Biology
1 answer:
lora16 [44]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Biotechnology allows farmers to grow more food on less land using farming practices that are environmentally sustainable. Through biotechnology: Seeds yield more per acre, plants naturally resist specific insect pests and diseases, and farming techniques improve soil conservation.

If the number of photosynthetic organisms on the earth decreased drastically, which would happen as a result?
IgorLugansk [536]
Photosynthetic organisms use the process of photosynthesis to produce their energy. During this process they also take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. If there were less of such organisms, there would be more carbon dioxide  and less oxygen in the atmosphere.

What affects algal growth with increasing depth in the ocean?
andrew-mc [135]
The answer is light.

One of the factors that affect photosynthesis is light. Without light, the photosynthetic rate is reduced or even stopped which consequently affect algal growth. With increasing depth in the ocean, there is less sunlight present. Still, a<span>lgae have accessory photosynthetic plastids other than the chloroplasts</span><span> that can absorb different light in greater ocean depths. This helps them to maximum use sunlight in such conditions. But, in the end, at some particular depth, they would not be able to survive.</span>

Lichens are composed of two organisms, a fungus
algol [13]

Answer:

B) ecological succession

Explanation:

The analogy given in this question describes ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION, which is the series of changes that an ecosystem undergoes over a period of time. Ecological succession is of two types viz: Primary succession and Secondary succession.

Primary succession involves the series of changes that occurs on a new habitat that has never been previously colonized. This is the case of the colonization of bare rocks with no plant life by LICHENS. The action of the lichen, which involves secretion of acids that disintegrates the rocks into soil, paves way for the colonization of that area by new species.

Lichens, via the role they play in primary succession by helping alter a barren area into a fertile one that accommodates other organisms, makes them be regarded as PIONEERS of primary succession.

In a population of cats, the phenotypic frequency of black cats is 91%, and the phenotypic frequency of white cats is 9%. Assumi
Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)

2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)

3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)

4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B)  = 0.91

q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b)  = 0.09

For a population in genetic equilibrium:

p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)

(p + q)^2 = 1

Therefore:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

in which:  

p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)

2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)

q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)

p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281

2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638
