Why are decomposers called nature s recycling trucks?

Biology

serg [7]3 years ago
5 0
When plants and animals die, they become food for decomposers like bacteria, fungi and earthworms. Decomposers or saprotrophs recycle dead plants and animals into chemical nutrients like carbon and nitrogen that are released back into the soil, air and water.

The same rabbit population is seen from year to year because the food supply is greater in the spring, so it can support a large
solniwko [45]

The same rabbit population being constant because the food supply is greater in the spring and supporting a larger number of animals is a false statement.

<h3>What is Population?</h3>

This is defined as the total number of organisms in a particular place at a given period of time.

Factors such as topography, human influence are other factors except food supply which influences rabbit population which is why False is the correct choice.

Imagine that four genes on a single chromosome in a mutant phenotype of Drosophila cross over at half the normal rate as in the
lesantik [10]

We know that frequency of recombination is proportional with the distance between the genes on the chromosome. Therefore when the recombination rate is higher that means the distance between the genes on the chromosome is bigger. If the recombination rate is lower that means the genes are closer to each other on the chromosome. In this case the cross over rate is half the normal rate in the wild-type. That means that on the genetic map the distance between the two genes on the wild type will be twice bigger than the genes of the mutated Drosophila.
