Answer:

They break down dead organisms and recycle nutrients.  

Explanation:

Saprophytes are the living organisms that feed upon dead organisms such as plants, animals, and their decaying products. They contribute to the food web because they help in clearing up the biological waste from the environment and make the resources after degradation available to the plants as soil nutrients. Therefore, helps in nutrient recycling in an ecosystem.

Actually, Sherman, there are more black moths than white ones because . . .
BlackZzzverrR [31]
They are better adapted to the environment. Their darker color helps them blend in with the tree bark so common in their habitat. Because of that, more are likely to not get eaten by predators than white ones that are so easy to spot without camouflage abilities. The black moths are simply more fit to survive, and more of them will survive in this place.

Which is most likely the result of genetic engineering?
joja [24]

Answer;

an orange that has a prolonged shelf life

Explanation;

-Genetic engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism.

-Examples of genetically engineered (transgenic) organisms currently on the market include plants with resistance to some insects, plants that can tolerate herbicides, and crops with modified oil content.

-Genetic engineering works by physically removing a gene from one organism and inserting it into another, giving it the ability to express the trait encoded by that gene. It is like taking a single recipe out of a cookbook and placing it into another cookbook.
