Answer:

Mutation

Explanation:

Mutations can be defined as changes in genetic material, which are the main source of existing genetic variation. For ensuring genetic variability, that is, ensuring that individuals have different DNA, mutations are considered an important point in the evolution of living beings.

It is through mutations that important adaptive characteristics emerge, in addition to essential characteristics remaining in species that are different but that have similarities.

These processes also guarantees the selection of species most adapted species.  Mutations can be beneficial, neutral or harmful (genetic diseases or genetic "failures") and, therefore, are not targeted, occurring at <u>random</u>.

based on the living things in the pyramid, tell me what examples would fit into these categories: primary producers, primary con
algol [13]

Answer:

- Oak trees: primary producers

- Caterpillars: primary consumers

- Blue Jays: secondary consumers

- Hawks: tertiary consumers

Explanation:

A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.
