Answer:
producers
Explanation:
All the energy comes from the sun. a small amount of sunlight energy is trapped by green plants and used in photosynthesis to form organic materials in plants that are sources of food to the rest of the animals. Animals get this energy when they feed on plants directly like the herbivores or indirectly like the carnivores.
1. Answer: A
Explanation: For a cell to form proteins, the specific types of proteins are coded for by the genes in DNA (found in the chromosomes of the nucleus). To produce proteins, the genes are first transcribed by RNA polymerase to form messenger-RNA. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell.
2. Answer: B
Explanation: Translation of genes into proteins is dependent on the sequence of nucleotides. They are translated in sequences of 3 nucleotides known as codons. Therefore adding a nucleotide on a piece of DNA causes what is referred to as a frame-shift mutation. The 3 sequences (of codons) is interrupted and shifted by one nucleotide. Therefore, the codons change and the amino acids translated will also change.
3. Answer: A
Expanation: Producers are significant in a food chain because they incorporate the energy of the sun into the food chain. This is why they are at the base of the food chain and have the largest biomass. They are consumed by primary consumers which are consumed by secondary consumers which are consumed by tertiary consumers and so on.
4. Answer: D
Explanation: Plants are consumed by herbivores. Therefore, a decrease in plant population due to drought was resulted to decrease in herbivore population. This is due to stiff competition by the herbivores for the scarce plant population. Carnivores consume herbivores. Due to a decrease in the herbivore population, then the carnivore population would also decrease.
5. Answer: A
Explanation: Burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas traps infrared wavelength of lights hence warming up the atmosphere, causing global warming. Reduction in use of fossil fuels will hence alleviate an increase in global temperature hence protect coral in the oceans from bleaching.
Answer: E. Polygenic
Explanation: The color of eyes and hair is due to quantity and accumulation of pigments such melanin. Melanin is synthesize by multiple enzymatic steps and every enzyme is codified by a different gene. That means polygenic inheritance, that several genes are implicated in determined the this trait and its difficult to trace since every gene has a sequence that can vary between families or human groups.
Answer:
The genome is usually organized as a single linear or circular molecule of nucleic acid
