Prompt
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Energy in an ecosystem is mainly made by the producers of an ecosystem. The net primary productivity in an ecosystem depends on many factors. Some of them are:

  • Amount of sunlight: The amount of sunlight that the plants and trees might be has basic influence on the primary productivity. Plants and trees receiving enough sun light will be able to make more food for organisms living in that area as compared to the producers which do not receive enough sun light.
  • Soil texture: The soil texture and the availability of nutrients heavily influence the primary productivity of an ecosystem. An area having a soil texture with not enough nutrients will not be able to grow more plants. As a result, the productivity would decrease.

What is unusual about the genetically-inherited mitochondrial disease LHON as compared to the genetically-inherited disease sick
Schach [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.

Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.  

Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.

The phase in the life cycle of a plant that produces spores​
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Plants have two distinct stages in their lifecycle: the gametophyte stage and the sporophyte stage. After reaching maturity, the diploid sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, which in turn divide by mitosis to produce the haploid gametophyte. The new gametophyte produces gametes, and the cycle continues.
