In a lake with three trophic levels (non-native fish, zooplankton, algae), an algal bloom occurs when the small population of zo

oplankton declines due to the predation of the invasive fish. Which of the following describes why zooplankton are the keystone species in this scenario?
Zooplankton are the smallest of all the herbivorous marine mammals in their communities.
The small population of zooplankton have an unequal effect on the marine community.
Marine mammals depend upon the work of zooplankton to convert sunlight into food.
Zooplankton help other populations survive by keeping out other herbivores.

Answer:

The small population of zooplankton have an unequal effect on the marine community.

Explanation:

According to this question, there are three trophic levels of organism in a lake as follows: non-native fish, zooplankton, and algae. However, due to the declination in the number of zooplanktons in the lake as they were fed on by the non-native fish, the algal population increased to form a BLOOM.

This bloom of algal species can be attributed to the lack of zooplanktons, which represented the only herbivorous (plant eaters) organism in that community. Hence, their relatively small population have an unequal effect on the marine community. This means that the small population of zooplanktons caused an imbalance in the community and this is why ZOOPLANKTON is the keystone species in this scenario.

An alleles is dominant is heterozygote when it is
Fittoniya [83]

An allele is dominant and heterzygote (Pp) when a dominant allele (P) is crossed with a recessive allele (p).

Explanation:

A dominant allele is the one with a particular dominant character or phenotype which dominates even though there are other alleles found.  

A heterozygous allele results from two different alleles coding for a gene.

A heterozygous dominant allele (Pp) results from the crossing of a dominant allele (P) with a recessive allele due to complete masking of the recessive allele (p).

For example, when dominant brown eyes are crossed with recessive blue eyes, in a heterozygous dominant allele results in brown eyes and masks the recessive blue eyes.

This is the first phase of cell division. In ________, the genetic material of the nucleus divides after making a copy of itself
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Prophase is the first stage in mitosis, occurring after the conclusion of the G2 portion of interphase. During prophase, the parent cell chromosomes  which were duplicated during S phase condense and become thousands of times more compact than they were during interphase.

Match each moon or planet to the most accurate characteristic.
Olegator [25]

Each moon or planet matched to the most accurate characteristic;  

1. It contains large amounts of frozen water - C. Europa

2. High levels of carbon dioxide increase the temperature of its atmosphere - B. Venus

3. It does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere - A. Earth's moon

4. Astronomers believe there is a good chance it contains liquid water - D. Mars

Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Others are Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. An outer layer of water, about 100 km (62 mi) thick, covered the surface of Europa. A part of the outer layer (crust) is said to be frozen, while the other part is a liquid ocean below the ice.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the hottest planet in the solar system. The atmosphere of Venus is dense, and it is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (roughly 96.5 percent), which traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect.
