Answer:

A <u>gene</u> is a segment of DNA which codes for a specific trait.

Explanation:

Cellular development, replication, and cell repair are controlled by genetic information stored within DNA molecules. The long-chain, helical macromolecules of these deoxyribonucleic acids, are constructed from complex sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.

Genes, can span several nucleotides and even multiple chromosomes. They are encoded through the processes of transcription, translation to become proteins, that determine physical characteristics or phenotypes.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The fungicide destroys mycorrhizal symbionts.

Explanation:

Mycorrhizal symbionts is the symbiotic association that is present between plants and fungi. Plants provide food materials in the form of sugar to the fungi while fungi fixes phosphorus for the plant that is present in the soil in unavailable form. When fungicide is sprayed, it kills the fungi present in the soil and deficiency of phosphorus occurs in plants.

What happens to predator populations when prey populations are scarce? Why?

GenaCL600 [577]

When prey is abundant, predator populations increase because more young are able to survive. More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other.
