lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Both statements are true

Explanation:

Many small tree saplings are competing for sunlight on the forest floor because tree saplings in forest floors are often deprived of adequate light as a result of the shade created by bigger trees in the forest. <em>Hence, the saplings jostle for light in order to effectively carry out light-requiring physiological activities such as photosynthesis and chlorophyll synthesis.</em>

Scientist use data from Gregor Mendel‘s studies to conclude that information about traits is passed from parents to offspring th
vaieri [72.5K]

The correct answer is genes.  

A trait refers to the feature like size or color, which is passed from the parents and is inherited by the offspring. The genes control traits and come in pairs, that is, one gene from each parent.  

The transmission of hereditary traits possesses its molecular framework in the accurate DNA replication. This generates gene copies, which can be transmitted to the offspring from the parents. In plants and animals, the reproductive cells known as gametes are the mediators, which transfer genes from one generation to the next.

Examine the energy pyramid below. How does the first level affect the carrying capacity of the ecosystem?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The amount of energy in the first level determines how many animals can be supported on the subsequent levels.

The first level of the energy pyramid usually consists of the producers which are the main source of energy for a food web or a food chain. They determine that how many number of species can be supported by the particular ecosystems at each subsequent levels of the energy pyramid. They are the main source through which energy arises in an ecosystem.
