Answer:
A decomposer is found at the end of a food chain.
Answer:
The given statement is true
Explanation:
Ultimately, it is the environment which influences natural selection and thus the evolution of populations. Is it true or false
Solution
It is true that environment influences the natural selection which is mainly governed by the presence of useful resources that can support an individual. Natural selection leads to emergence of useful trait that can help an individual in adopting traits that can make him/her fit thereby causing evolution of species.
Hence, the given statement is true
The second question has the answer of A
The independent assortment of genes is a principle of Mendel and of genetics. Since humans are diploid organisms (they have 2 copies of their genetic information), we have that each gamete carries one of the two available alleles for each feature. These gametes are created in equal proportions.
We have that both parents are heterozygous for a feature, lets say H. Thus, their genotype is Hh. Hence, the child will get with probability 50%=1/2 H from the father and 50%=1/2 h from the father; same from the mother. By doing a Punnett square, we get that there is 1/4 chance that the child is HH, 1/2 chance that it is Hh and 1/4 that is hh. Since the disease is recessive (so both alleles are needed), we have that the chance that the kid has the disease is 1/4.
