Briefly, one can categorize the 3 types of boundaries as so: At convergent boundaries, the two tectonic plates are coming closer to each other; at divergent boundaries they are increasing they move away from each other and at transform boundaries the plates are moving parallel to their boundary. Based on this, all boundaries will be divergent boundaries.
Answer:
Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. ... In each case, energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next trophic level and each time some energy is lost as heat into the environment.
Answer: herbivore, eukaryote, primary consumer
Explanation:
The red squirrel can be described by the following features.
1. Herbivore: A herbivore is an animal which is dependent upon the plant and their products for it's food requirement. Here, the red squirrel is the herbivore because it is dependent upon the spruce tree seeds for their food requirement.
2. Eukaryote: A eukaryotic organism is the one which has well define nucleus and encloses the genetic material in the nucleus. The red squirrel is a complex eukaryotic organism.
3. Primary consumer: In a food chain a primary consumer is an organism which is dependent upon plants and their food products for energy and food needs. The red squirrel is the primary consumer this is because of the fact that it consumes on the seeds of the spruce trees.
Answer:
The probability of producing a round and green plant from this cross is 3/16
Explanation:
This question involves two distinct genes coding for seed shape and seed colour. In the seed shape gene, allele for round seeds (R) is dominant over allele for wrinked seeds (r), while in the seed colour gene, allele for yellow seed (Y) is dominant over allele for green seeds (y).
A truebreeding plant means that the plant possesses homozygous genotype. Hence, a truebreeding pea plant with round and green seeds will have genotype: RRyy while true-breeding pea plant with wrinkled and yellow seeds will have genotype: rrYY. These two parents will produce F1 offsprings with genotype: RrYy (heterozygous).
When the F1 offsprings are self-crossed (RrYy × RrYy), the following allelic combinations of gametes will be produced by each F1 parent: RY, Ry, rY, ry
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), 16 possible F2 offsprings with a phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:1 will be produced
9- Round yellow offsprings (R_Y_)
3- Round green offsprings (R_yy)
3- Wrinkled yellow offsprings (rrY_)
1- Wrinkled green offsprings (rryy)
