Answer:

Autotrophs are organisms that use light energy or energy stored in chemical compounds to make their own food.

1st order heterotrophs are organisms that eat only plants

2nd order heterotrophs are organisms that eat herbivores

3rd order heterotrophs: organisms that eat herbivores and other carnivores

Top group: carnivores

Explanation:

Producers are named as such because they produce their own food either by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. These organisms are called autotrophs and include plants.

There are various levels of consumers. The first is first order heterotrophs, which feed on the producers. These are herbivores and include, for example, a deer feeding on grass.

The next is second order heterotrophs, which feed on the first order heterotrophs. E.g. an owl eating a mouse. These are carnivores

The next layer are also carnivores, third order heterotrophs which eat second order heterotrophs, for example a lion eating a zebra.

In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers, and the purple and white alleles are represented with P and p, resp
amm1812

Answer: 75% of the plants are purple and 25% are white. The phenotypic ratio can be expressed as 3:1.

Explanation:

Heterozygous means that its genotype has two distinct alleles, i.e. a dominant and a recessive one. So the genotype of the plants is Pp, and each plant has two alleles since<u> they are diploid organisms, which have two copies of each gene. </u>

<u>Each plant produces gametes, which are haploids cells. That is, they only have one copy of each gene (one allele)</u>. So, the gametes produced by Pp have a P or p genotype.  During fertilization, the maternal and paternal gamete are fused to form a diploid zygote where their genotype will have one allele from the father and one from the mother.

By making this monohybrid cross, we cross the gametes of each parent in the punnett square (see picture)

In the offspring, we see one PP genotype (homozygous dominant), two Pp genotypes (heterozygous) and one pp genotype (homozygous recessive). <u>Since we know the P allele is dominant and it codes for purple color, a genotype only needs one P allele to express that phenotype</u>. So Pp and PP organisms are purple, and only pp is white. That means 75% of the plants are purple and 25% are white. The phenotypic ratio can be expressed as 3:1.
