Answer: c.The caterpillars gain energy directly from the orchids.  

A food chain is a linear sequence of transfer of food and energy when one organism is consumed by another organism. A food chain maintains the balance of abundance of organisms forms on earth as one organism is fed by the other.

In the given food chain, the caterpillars gain energy directly from the orchids is the correct option because the population of caterpillars eat upon the orchid plants. The food in the form of orchid plants is necessary for obtaining energy by the caterpillars.

1. What type of response will a red blood cell have when placed in a hypertonic solution?
GalinKa [24]
Hypertonic solution means the solution with a lower water potential than the cell cytoplasm, such as salt water.

When the red blood cell is put into it, since the cell has a higher water potential than the solution, water molecules will flow from the cell back into the water due to osmosis.

Osmosis is always where water molecules flow from a region of higher water potential to lower, through a semi permeable membrane (Whcih is the red blood cell membrane in this case.)

Since water flowed out of the cell, the cell lose water and shrinks.

Hypotonic solution is where the solution that has a higher water potential than the cell cytoplasm.

So when the red blood cell is put in that solution, the water will flow from the solution into the cell this time, by osmosis.

The red blood cell will then gain so much water that the cell membrane cannot hold all and therefore burst.

Naily [24]

Answer:

Genetic drift (sampling error)

Explanation:

According to the given information, the population under study has a small size and is more likely to be affected by genetic drift. Genetic drift refers to any chance event that leads to random changes in the allele frequencies of a population over time.

It may occur by sampling error that either makes the allele frequency 100% in the population or completely removes it from the population. Sampling error occurs quickly in the small population. The initial frequency of "blood type A" was 3/85= 0.035. Over the time period of 45 years, sampling error during gamete formation and random fertilization removed all the individuals with "blood type A" from the population and reduced its frequency to 0.
