According to an answer from another and a bit of my own research;

A decomposer is exactly what it sounds like, an organism that decomposes something and feeds off of it. You can eliminate the answers "Owl" and "Hawk" from a first glance as they are both consumers. Looking at it again, an "Ant" is not a decomposer, but rather, a consumer just like your other two options. This leaves "Fungus", something that decomposes it's food.

Please forgive me if I'm wrong. Feel free to ask for more information and I will scour the internet to see what I can find. <3

Answer:

B. Fungus

Explanation:

Most fungi are decomposers called saprotrophs. They feed on decaying organic matter and return nutrients to the soil for plants to use. Fungi are the only decomposers that can break down wood and the cellulose in plant cell walls, so they are the primary decomposers in forests

In unicorns, three alleles at a gene determine the condition of the horn. The allele for a twisted horn, HT, and the allele for

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

0.50

Explanation:

According to the given information, the frequency of the hornless genotype in the population is = 16% = 0.16. This means that the frequency of the hornless allele in the population is = square root of 0.16 = 0.4.

The gene for the horns in unicorn has three alleles. If the frequency of the allele for twisted horns is represented by "p" and that of the hornless allele is represented as "q", then the frequency of the allele for the longhorn would be (r) = 1- (p+q).

This is due to the fact that the sum total of frequencies of all the possible alleles of a particular gene in a population in the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is always 1 (p+q+r =1). Now, putting the values of p and q in the formula to calculate the frequency of allele for the longhorn (r) = 1- (0.1 + 0.4) = 1-0.5 = 0.5
