Given Proposition: The Shark Population has increased. This is assuming that we only base it off of the given food tree, rather than using the food web, which is more factually correct. This means that the sharks in the area can only eat sea otters, and that sea star populations and sea otters can only eat clams.

1) In this case, the shark population increases. This generally means that the sea otter population by itself has increased, suggesting a positive net change within the given food chain. However, with increased shark populations, would mean a damage to the amount of sea otters in the area. This can create an underpopulation of sea otters, which, if sea stars were not a factor, can mean a increase of clam population.

However.

2) Sea stars are a part of the food chain given. Therefore, it can be suggested that while the sea otter population may stabilize and/or diminish, the sea star has no "predator". This means that with the decrease of the sea otter population, the sea star population may actually grow, as the competition for the same source diminishes. Again, with the demand taking over the need, the sea star population may fall once again due to overfeeding, and essentially starvation.

In essence:

Shark Population: Increased

Sea Otter Population: Decreases (is eaten)

Therefore, Clam Population is speculated to increase.

However, the Sea star population would thereby increase due to having more food.

A larger sea star population in which the clam population cannot sustain would collapse, leading to a fall.

Also, due to the smaller amounts of sea otters in the area, the shark population may also see to an decrease of population, as they die from starvation.

The sea otter population would then stabilize when the predatory amounts or less, and their competition collapses.

Of course, there will always be a "food web". Sea otters do not solely rely on clams, neither do sharks solely rely on otters.

If there is an increase in the shark population, then there will be a slight decrease in the other populations.
Explanation:
Based upon the three animals listed, the shark is at the top of the food chain. This means that the shark will eat the sea otter and see star, declaring their population will decrease.

At the end of cytokinesis, how many daughter chromosomes will be found in each cell
trapecia [35]
At the end of cytokinesis there no longer exists chromatids, they are just individual chromosomes.

If you're talking about Meiosis, there are 4 (HAPLOID) daughter cells produced at the end of meiosis. So each daughter cell will have HALF the number of chromosomes as the mother cell.

Whereas at the end of Mitosis there are 2 identical DIPLOID sister cells.

URGENTEE!!! POR FAVOR!!! Quais sao as principais funções citoplasmáticas? Qiferencie conceitualmente as duas principais estrutur
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

A função do citoplasma é fornecer sustentação esquelética para a célula através da estrutura composta por filamentos e túbulos proteicos. Além disso, todo o conjunto de estruturas mergulhadas no citosol apresenta bastante dinamismo, fato que possibilita à célula realizar alguns movimentos.

No citoplasma, ainda há membranas que atuam como verdadeiras usinas intracelulares, que fornecem energia indispensável à manutenção da vida.

Outro fato que você deveria saber sobre o citoplasma é que ele preenche todo o interior das células eucariontes, sendo delimitado pela membrana plasmática. Já nas células procariontes, o citoplasma fica entre a membrana plasmática e o núcleo da célula.
