2 eroding of land by wind  

3 plowing land without replanting

4 overusing land

The topsoil is the upper and outermost layer of the soil. It exhibit high amount of organic matter and the microorganisms remain active in the layer. It is composed of mineral particles, water, organic matter and air. It is fertile in nature and can support plant growth.

The erosion of land by wind: The soil erosion can occur due to agents like wind and water. These agents displace the top layer of soil and the components are deposited to other places.

Plowing land without replanting: Plowing is an agricultural practice in which the compact and tight soil is improved by turning up using a tool. It is done before sowing of seeds. Plowing can result in the soil erosion by wind as the loose soil can be easily blown up by wind.

Overusing land: The land can be overused in agricultural practice and mining. These practices can remove the topsoil layer.

Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. one parent has red, axial flowers and theother has white, terminal flowers;
xxTIMURxx [149]
This is a typical case of a dihybrid cross. 
From the phenotype of the offspring, we can conclude that the gene for the red color of the flower and the gene for the axial position of the flower are dominant.
Since we know that the ratio of phenotypes in a dihybrid cross of independently inherited alleles is
9(dominant for both traits)
3(dominant for one trait, recessive for the other)
3(dominant for the second trait, recessive for the other)
1(recessive for both traits)
we can expect 3/16 of the f2 generation to be dominamt for one trait and recessive for the other (red, terminal flowers), or to be precise 190 individuals.

What happens to energy as you move up food chain
geniusboy [140]
As you move up to the food chain, the energy will decrease. This explains  that the more the consumers, the lesser the energy that the last consumer will get from the sunlight. This is because each energy will decrease as it passes by the consumers because each consumers takes a portion of the full energy from the sun.
