Explanation:

Edit

An ecological pyramid (also trophic pyramid, Eltonian pyramid, energy pyramid, or sometimes food pyramid) is a graphical representation designed to show the biomass or bioproductivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem.

A pyramid of energy represents how much energy, initially from the sun, is retained or stored in the form of new biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem. Typically, about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, thus preventing a large number of trophic levels. Energy pyramids are necessarily upright in healthy ecosystems, that is, there must always be more energy available at a given level of the pyramid to support the energy and biomass requirement of the next trophic level.

A pyramid of energy shows how much energy is retained in the form of new biomass at each trophic level, while a pyramid of biomass shows how much biomass (the amount of living or organic matter present in an organism) is present in the organisms. There is also a pyramid of numbers representing the number of individual organisms at each trophic level. Pyramids of energy are normally upright, but other pyramids can be inverted or take other shapes.

Ecological pyramids begin with producers on the bottom (such as plants) and proceed through the various trophic levels (such as herbivores that eat plants, then carnivores that eat flesh, then omnivores that eat both plants and flesh, and so on). The highest level is the top of the food chain.

Ede4ka [16]

Complete question:

Thinking creatively about evolutionary mechanisms, identify at least

two schemes that could generate allelic polymorphism in a population except natural selection that favors heterozygotes.

<u>Select the two correct answers.</u>

-inbreeding among individuals in the population

-purifying selection against mutational variants of alleles in the population

-continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population

-mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity

-genetic drift of alleles common in the population

-events leading to genetic bottleneck effect

Answer:

The two events that might favor heterozygotes among the options are  

  • The Continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
  • Mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity.  These might favor heterozygous frequencies.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.

Individuals in a species have genetic variation that can be passed on to their offspring
grandymaker [24]

Answer: Genetic variation within a species can result from a few different sources. Mutations, the changes in the sequences of genes in DNA, are one source of genetic variation. ... As a result, the tree-colored moths are more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on their genes.
