Answer:

the bottleneck effect

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this is an example of the bottleneck effect. This term refers to the loss of a specific amount of diversity within a population during some event, in which the surviving members only survived by complete luck and would replay the same way. This is what happened with the loss of all the other colored insects except for red and blue.

myrzilka [38]
Assuming a 10% trophic efficiency, the herbivore (primary consumer) will get 10% of the producer energy. Then, the second consumer that eat the herbivore will get 10% of the primary consumer energy, so it is 10%*10%= 1% of the primary producers.
Then, the t<span>ertiary consumer should get 0.1% of the primary producers' energy.</span>

A--What do you get if you add the number of maternal chromosomes in a somatic cell to the number of autosomes in a sex cell, the
madam [21]

Answer:

44

Explanation:

A somatic cell is diploid - it has 46 chromosomes. Half of these are from the mother, so there are 23 maternal chromosomes

A sex cell (gamete) is haploid - it has 23 chromosomes. There are (usually) two sex chromosomes in a diploid genome, either XX or XY, so there is one 1 in a haploid cell, giving a total of 22 autosomes

Barr bodies are inactive X chromosomes in a female somatic cell. This occurs to control dosage compensation (otherwise all the genes on the X in females would be expressed twice as much as they are in males). In a healthy female, there is normally one Barr body

A person with Kleinfelter's syndrome has two X chromosomes and one Y (XXY). They are biologically male, but have two X chromosomes. Therefore, one of these becomes a Barr body, as in females.

23 + 22 - 1 = 44
