Answer:
Option (e).
Explanation:
Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. The chromosome number reduces to half in meiosis.
Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non-sister chromatids. Crossing over will bring variation in the gametes. Hence, the absence of crossing over results in the formation of gametes with less genetic variation.
Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
Answer:
The water treatment plant does not work properly.
Explanation:
The data from the river samples showed that there was a problem with the water treatment plant because there is high amount of pollutants are present in the river sample. The presence of pollutants in the samples shows that the water treatment plant did not work properly, if they did no pollutants are present in the river water so this presence of pollutants indicates inefficiency of water treatment plant.
1. The energy left in the Quaternary consumer level is 0.06283 kcal.
2. 0.65 units of energy is still available at the tertiary consumer level.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Energy flow in an ecosystem obeys the ten percentage law According to which ten percentage of energy from a trophic level gets transferred to the next trophic level. In the given question plants belong to the trophic level , producers and it transfers 10 percentage of its energy to the primary consumer level.
In the question 1 the energy that the producers have is 628.3 kcal. Ten percentage of this i.e 62.83 kcal gets transferred to the primary consumer level. Ten percent of that which is 6.283 kcal gets transferred to the secondary consumer level. Ten percent of 6.283 kcal i.e 0.6283 kcal energy is transferred to the tertiary consumer level.
Thus the Quaternary consumer level gets ten percentage of 0.6283 kcal i.e 0.06283 kcal. In question B the initial energy at the primary level is 650 units. Ten percentage of 650 i.e 65 units reach the primary consumer level. Ten percentage of this 65 units then reaches the secondary consumer level. Thus the secondary consumer level has ten percent of 65 i.e 6.5 units of energy.
So the energy that reaches the tertiary consumer level is ten percentage of 6.5 i.e 0.65 units.
Answer:
Sun(solar energy)
Explanation:
The sun is the ultimate source of energy in our solar system.
The chemical energy in plants all started out with solar energy from the sun.
During the process of photosynthesis;
- green plants manufactures their food using sunlight.
- in the presence of this solar energy, they combine carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
Photosynthetic reaction simply converts solar energy from the sun into chemical energy.
Almost all animals obtain their own energy needs from the plants converting the chemical energy into other forms of energy.
