Answer:

ecological dominants

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of same and different species are usually found. However, some organisms appear too commonly than others in that particular ecosystem. These commonly observed organisms (plants and animals) due to their large numbers are called DOMINANT species. An ecological dominant species is that which numerically outshines its competitors in an ecosystem.

A species may be dominant because it is better adapted to certain processes than Its competitors e.g. getting resources, disease resistance etc. or even deters its competitors. Hence, they appear large in number. This is the case of the abundance of pinyon pine and juniper trees along the desert slope of the sierra nevada mountains in california. In that ecosystem, these two plants dominate, hence, will be referred to as ecological dominants.

Why do vaccines work for some diseases but not others?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The antibodies produced by a vaccine only fight specific antigens.

Antibodies only bind to specific antigen during an immune reaction. The introduction of foreign substance in the body stimulate the B-cells to produce antibodies that fight against infections.

What are some possible consequences of a mutation? Give a specific example for each consequence you list.
Tju [1.3M]
Since all cells in our body contain DNA, there are lots of places for mutations to occur; however, some mutations cannot be passed on to offspring and do not matter for evolution. Somatic mutations<span> occur in non-reproductive cells and won't be passed onto offspring. For example, the golden color on half of this Red Delicious apple was caused by a somatic mutation. Its seeds will not carry the mutation.
</span>

A single germ line mutation can have a range of effects:

<span><span>No change occurs in phenotype.
Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.</span><span>Small change occurs in phenotype.
A single mutation caused this cat's ears to curl backwards slightly.</span><span>Big change occurs in phenotype.
Some really important phenotypic changes, like DDT resistance in insects are sometimes caused by single mutations. A single mutation can also have strong negative effects for the organism. Mutations that cause the death of an organism are called lethals — and it doesn't get more negative than that.</span></span>
