Answer:

A sequence of different organisms in which one is being eaten by other is called food chain. In a food chain organisms green plants which uses solar energy to prepare their food are called producers. Producers are the source of food for the herbivores or Plant eaters. They are primary consumers and those animals which are carnivores eating herbivores are secondary or tertiary or top consumers depending on the length of a food chain. If producer population decreases then there will be lack of food for herbivores. Therefore herbivore population will decrease in want of food.

It would decrease, because the producers are the source of food for the herbivores

Which area of the human cortex is most different from the brains of other animals?

maxonik [38]

Cerebral cortex is the area of human cortex that is different from the brains of other animals. Cerebral cortex functions is responsible for the thinking and taking in information in order to make a necessary action based on the perception that it receives. Cerebral cortex are divided into 4 lobes with a different function namely; frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital which are converts the sensory information that you receive.<span />

George Monbiot is spearheading the Rewilding Movement. The environmentalist and writer is prominent in the platform. He was featured in TED Talk and talked about a large scale conservation approach aiming to restore the lost habitats. Here is an excerpt of his speech where he discusses the lost megafuna:

"What megafauna, you say? Well, every continent had one, apart from Antarctica. When Trafalgar Square in London was excavated, the river gravels there were found to be stuffed with the bones of hippopotamus, rhinos, elephants, hyenas, lions. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there were lions in Trafalgar Square long before Nelson's Column was built. All these species lived here in the last interglacial period, when temperatures were pretty similar to our own. It's not climate, largely, which has got rid of the world's megafaunas. It's pressure from the human population hunting and destroying their habitats which has done so."

A gene mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that occurs during cell replication (mitosis and meiosis)within a sin

Shalnov [3]

True

Changes in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.

Explanation:

The half-life of mRNA and proteins is short. mRNA has an average of 10 hours of life span while proteins have an average of several days. Therefore mutation in these biomolecules will only persist as long as this mutated mRNA of protein exists. After its life-span, the molecule is degraded and replaced by a non-mutated mRNA or proteins. This is because the piece of DNA that codes for the mRNA and subsequent protein is not mutated. A mutation on DNA is the permanent kind of mutations because DNA is a highly stable molecule that stores information about the cell.
