Answer:
No, this is not consistent with the principle of independent assortment.
Explanation:
The principle of independent assortment states that alleles from different genes assort independently. This means that if a plant has a genotype Aa Bb, all four alleles (A, a, B, and b) are going to segregate equally, so we will have the following four gametes after meiosis:
- AB
- Ab
- aB
- ab
If the researcher finds that two of the four products are AB, probably there would be a deviation of Mendel's laws.
Answer:
The flow of energy in ecosystems is unidirectional or one-way.
Explanation:
Energy is the ability to do work. Energy flows in one direction in an ecosystem and is not recycled. This is because during the transfer of energy from one level to another, energy is lost. Most of the energy received from the sun by producers, plants, is lost as heat to the surroundings. The rest energy is converted by plants to produce food in the form of chemical energy.
Primary consumers feed on plants and secondary consumers feed on the primary consumers and so on up to quaternary consumers. However, at each level of energy transfer, some energy is lost as heat during respiration, some as unused or undigested materials, while some others are used for each organisms metabolic activities. About 90% of energy in a trophic is used at that trophic level. Therefore, only about 10% as much energy is available to organisms at each successive trophic level. Therefore, energy is not recycled in ecosystems.
Earth's atmosphere maintains its temperature by means of the earth's energy balance. This refers to how incoming from the sun and outgoing energy from the earth are in balance, thereby keeping earth's temperature constant.
Decomposers, are organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and small animals such as ants and worms that eat and decompose dead and waste organic matter and which recycle nutrients back into food chains making them available for plants use. Therefore, decomposers are an essential components of all ecosystems.

Answer: There's no way one species can become another through depuranization, which is a random change.
Explanation:
In cells, environmental (chemical or physical) and metabolic factors can cause DNA damage, which is the molecule that stores genetic material. In these cases, the damage done to the DNA is repaired.
<u>Many of these lesions cause a permanent structural damage to the DNA, which can alter the ability to be transcribed, or can cause mutated genes to be transcribed resulting in another protein.</u> Particularly, depurination is the hydrolytically cleavage of the β-N-glycosidic bond between the purines (adenosine or guanosine) and the carbon of the sugar group found in the DNA. This mutation results in the loss of the purine base and leads to the formation of apurinic site and results and severely disrupts the DNA structure. The most important causes of depurination is the presence of endogenous metabolites inside the cell as a result of various chemical reactions and due to the presence of mutagenic compounds. However, these apurinic sites <u>are usually repaired by portions of the base excision repair (BER) pathway</u>.
There's no way one species can become another through depuranization, which is a random change. Because it is highly unlikely that 5000 mutations are able to accumulate every day without being repaired, and that they are just the right mutations to have the same characteristics as a chimpanzee. <u>If the depurinations are not repaired, the cell will most likely either die or become cancerous.</u>
Answer: hybridisation between related species is unlikely to contribute to adaptive speciation.
Explanation: any population has natural genetic variation. The available resources are insufficient for all plants (and conversely, not all offspring survive). Natural selection favours variations better suited to the conditions.
Although hybridisation is more common in plants than animals, and can lead to speciation, adaptive radiation from an ancestral species is the general response to environmental change, such as from rainforest to savanna. There is low probability of selective advantage from hybridisation of two ancestral species adapted to niches within the original habitat when the conditions in those niches changes significantly.
