If the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits then the snakes would starve and die unless they could move to another habitat. All of the other animals in the food web would also die due to their lack of food supplies. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.
HOPE THIS HELPS! :)
Function and structure are related, because of a certain structure a living thing make contain makes the object function the way it does. ... The relationship of a structure and function is the structuring levels from molecules to organism ensure successful functioning in all living organism and living system.
Answer:
e. Epistatic interaction of the two genes
Explanation:
The 9:7 ratio is typical of the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis.
The expected phenotypic ratiio of the offsrping of a dihybrid cross is:
9 A_B_
3 A_bb
3 aaB_
1 aabb
In the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis, the A_bb, aaB_ and aabb individuals all have the same phenotype, making for the ratio 9:7. What those three genotypes have in common is that in all of them at least one of the two genes is homozygous recessive (either <em>aa</em> or <em>bb</em>).
This usually happens one the products of genes A and B are enzymes of the same metabolic pathway.
Whenever both A and B are present, the pathway can produce the final product and a certain phenotype. However, if any of the dominant alleles is missing, the enzyme is not produced and therefore the final product of pathway is not produced, giving the other phenotype.
