Over [174]

The complete question is as follows:

1. How did the green world hypothesis differ from this “bottom-up” view?

2. Imagine a simple food chain: Grass -> Grasshoppers -> Mice. If snakes that eat mice are added to the ecosystem, how would you redraw the food chain to represent this change?

3. After the snakes are added, would you expect the amount of grass to increase or decrease? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

1. The green world hypothesis states that plants or producers are consumed in less quantity by herbivores due to predators and other conditions which is different from the hypothesis as it says the number of the herbivores are regulated by the organism above them in the food web instead of below.

2. before adding snake: Grass →Grasshoppers →Mice ( arrow towards predator)

After adding the sakes: Grass →Grasshoppers →Mice→Snakes. (as snakes eat mice so they will be added after mice)

3. The grasses will decrease as there would be fewer mice due to snakes and the number of grasshoppers will be high which leads to the decrease in the amount of grass.

The first genetic material on earth was probably ________.
vfiekz [6]

The first genetic material on earth was probably ________.

A) DNA produced by reverse transcriptase from abiotically produced RNA

B) DNA molecules whose information was transcribed to RNA and later translated in polypeptides

C) self-replicating RNA molecules

D) oligopeptides located within protobionts

Answer:

C) self-replicating RNA molecules

Explanation:

RNA molecules are considered to be the first genetic material that evolved on the earth. Assembly of nucleotides gave rise to single stranded RNA molecules that could catalyze various processes. These RNA molecules were able to replicate themselves. In this way, the self-replicating RNA molecules served as the first genetic material. Later, the accumulation of several mutations such as the evolution of thymine base from uracil and deoxyribose sugar from the ribose sugar gave rise to DNA.

Which of the following is the correctly compares the result of volcanic activity and crustal deformation?
Andru [333]

<span>The answer is a Volcanic activity only causes the earth’s surface to rise and crustal deformation causes it to rise and fall. Volcanic activity involves the ejection of lava from deep in their earth’s mantle to the surface hence causing a geographical elevation in the site of activity. Crustal deformation, on the other hand, involves forces of the tectonic plates such as compression that results to folds, faults.</span>
