How does a decrease/decline in a top predator impact biodiversity in an ecosystem?

Biology
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The most obvious result of the removal of the top predators in an ecosystem is a population explosion in the prey species. ... When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other. When the predators are removed, prey populations explode.

A group of six students has taken samples of their own cheek cells, purified the DNA, and used a restriction enzyme known to cut
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

D. The two students who have two fragments have one restriction site in this region.

Explanation:

The DNA samples from the cheek cells were subjected to digestion with a restriction enzyme. This enzyme is an endonuclease and cuts the DNA at a specific sequence only. This sequence is called a restriction site. If the restriction site is not present in the sample DNA, the restriction enzyme cannot cut it. The presence of one restriction site in the sample DNA would cut it into two DNA fragments.

Similarly, the presence of two restriction sites in each DNA molecule would obtain a total of three DNA fragments per DNA molecule.
