What would happen if a major predator was removed from the food web?

Answer:

Prey population explosion

Explanation:

If a major predator is removed from the ecosystem, it will disturb the predator-prey relationship in the ecosystem that will result in the direct increase in the prey population. This phenomenon is called population explosion where there is no check and balance on the prey population.

For example, if there is a major predator in the forest ecosystem it will feed on herbivores and keep their population at a certain level. This is called predator-prey balance where predators kill prey which in-turn cause food scarcity for predators and leads to a decrease in predator population too. So if any major predator is removed from ecosystem it will disturb this intricate balance.

Hope it helps!

Adenine in DNA is complementary to
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

DNA is also called deoxyribonucleic acid which is made up of two chains which wind around each other to form a double helix model. The 2 DNA strands are also called polynucleotides and they are made up of monomeric units known as nucleotides. These nucleotides are made up of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases: cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine, a phosphate group, and sugar known as deoxyribose.  

Nitrogen bases present on the two separate polynucleotides strands are bound together with the help of base pairing (such as adenine with Thymine) and with hydrogen bonds to form double-stranded DNA.

So, adenine in DNA is complementary to thymine.

What would happen if you flew into jupiter?
aleksley [76]
A major problem in sending space probes to Jupiter is that the planet has no solid surface on which to land, as there is a smooth transition between the planet's atmosphere and its fluid interior. Any probes descending into the atmosphere are eventually crushed by the immense pressures within Jupiter
