Explain why toxic compounds usually have the greatest effect on top-level carnivores

Biology
1 answer:
gladu [14]3 years ago
8 0
This is because toxins are ingested by organisms and accumulate in the fatty tissues. Theses toxins then become more concentrated in successive trophic levels of a food web biological magnification. Magnification occurs because the biomass at any given trophic level is produced from a much larger biomass ingested from the level below and therefore, top-level carnivores tend to be the organisms most severely affected by toxic compounds.

Which of the following statements best supports the claim that organisms share fundamental processes as a result of evolution? (
podryga [215]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

All living organisms' cell are composed of genetic material in form of DNA. The DNA encodes the information needed for the production of useful products (proteins). The way in which the information is encoded is called the GENETIC CODE. It consists of all the triplet nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes an amino acid.

This genetic code is universal i.e. the same genetic code is employed by virtually all living organisms, as a codon does not encode another amino acid in another organism. It is universal that AUG specifies Methionine in all living organisms. This shows that all organism share a common evolutionary history.

Hence, it is possible for an organism to express a gene from another organism since the same genetic code will be used to read the information in the gene.
