As the bear enters hibernation, its metabolic processes such as body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate are reduced. But bears do not lower the body temperature as much as once thought. Their hibernation temperature is around 88 degrees and waking temperature is 100 degrees F. This relatively high sleeping temperature allows bears to become fully alert if aroused, perhaps to enable the bear to protect itself from predators and other dangers without unnecessarily taxing their energy reserves. Over the course of a hibernating season it is thought that bears use approximately 4 thousand calories a day, which results in a weight loss of about 20 percent of it body weight by spring.
Answer:
There is no data to show but there would definitely be a decrease in the population of the other organisms in lower trophic level (sea otter).
Explanation:
This question involves an aquatic food chain involving organisms like clams, sea stars, sea otters, and sharks. In this question, the shark appears to occupy the highest trophic level i.e. tertiary consumer. Ideally, as the food chain progresses from the lowest to highest trophic level, the population of each organism decreases.
However, an increase in the population of sharks will mean more mouths to feed on other consumers. Hence, causing a decrease in the population of other organisms in lower trophic level especially the organism that occupies the secondary consumer trophic level.

Answer:
The recombination frequency between two genes can not be more than 50 percent due to the independent and random assorting of the genes that are linked generating 50% recombination.
* Genes should be located far enough from one another so that crossover points can be made.
Example: Genes present at the 2 extreme ends of the chromosome.
* There should not be the linkage between the two genes due to linked genes go together. So no recombination happens.
It may be more than 50% if selected parents are heterozygous. But Mendel took homozygous parents. So, the maximum is 50%. There will be no recombinant if the two genes are linked.
