The correct answer is T (True)

Explanation:

In ecology, decomposers are organisms such as fungi or bacteria that obtain energy, nutrients, etc. from dead or decaying organisms including plants and animals. Due to this, decomposers play an important role in food chains as they feed on consumers and producers once they die returning nutrients to the soil that can be used by other organism and levels in food chains which preserves the natural balance. Therefore, it is true decomposers consume nonliving organic matter as they feed on dead organisms which are nonliving organic matter.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

For chagarff's rule, it clearly states that DNA from any cell of any organisms be it prokaryotes or eukaryotes should have the basic 1 (purine): 1 (pyrimidine) ratio. Particularly, amount of adenine should be equal to thymine, and guanine equal to cytosine. This is in particular reference to organisms that have double stranded DNA.

aliina [53]

Answer:

Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation? A. Disruptive selection B. Directional selection C. Stabilizing selection

The Answer is option A (Disruptive selection)

Explanation:

Selection can either shift the mean value of a trait, reduce the trait's variation, or increase its variation.

Genetic variation which allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population is a source of phenotypic variation as it refers to differences in all the hereditary information of members of the same species.

Disruptive Selection is important in maintaining variation and initiating speciation as it Increases Variation by favoring alleles corresponding to more extreme phenotypes. But for it to occur, the mean phenotype has to experience the lowest fitness. Disruptive selection affects the frequency distributions of alleles and genotypes within a population.

Disruptive selection is based on the variance of a trait in a population as it increases genetic variance by equalizing the frequencies of existing alleles at polymorphic loci (a genetic loci with two or more alleles). Disruptive selection maintains and may even increase variation in natural populations by favoring extreme phenotypes, individuals with extreme values for a trait have greater reproductive success than individuals with intermediate values.
