If the first trophic level in an energy pyramid receives 1,000 units of energy from the Sun, how much energy is available for th

e third trophic level?

Answer:

10 units

Explanation:

Energy is transferred from organism to organism in an ecosystem when they feed on one another. However, based on the pyramid of energy, only about 10% of energy is transferred from one organism to another because a bulk of energy (about 90%) has been lost to metabolic activities.

Energy moves from producers to consumers, each occupying trophic levels. If the first trophic level in an energy pyramid receives 1,000 units of energy from the sun,

- 10% of 1000units will be available for the second trophic level i.e. 10/100 × 1000 = 100units

- 10% of 100units will be available for the third trophic level i.e. 10/100 × 100 = 10units

Hence, 10units of energy is available for the third trophic level.

Mutations in DNA include deletions and insertions. These types of mutations:
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

(A). Result in different amino acids to be read due to frame shifts

Explanation:

Insertion or deletion mutations (or Indel mutations) can be defined as mutations in DNA due to insertion (addition) or deletion of nucleotide bases in DNA.  

These mutations lead to change in reading frames (sequence of codons), which leads to formation of protein having completely different amino acid sequence. Hence, these mutations are also cause frameshift mutations.

This is due due to triplet nature of genetic codes as insertion or deletion of one or more bases (but not three) would change change in codon sequence and mutated sequence can form a non-functional or truncated protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
