The base of the pyramid is composed of species called autotrophs, the primary producers of the ecosystem. All other organisms in the ecosystem are consumers called heterotrophs, which either directly or indirectly depend on the primary producers for food energy.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The great genetic and phenotypic diversity among humans is due to crossing over during meiosis in the human population.
<u>If crossing over does not happen in meiosis then, there will no genetic and phenotypic diversity in humans.

<span>Cells are living units, surrounded by a membrane, with or without nucleus (this is also the majo division of cell types). Cells can live "on their own", if certain conditions are fullfilled. Viruses live inside (some) cells and they are dependent on those cells on survival</span>
Answer:
Option-C
Explanation:
Apoptosis is a genetically controlled process taking place in the multicellular organisms which is marked with the self-destruction called or programmed cell death.
During apoptosis various physiological and morphological changes take place in the cell such as fragmentation of nuclear DNA, nucleus, shrinkage of cell and mRNA decay.
Since apoptotic cell undergoes cell death which is genetically controlled or programmed by the genes, therefore, apoptosis is known as the programmed cell death.
Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
