Answer:

Food chains are a pictorial description of an ecosystem: what eats what. This helps scientists track the web of interdependence. If one important component in a chain is removed or affected, we can make predictions about how this might impact the entire ecosystem. We can track the effects of disruptions on a system.

What is biomagnification? anyone up?​
lord [1]

Answer:

The phenomenon through which certain pollutants (harmful chemicals) get accumulated in tissues of organisms at different trophic levels in increasing concentrations along the food chain, is called Biomagnification.

Explanation:

1)Suppose, DDT is being used in a farmland.

2)There's a water body nearby the farmland and the water is contaminated with the DDT(let's say the quantity: 0.003 ppb).

3)Now the aquatic organisms (Zooplankton) which consume this water also consuming the DDT also.(0.04 ppm)

4)Next these Zooplanktons are consumed by small fishes. (0.5 ppm)

5)These small fishes are then consumed by Large fishes. (2 ppm)

6)These Large Fishes are consumed by Humans or Birds afterwards. (25 ppm)

7) So at each step DDT is also getting accumulated and at each successive trophic level the quantity of Accumulated DDT gets magnified as the organisms on higher trophic levels consume more biomass than the previous ones. This is a classical example of Biomagnification.

How can nuclei accommodateall of our genetic material<br> (3,000,000,000 base pairs)?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

By forming chromatin and in the condensed form of chromosomes

Explanation:

The human genome contains around 3 billion base pairs which are located in the nucleus of all cells. In order to accomodate such large genomic information, DNA is maximally supercoiled during mitosis and meiosis processes to form condensed structures called chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes per somatic cell. The supercoiling process is assisted by a family of proteins called histones, which interact with DNA and regulate its conformation. The complex between DNA and histones within the nucleus is called chromatin. When chromatin is supercoiled it form chromosomes (in eukaryotic cells).
