Answer:

C

Explanation:

Cloning reproduces the exact same crops identical to the plant from which the cloning tissue was taken. While this has the capacity to preserve the purity of a breed of plants with desired characteristics, it can also have undesirable effects. Without sexual reproduction, there would be no genetic variability of the crop. This means the plant will hardly adapt to environmental changes and could go extinct if not further genetically engineered.

Elodia [21]

True. The correct option is C.

<h3>Energy transfer in the ecosystem</h3>

Energy is transferred from lower to higher trophic levels of the food chain in any ecosystem.

In other words, energy is transferred when primary consumers feed on producers, when secondary consumers feed on primary consumers, and so on.

However, when energy is transferred through feeding from lower to higher trophic levels, a certain percentage of the energy is lost to the surroundings as heat.

In actual fact, scientists believe that about 90% (and not 30%) of the energy is lost as heat to the surrounding. Only about 10% of the energy is converted to useful energy.
