If hunting continues and drastically reduces the deer population, how might this impact the hawk population?

Biology

Well, considering if the deer and the hawk have a direct predator prey relationship, where the deer are the prey, then the hawk population will also drop quite a lot, unless they have some other major food sources, but chances are they'll still drop.

If it's NOT a direct predator prey situation, for example: The deer happen to eat something that the hawks also eat, or the deer are prey for something the hawks eat:
If the deer eat something the hawks eat, by them dropping it means there will be more food supply for the hawks, meaning as the deer population drops, the hawk population will go up.

If the deer are PREY to something the hawk eats, then by there being less deer, then whatever the primary consumer of the deer is will also drop. If the hawk eats that predator, then there will be less of those predators, and less prey, meaning the hawk population will still drop

You were most likely given a food web to look at. Seeing how you didn't post that, I just gave you the only 3 situations that could happen.

<span>The question says,'the orange colour of carrot roots and marigold flowers comes from cell bodies known as chromoplasts. The statement is true. Chromoplasts are coloured plastids, they usually contain a yellow or orange pigment. They can be found in roots, leaves, fruits and ageing leaves and are responsible for the distinctive colours of these plant parts.</span>

The current population of a threatened animal species is 1.6 million, but it is declining with a half-life of 25 years. How many animals will be left in 35 years<u> The decay law i</u>

<u>p(t) = 1,700,000 (1/2)t/25</u>

<u>where t is in years and p(t) is the population at time t.  Plug in 40 and 55 for t.</u>

<h3>What is threatened animal?</h3>

Any species (including those of animals, plants, and fungi) that is likely to become endangered in the near future is considered to be a threatened species. The population dynamics measure of critical depensation, a calculation of biomass related to population growth rate, is occasionally used to identify threatened species. This quantitative indicator is one way to gauge how endangered an area is. When discussing IUCN categories, the terms threatened and vulnerable may be used interchangeably; however, threatened generally refers to the three categories (critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable), whereas vulnerable generally refers to the category that is least at risk among the three. However, since all threatened species are vulnerable species, they can usually be used interchangeably.

A geneticist is studying two traits in the fruit fly - eye color and wing shape. They perform a dihybrid cross. If the genes for
Len [333]

Answer:

3/16

Explanation:

<u>According to Mendel's law of independent assortment of genes, when a dihybrid cross involves two genes that assort independently and one of the parents is dominant for the two genes and the other is recessive, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring at F2 would be 9:3:3:1</u>. The proportion of the offspring with the dominant parental traits would be 9/16, those with the recessive parental traits would be 1/16, while those with mixed traits would be 3/16 each.

Assuming the eye color is represented by E and the wing shape is represented by W. At F2

     EeWw    x    EeWw

E_W_ - 9/16 (dominant for both eye color and wing shape)

E_ww - 3/16 (dominant for eye color and recessive for wing shape)

eeW_ - 3/16 (recessive for eye color and dominant for wing shape)

eeww - 1/16 (recessive for both eye color and wing shape)

<em>Hence, the proportion of the offspring with dominant phenotype for eye color and recessive phenotype for wing shape would be </em><em>3/16.</em>

What does the word “prokaryotic” mean
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells do not contain a distinct nucleus, bounded by a nuclear envelope, in contrast to eukaryotic organisms that do have distinct nuclei. Prokaryotes include both the bacteria and the archaea, which appear to be only distantly related to bacteria.
