The correct answer is (b) Increase

Pines trees are infected by different insects during the adverse and stressed environmental condition. Pine borer beetle is pest that infect pine tree during the stressed condition due to lack of water in that area. In healthy condition pines can kill these insects but in stressed condition insect will effect the plant so if the number of beetle will decrease, the population of pines will increase in that area.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "increase".

Parasitism (+/-) is a type of ecological relationship in which one organism lives on or in another organism to get its nutrition. It causes harm or may even kill another organism.

In this scenario, if the population of the parasite (pine borer beetle) decreases, then it would decrease harm and destruction of pine trees.

Hence, the population of pine trees would increase.

How do organisms use the atoms of food molecules?
Natalka [10]
Organisms use the atoms of food molecules to build larger organic molecules including proteins, DNA, and fats (lipids) and use the energy in food to power life processes. By breaking the bonds in food molecules, cells release energy to build new compounds.

In garden peas, long stems are dominant to short stems, and yellow seeds are dominants to green seeds, too long/yellow pea plant
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A) 300

B) 3:1

C) 9 long yellow : 3 long green : 3 short yellow : 1 short green

Explanation:

Long stems (L_) are dominant to short stems (ll)

Yellow seeds (Y_) are dominant to green seeds (yy)

We interbred pea plants with long stems and yellow seeds (L_Y_), but they had a short green parent (llyy) that could have only produced <em>ly</em> gametes, so our plants are heterozygous <em>LlYy</em>.

C) We interbred them LlYy x LlYy. If the two genes are unlinked, this is a typical dihybrid cross and from Mendel's law of independent assortment we know that the offspring will have the following phenotypic ratios:

  • 9/16 L_Y_ (Long, yellow)
  • 3/16 L_yy (Long, green)
  • 3/16 llY_ (short, yellow)
  • 1/16 llyy (short, green)

A) 3/16 × 1600 = 300 plants will be long and green.

B)

9/16 + 3/16 = 12/16= 3/4 plants will be yellow;

3/16 + 1/16 = 4/16= 1/4 plants will be green.

The ratio will be 3 yellow : 1 green
