Answer:

The shrimp population in a bay

Explanation:

Biotic factors are the living component of an ecosystem. These include the plants and animals that inhabit the area. The rest of the choices are the abiotic factors which describe the non-living component of an ecosystem. Abiotic and biotic factors are interrelated and together help to form an ecosystem and biome.

serious [3.7K]
It is impossible as there is a loss of energy between the transfer of energy between flogs and <span>mosquitoes. This ecosystem would never be sustainable or in equilibrium. There is also no primary producer within this ecosystem. No ecosystem can exist without some initial source of energy that would be obtained using solar or chemical energy. For terrestrial ecosystems, plant primary producers would normally provide the initial energy into the ecosystem.  </span>

How do dominant genes and recessive genes affect taste?
kotegsom [21]

Researchers have identified specific gene variants in the receptors that detect sweetness: TAS1R2 and TAS1R3. There is also high variation in the detection of bitterness. However, the story is more complicated than sweet taste, as we have 25 receptors that detect different bitter molecules

A scientist wants to begin making a DNA fingerprint, but she has only a very small DNA sample. What should her next step be
azamat

For obtaining an adequate amount of DNA samples for DNA fingerprinting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that is used to amplify the DNA sample. The steps included in PCR are:-

1. Denaturation of the double-stranded DNA (at around 95°C)

2. Annealing of the primers to each of the single-stranded DNA templates ( at around 65°C)

3. Extension or elongation of the primers by considering every single-stranded DNA as a template. This elongation is carried out by <em>Taq </em>polymerase (at around 72°C).

With each cycle of PCR, the DNA sample is increased by 2ⁿ. Here, 'n' represents the number of PCR cycles.
