crossing over occurs in prophase 1 of meiosis 1. The significance of this crossing over is to ensure cell differentiation. If this occurred in prophase two it means the cells in meiosis 1 will be identical.
The disappearance of the deer from the forest indicates the EXTINCTION OF THE DEER.
The extinction of the deer from the forest will throw the ecosystem out of balance and has negative impacts on the ecosystem. After all the deer has been eliminated, the elephants too will either have to find another source of food or be wiped out.
When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are:
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.
