Answer:

Polygenic

Explanation:

Mental illnesses are almost always polygenic, meaning they are influenced by many genes.

It is also important to note that most mental illnesses have hereditary components, but to become a disease a combination of multiple environmental factors and mutations in several genes, usually from different chromosomes, must occur.

How is atmospheric nitrogen converted into a biologically useful form of nitrogen?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The atmosphere is the largest reservoir of the nitrogen as it is composed of 78% of Nitrogen. Although 78%, this is not used by the organisms directly as the nitrogen molecule exists in nature in the form of divalent joined via triple bonds.

These triple bonds require a great amount of energy to be broken and used. Only a few prokaryotic organisms called nitrogen-fixing bacteria have the capability to break these triple bonds as they contain enzymes-nitrogenase complex which converts the atmospheric nitrogen to usable forms like ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. About 92% of the atmospheric nitrogen is fixed through this way rest through thunderstorms and Haber's process.

Thus, nitrogen-fixing bacteria is the answer.

To which trophic level do elk belong?
hodyreva [135]


C: primary Consumer

<em>primary consumers</em> are typically animals that eat plants aka herbivores.

<em>producers </em>would be plants

<em>secondary consumers </em>are typically ones that eat meat or eat meat and plants aka omnivores.

 <em>decomposers, </em>I believe are like your fungus or anything that feeds off of dead organisms or eat the waste of that organism.

Hopefully this helped. I  remember learning about this in college.

How does gene flow directly contribute to evolution? I'll mark brainliest
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. It introduces new alleles into a population.

Explanation:

Gebe flow or migration is the transfer of the genetic material or transfer of genes from one population to another population of the same species. Gene flow is also responsible for the genetic change that leads to evolution.

Gene flow can contribute in various ways such as migration or vertical gene transfer parent to progeny, however, it can lead to evolution directly by introducing new alleles into a population.
