The correct answer is D. The population of hawks will decrease. The population of rabbits will increase.

Explanation:

In an energy pyramid or food chain, organisms depend on others; for example, in this case, snakes depend on rabbits, and hawks depend on snakes to obtain nutrients.

In this way, if a disease strikes snakes there would be fewer snakes; this will cause the population of rabbits to increase because more rabbits will survive and reproduce if there are few predators. On the other hand, the population of hawks will decrease because without snakes there will not be enough food for hawks, and this leads to fewer hawks. Thus, in this case, it is expected "The population of hawks will decrease. The population of rabbits will increase".

Genes a and b are 10 map units apart, b and c are 20 map units apart, and a and c are 30 map units apart. If a triple heterozygo
Stells [14]

Answer:

20 ( B )

Explanation:

Given data:

a and b are 10 map units apart

b and c are 20 map units apart

a and c = 30 map units apart

<em>condition </em>; Triple heterozygote testcrossed

number of progeny = 1000

<u>Determine the number of double crossover result </u>

P( crossover between a and b ) = 10/100 = 0.1

P( crossover between b and c ) = 20/100 = 0.2

p( double crossover ) = 0.1 * 0.2 = 0.02

hence number of double crossovers = number of progeny * 0.02

                                                              = 1000 * 0.02 = 20

What drives deep ocean currents?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

B) difference in water density

Explanation:

The deep ocean currents are the cold ocean currents. They appear in the Arctic and Antarctic circles. As the warm ocean currents come from the low latitudes toward the high latitudes, they bring in warmer water on the surface. They start to cool off though as the near the high latitudes, so gradually they become cold ocean currents. As they become cold, the water is sinking below the less dense warmer water that is coming from behind, making a turn in the opposite direction and moving as deep ocean current toward the low latitudes. Once it reaches the low latitudes, this water will get warmer, and it will move toward the high latitudes, and the process constantly continues.
