The answer to this question would be <span>Some is used by decomposers, and some is released into the environment as heat.
</span>
When an organism died, decomposer can degrade some of its remaining corpses and use the produced energy. Some of the parts can't be degraded like bones.
The total energy should not be decreased as it was opposing the law of conservation of energy.
The correct answer is: Artificial selection (selective breeding).
Artificial Selection is a form of selection, totally influenced by human, in which traits that should be passed onto offspring are chosen by human. Selective breeding was used long before the genetics was discoverd. Farmers used individuals with beneficial traits, larger in size, with bigger fruit etc.
Hunting is also one type of selective breeding, since the hunters choose the animal and remove it from the population (gene pool), leaving the “weaker” to pass on to the next generation.
Answer:
it's 2
I don't know how to explain but yeah its 2
Answer:
13. is Option J) all of the above
and 14 I'm not completely sure but I think its option D.
Answer:
Sexual reproduction:
Pros: leads to greater genetic variation.
Cons: requires more time and energy.
Asexual reproduction:
Pros: Does not require finding a mate.
Cons: Produce less genetic variation.
Explanation:
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in higher organisms, in which new individuals are formed by combining genetic information from two different types (sexes) of individuals.
Advantage: Sexual reproduction leads to higher genetic variation due to recombination between genetic material of female and male gamete during meiosis.
Disadvantage: Sexual reproduction is a time and energy consuming process as it needs interaction between mates and organisms which are produced sexually require more time for development.
Asexual reproduction involves formation of new organisms from a single parent organism without gamete fusion.
Advantage: Asexual reproduction requires less time and energy as it does not require finding a mate.
Disadvantage: Asexual reproduction produces less genetic variations as it involves only parent organisms (no mixing of genetic information) and the only source of variations are random mutations.
