Answer: Germline mutation

A germline mutation is a mutation in the fully developed germ cells (sperm and ovum). These defective mutated cells fuse to form zygote. The zygote rapidly produces all somatic and germline cells in the offsprings which are also mutated. Therefore, mutation is transmitted from parents to offsprings. Cystic fibrosis is a result of germline mutation. This disease is hereditary in nature passes from parents to the offsprings. If a child receives CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) mutated gene from both the parents than the child will be affected by the symptoms of this disease. If the child receives a single copy of CFTR gene from either of the parent than the child will be the carrier of disease.The mutated gene may be present in the germline cells of the parent or on all the body cells.

The image shows the evolution of a species of fish. A few fish from a population developed different social behaviors and evolve
adell [148]

According to the image, the fish underwent sympatric speciation. The new species of fish had mating seasons that were different from that of the original fish. Because of the differences in mating seasons, the fish underwent reproductive isolation. This mode of isolation would be temporal.

Sympatric speciation happens within a population of an organism that gets isolated reproductively due to differences in their mating periods. This time dependent isolation is called temporal isolation. Example, a fish population can split into two if some of the fishes start mating early in the spring while the rest mate late in the autumn. The spring-mating population will not become compatible to mate with the late-autumn-mating population.

When plants undergo photosynthesis, they take in water and other nutrients from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air to prod
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

In an ecosystem photosynthetic plants act as producers wheres other organism act as consumers.

Explanation:

Green plants undergo photosynthesis to produce their own food as a result they are called producers and are placed in the first tropic label of energy pyramid.

          The other organism that intake green plants are called primary consumers for example grasshopper. The primary consumers are placed in the second tropic label of energy pyramid.

           The other consumers are termed as secondary consumers or primary carnivores that feed on primary consumers For example Snake because it eats grasshopper and is placed in the third tropic label.

         Finally the tertiary consumers or secondary carnivores consumes secondary consumers to intake energy from them.For example Hawk eats snake,as a result hawk act as secondary carnivores and are placed in the top of the energy pyramid.
