUARTENARY CONSUMER is the highest on the trophic level and will contain the smallest amount of energy available.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Based on the punnets square (assuming that eye color is a one gene trait in this question) There is a 75% chance they would have a child with brown eyes and a 25% chance that the child would have blue if the father is heterozygous. Theoretically the father could be heterozygous and still have 11 brown eyed kids. This just means that the Dad always passed down his dominant gene.

How does dna work reinforcement activity answer key?
nlexa [21]
DNA fulfills the function of replicating itself, which is a process in which identical copies of each molecule of the same are made. This replication is essential so that the genetic data can be transferred from one generation to the next, constituting the basis of the inheritance.
<span>The mechanism is given by separating the two chains of the helix from it, to serve as a template in the formation of new chains, which are called messenger RNA. Which are the result of two molecules equal to the first. This replication is called semi conservative, since each molecule resulting from the replication has one chain of the mother molecule and another newly created one.</span>
