<span>
</span>"Grass, grasshopper, snake, hawk" is a food chain* because there is a feeding hierarchy in which food energy flows from one energy to the next. Allow me to elaborate, the grasshopper feeds on the grass and consumes its energy, then the grasshopper is consumed by the snake, who is higher on the trophic** levels, and finally the snake is consumed by the hawk. The hawk absorbs all of the food energy collected from the previous organisms, completing this example of a food chain.

*A food chain is a chain of organisms that feed on each other in a systematic hierarchy and the food energy they collect is passed up the chain.

**A trophic level is a group of organisms that are on the same level in a food chain. So as one organism is consumed by another, it is being eaten by an organism on a higher trophic level than itself. This can be seen in your example, from the grass all the way up to the hawk.

Good luck and have a nice day! ~ c:

A prospective groom, who is healthy, has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease. Their parents are n

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Since the parent are normal; Let assume that their trait is Pp

The affected sister will be recessive in nature, so the trait will be pp

Now, the husband who is the groom will be a carrier with a probability of 2/3 since her sister is affected.

Also, the wife will be carrying a heterozygous trait since she is normal as well.

However, using Hardy-Weinberg assumption:

$q^2 = \dfrac{1}{2500}= 0.0004$

$q = \sqrt{0.0004}$

q = 0.02

Recall that:

$p+q =1 \\ p = 1 - q \\p = 1 - 0.02 \\p = 0.98\\$

Thus, $p^2 = (0.98)^2$

$p^2 = 0.9604$

$2pq = 2 \times 0.98 \times 0.022$

2pq = 0.0392

Finally, the required probability that there will be an affected offspring amongst the family is:

$= \dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{3} \times 0.0392$

$= \dfrac{1}{153}$

Can spiders smell???????????

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Spiders, in fact, do taste, and also smell, through special sensory organs on their legs, as well as on their pedipalps. And they hear – or, more specifically, they sense vibrations – through hairs and tiny slits distributed over much of their body.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Dr. Brantz wants to test the part of the brain which is active while lying. For this purpose, he will need to make use of the fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) technique. This technique is used for measuring the brain activity by the means of the detecting changes in the blood flow. The neural activation affects the cerebral blood flow, and this change can be noticed using fMRI.

Hence, the answer is 'fMRI'.
