Flows of nutrients and energy

Flows of nutrients and energy link the producers, consumers, decomposers, and the abiotic environment in an ecosystem. Within an ecosystem, the producers obtain energy from the abiotic environment (sunlight). Consumers get nutrients and energy by feeding on other organisms. Decomposers get nutrients and energy by feeding on dead organisms or organic materials.

Biologists use the fluid mosaic model to describe membrane structure
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

This is True.

Explanation:

Biologists use the fluid mosaic model to describe membrane structure. The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.

A couple without an ancestral history of Tay-Sachs disease (a rare autosomal recessive) have two normal children and an infant a
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The probability is 25%.

Explanation:

  • Let the dominant allele for the disease be 'T' and recessive allele be 't'.
  • The couple with normal phenotype produces an infant with the Tay Sach's disease.
  • As the disease is autosomal recessive in nature, it will get expressed in a homozygous recessive condition, that is, when the genotype is : tt.
  • As the normal parents are producing a diseased offspring, the both parents must be heterozygous dominant (Tt) for the disease allele.
  • The brother of the husband and the sister of the wife, both having a normal phenotype, can have the following genotypes, TT or Tt.
  • If either of the individual (brother or sister) has TT genotype and the other has other has either TT or Tt genotype, there is zero probability that they will produce an offspring with the disease.

                     T          T                        and                       T            T

             T     TT        TT                                             T     TT         TT

                     (N)        (N)                                                    (N)        (N)

             T      TT        TT                                             t      Tt          Tt        

                     (N)        (N)                                                    (N)         (N)

  • If both the individuals have a Tt genotype, the probability to produce  diseased offspring is one-fourth or 25%.

                                               T             t

                                   T        TT           Tt

                                             (N)           (N)

                                    t        Tt             tt

                                             (N)           (D)

  • (N) stands for normal and (D) stands for diseased phenotype.

Match the animals to the phenomenon that they undergo
serg [7]

Answer: The first and the fourth figure is showing the two stages of metamorphosis in beetle. The first figure represents the adult stage of beetle and the last figure represents the larvae stage of beetle. Metamorphosis is the biological process by which an organism goes through differentiation of cells. As a result of this differentiation the structure of the organism changes from one to another. There are four stages egg, larvae, pupa, adult.

The second figure shows regeneration in cnidaria. They repair their body and reproduce asexually by this process. They show two stages polyp and medusae. Medusae have less ability to regenerate but poly stage can regenerate from small parts. This ability helps corals to heal back after being destroyed by predators.

The third figure represents cow and this is an unique feature of mammals to produce milk by their mammary gland. During the lactation period the cow produces milk that is used by cattle and human beings.

Migration is when individuals join new populations, this causes a change in gene frequencies that results in evolutionary change
Yuri [45]

Migration is when individuals join new populations, this causes a change in gene frequencies that results in evolutionary change, which is called gene flow or gene migration. Gene flow can change the incidence and the variety of alleles in the populations because of the migration of organisms that reproduce in a different population. This results to a new combination of traits.
