Biology

The correct option is B.
In the ecosystem, energy flows from one trophic level to the other. The first trophic level is that of the producers which use the energy of the sun to produce their own food. Out of the energy obtained from the sun by the producers only about 3% of it is converted into food products. The second trophic level is made up of the herbivores and the omnivores which eat the plant. Only about 10% of the energy from the plant is transferred to the animals in the second trophic level. These second trophic level animals will also transfer about 10% of the energy they obtain to the animals in the third trophic level when they are eaten. Thus, it can be seen that the energy that is transferred in the ecosystem is gradually reducing from one trophic level to another.

Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon<br> flowers as an example.
oee [108]

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!

A farmer is trying to determine why some weeds sprayed with weed killer do not die. to begin a scientific investigation of this
blagie [28]
The first thing that the farmer should do is formulate a hypothesis in which he will make intelligent guesses on what is happening or develop a theory of which would explain what is happening. It is the first step in scientific investigation in order to formulate questions of why weeds that are sprayed does not die. After this, it is only then the farmer should experiment and after that, he should finalize his findings as it is its conclusion to the problem.

A population of trout in a lake has significantly declined over the past year. The main source of food for the fish in this lake
andrew11 [14]

The decline in the overall population of trout and larger fish is because the Insect population has decreased.

<h3>What is a population?</h3>

A population is a group of organisms of the same species living in the same habitat.

Population of organisms is affected by;

  • availability of water
  • space
  • food and nutrients
  • predators
  • climate change

Since the population of trout is directly affected by the number of insect species, the decline in the overall population is because the Insect population has decreased.
