Answer: Herbivores are the primary consumers in the food chain as they feed on the producers like plants. Carnivores feed on herbivores and so they are the secondary consumers or predators of herbivores.

If the herbivore population is increased, initially there will be more availability of food for the carnivores. Due to this, the size of carnivore population increases. As a result, gradually the herbivores now start depleting and they reach to a point that they are not sufficient to feed all the predators. This eventually causes the death of predators so that again the population of herbivore can reach the equilibrium.

The carnivore population would also increase because there would be a larger food-source for carnivorous so more of them would be able to survive

1. What are four phases in doing research? Describe each phase.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

I have never heard of the four phases of research, but I know that the scientific method can be summarized in four steps.

1. Observe something in nature.
2. Make a hypothesis (prediction) based on that observation.
3. Design and undergo and experiment to test the validity of your hypothesis.
4. Draw a conclusion about your hypothesis based on the results of your experiment.

Prior to its export from the nucleus, what modifications must be made to a mRNA molecule in eukaryotic cells?

mamaluj [8]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Before the mRNA which has been processed from DNA is taken and transported to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for the translation process, some modifications are made to the mRNA before transport. This includes

1. Capping: addition of 5'-5' phosphate bonds to the 5' terminus of the mRNA. Forms the cap structure that is essentials for binding to ribosomes via special proteins attached to the cap structure

2. Addition of poly(A) tail: a poly(A) addition signal (AAUAAA) is attached to the 3' terminus of the mRNA. They are important in translation initiation and degradation prevention

3. Splicing: this is likely the most remarkable processing in eukaryotes. It involves the removal of intron regions by excision from the present-mRNA and then ligating the exon regions together giving rise to the mRNA.
