Answer:
1.Energy unidirectionally flows through an ecosystem, whereas matter generally cycles within an ecosystem.
Explanation:
In an ecosystem, energy from the organisms of one trophic level to that of next occurs by the process of feeding. The flow of energy follows a unidirectional path which means that energy from producers is carried to the primary consumers, secondary consumers and so on. It does not flow in reverse direction (from consumers to producers).
On the other hand, matter such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. are cycled via various biogeochemical cycles. For instance, plants intake carbon from the air in the form of CO2 and form organic nutrients. These organic nutrients carry the carbon from plants to herbivores and then to the consumers of higher trophic levels. However, when plants and consumers die, the carbon present in their tissues is decomposed and is released back to the surroundings. In this way, the carbon cycle cycles carbon in an ecosystem.
Answer:

Answer:
Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments according to their size. DNA samples are loaded into wells (indentations) at one end of a gel, and an electric current is applied to pull them through the gel. DNA fragments are negatively charged, so they move towards the positive electrode.
Explanation:
Answer:
Cognitive dissonance
Explanation:
People tend to justify a past decision, to reduce the stress of the outcome of a decision taken, based on false information. In this case it could not be proved that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Therefore, more people started to still support the war based on other reasons. Like the liberation of the Iraq population from an authoritarian leader.
Answer: XHXh (Note: the H's are superscripts.)
Explanation:
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait which means that the males having one altered copy of the gene is enough to cause the medical condition( as they have only one X chromosomes and females have two)
In this case the genotype of father and son is such that they are affected by hemophilia.The son has mother's X chromosome and father's Y chromosome.
XhY is the genotype of father and son. As mother would be heterozygous because she is not affected, her genotype will be XHXh.
