Trophic level: the feeding level of an organism in a food web or chain. Food web: a diagram showing a series of interconnected food chains and the flow of energy through an ecosystem. Food chain: a diagram showing the flow of energy from one trophic level to the next. E.g. Consumer or decomposed Consumer: an organism which feeds on other organisms to obtain its nutritional requirements (part of a food web/chain). Producer: an organism capable of trapping the suns energy and converting it to sugar in the process of photosynthesis. Therefore the term food web is the term used to include all of the above.

Answer:
Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle. Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat.
Answer:
genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
- serrated leaves → dominant trait
- smooth edges → recessive trait
- purple color → dominant trait
- white color → recessive trait
- F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.
There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.
To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent
Answer:
The test statistic for this hypothesis test is - 3.68.
Explanation:
A test statistic is a random variable that is calculated from sample data and used in a hypothesis test. You can use test statistics to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis. The test statistic compares your data with what is expected under the null hypothesis.
Sample proportion = 38/50
= 0.76
Hence,
Test statistic
= 3.68
