Answer:
It is a sequence of chemicals reactions in which molecules are broken down in the presence of oxygen to generate energy.
Explanation:
A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.
Answer:Each and every one of us have several roles. Organisms in a community play other roles too. An organism's role within an ecosystem depends on how it earn its nutrients. Organisms collect their nutrients in very different actions, so they have different roles in an ecosystem.
Explanation:
The food chain describes who eats whom in the wild. Every living thing—from one-celled algae to giant blue whales—needs food to survive. Each food chain is a possible pathway that energy and nutrients can follow through the ecosystem.
For example, grass produces its own food from sunlight. A rabbit eats the grass. A fox eats the rabbit. When the fox dies, bacteria break down its body, returning it to the soil where it provides nutrients for plants like grass.
Of course, many different animals eat grass, and rabbits can eat other plants besides grass. Foxes, in turn, can eat many types of animals and plants. Each of these living things can be a part of multiple food chains. All of the interconnected and overlapping food chains in an ecosystem make up a food web.
To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
Hello LonelyPerson, to answer your question.
The Galápagos were officially annexed by Ecuador in February 12 1832 and were named "Archipelago del Ecuador.". It is still today officially a province of Ecuador. Ecuador claimed the <span>Galápagos Islands</span> just three years before their most famous visitor, Charles Darwin, dropped anchor on the Beagle and stepped ashore and into history.
