What would most likely happen to this ecosystem if all of the gray wolves were removed?

Biology

Vinil7 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D. The fox population would decrease

Explanation:

The food web shows that the gray wolves population are the only population that prey on the moose population. If the gray wolves were removed, the population of moose would increase significantly and would dominate the ecosystem. This means that other herbivores won't be able to compete with the moose population for the forages and vegetation in the ecosystem. The population of the other primary consumers/herbivores will reduce also. By implication, the fox which depend on other smaller preys to feed on would not have much prey to feed on. The ultimate effect of the removal of the gray wolves would lead to a later decrease in the population of the fox

Alinara [238K]

Answer: Options A, B, C and D are correct.

Explanation: They can trigger the activity of histone acetyltransferases.

These RNAs functions by binding to histone-modifying complexes, to DNA binding proteins (including transcription factors), and even to RNA polymerase II.

They can silence genes by promoting the formation of euchromatin by arranging hetero- or euchromatic regions into close proximity may stabilize these domains or it may control the spreading of post-translational modifications (PTMs) to nearest chromatin.

They are actively involved in X chromosome inactivation.

They can regulate the translation and stability of mRNAs.

In Eukaryotic cells RNA transcription is a closely regulated process. Transcription of a lncRNA may regulate the transcription of nearby mRNA genes, either positively (maintaining active chromatin structure) or negatively (for example, colliding polymerases). In these cases, the RNA product may have no importance at all, or it could have an additional function.
