When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation.

If the top predator is taken out of the food web, then the animal that the top predator used to eat, will grow in population. As a result, the next animal will decrease in population and it creates an imbalance that affects the whole ecosystem.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

D. It formed from magma that cooled quickly

Explanation:

From several experiments, geologists have come to terms with the fact that when magma cools rapidly, it does not give room for large and big sized crystals to form. Instead, tiny, little crystals would be formed.

For example, obsidian and most volcanic rocks.

When a magma has enough time to cool and solidify, we see very big crystals of minerals in them.

A recessive allele causes phenylketonuria (PKU) when homozygote. If the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.05 in the populat
Radda [10]

Answer:

0.095

Explanation:

Phenylkentonuria is a disease caused by a recessive allele.

The frequency of the recessive allele + the frequency of the dominant allele equals 1.

The frequency of the recessive allele is q = 0.05

The frequency of the dominant allele then is p = 1  - q = 0.95

If people mate randomly, the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype will be p², the frequency of the heterozygous genotype will be 2pq and the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype will be q² .

2pq=2× 0.05 × 0.95

2pq=0.095

The heterozygote frequency in the population is 0.095
