I do not know if it’s a bad thing but it’s okay so if you don’t do have a great day
They ensured that balance in the ecosystem was maintained. They ensure that the genetic diversity and species is maintained. Sea otters applied natural selection pressures on the sea urchins population hence maintaining their level such that they will not overgraze on the kelps. Overgrazing would severely affect the sea urchin population and consequently severely affect the sea otters population too.
The genetic base of the shape of orchid is very complex.
Mendelian traits are described as simple traits determined by one gene. The different alleles of the gene contribute to the difference in the trait. This is true for some traits in plants, animals including humans and other organisms, but not for the shape of orchids.
The shape of orchid flowers is determined by the ABCDE group of genes that are responsible for the body plan in plants. These genes are the equivalent of HOX genes of animals.
The protein products of different genes of the ABCDE group interact with each other in complex ways creating different shapes of orchids.
I would include
- The nucleus: contain genetic info
- Lysosome: clean up things
- Mitochondria: ATP factory
- Ribosome: make protein
- Cell membrane and Cell Wall: maintain and shape the cell etc
