Yes. In a desert, which mostly is sand, insects, and animals, there are mostly carnivores. Carnivores are animals that eat meat. there is little vegetation in deserts because of the dry soil and lack of rain.

No, thee must be a balance between the two. Too many carnivores mean the herbivores will be hunted way r quickly and will die off, however way to many herbivores means the grass and plant supply will run out. If the two aren't balanced properly the ecosystem will be out of balance.

There is a 1:4 chance of getting JjQq. The parent JjQq can produce four genotypes: JQ, Jq, jQ, and jq. the parent JJQq can produce two genotypes: JQ and Jq. When we do a punnett square:
JJQQ, JJQq, JjQQ, JjQq,
JJQq, JJqq, JjQq, and Jjqq
There are two JjQq.

grin007 [14]

For staining flagella of bacteria use actively motile organisms 20 to 24 hours old, allow to diffuse in sterile water 20 to 30 minutes, transfer droplets of the suspension to clean slides and let evaporate without spreading. Then treat 2 to 4 minutes with the following mordant: tannic acid 10 or 20%, 50 cc.; ferric chloride 5%, 10 to 15 cc.; carbol fuchsin (Ziehl-Nielson), 5 cc.; hydrogen peroxide 3%, 6 to 8 cc. Wash and stain 2 to 3 minutes with a mixture of basic fuchsin, saturated alcoholic, 10 cc.; anilin oil (1 part) and 95% alcohol (3 parts) mixed, 5 cc.; distilled water, 30 cc.; acetic acid, 4%, 1 cc.
