Why does an ecosystem have carrying capacity

Biology

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]3 years ago
7 0

Carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the defined as the largest population that it can sustain indefinitely with the available resources. Biologists also refer to carrying capacity as the “maximum load”. Carrying capacity has factors it depends on. These are the many abiotic and biotic factors in the ecosystem and some are more obvious than others.  The most obvious being, the availability of the basic needs of organisms which make up the different ecosystems. Some of these are food, water and shelter in which dictate how many individuals the ecosystem can sustain.

Which describes the effects of population increase and resource depletion
Setler [38]

Answer AND Explanation:

As the population increases, the amount of resources are depleted. Inadequate resources makes the population growth to stop. With a high population, death rate increases due to starvation and diseases which spread more easily in a large population. There may be a decrease in birth rate due to fewer matings and abortions resulting from social stress.

In garden pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p), and full pod shape (F) is dominant to constricted po
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The phenotypes are as follows

Purple, full- 9

Purple, constricted- 3

White, full- 3

White, constricted- 1

Genotype of parents are PpFf, each produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf.

Explanation:

This is a dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for flower color and the other for pod shape. The allele for purple color (P) is dominant over the allele for white color (p) while the allele for full pod (F) is dominant over the allele for constricted pod (f).

In a cross between two heterozygote parents i.e. PpFf × PpFf, each parent will produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image) the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a phenotypic ratio: 9:3:3:1

Purple color, full pod- 9

Purple color, constricted pod- 3

White flower, full pod- 3

White flower, constricted pod- 1

Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.
mojhsa [17]
The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean<span> transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.</span>

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Co-dominance is when both alleles combine to form an intermediate phenotype. It's like crossing a red and white flower and getting a pink flower.
