Answer:
A food chain is a representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.
A combination of food chains is termed as a food web.
Example of two food chains in a food web are :
Example No 1:
Plant----- Grasshopper------ Frog---snake--- bacteria
Example No 2:
Plant---- rabbits---- fox---- bacteria
In a food chain, producers are usually plants and algae which are able to make their own food. Consumers feed on the plants. In example no 1, grasshoppers are primary consumers, frogs are secondary consumers, snakes are tertiary consumers.
In example no 2,plants are producers, rabbits are primary consumers and foxed are secondary consumers.
Decomposers are organisms that feed on the dead organisms in a food chain. In both the examples of food chain, bacteria are the decomposers.
These secondary compounds are primarily adaptations that is inhibit herbivory.
Option D is correct.
What is meant by herbivory?
Herbivory may be a form of consumption in which an organism principally eats autotrophs such as plants, algae and photosynthesizing bacteria. More generally, organisms that prey on autotrophs in general are known as primary consumers. Herbivory is typically limited to animals that eat plants
What is the herbivory effect?
Herbivory can affect the expansion form of plants by terminating shoot growth and initiating branching and by affecting shoot-to-root ratios. Changes in survival, productivity, and growth of individual plant species affect vegetation structure and community dynasty.
<h3>Why is herbivory important?</h3>
Herbivory can have substantial impacts on habitat health, the structure and variety of plant and soil invertebrate communities and the productivity of economically important crops. The positive impact of herbivory is widely debated within the scientific literature.

Dominance involves one allele masking another at the same locus whereas epistasis involves one locus masking a different locus.
Explanation:
Epistasis is a type of gene interaction in which one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene at a distinct locus.
Dominance refers to the gene interaction in which one allele of a given gene masks the expression of another alllele of same gene.
The comparison of dominance and epistasis give the following information:
- Dominance involves allelic suppression while epistasis involves non-allelic suppression.
- Dominance involves a single pair of alleles while epistasis involves two pairs of allele.
- In dominance, the expression of recessive allele is suppressed while in epistasis, either recessive or dominant non allele is suppressed.
- The effect of dominance is due to the dominant allele while epistasis may be due to dominant or recessive allele.
