Dafna1 [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

We know that there are 200 guanine bases so there will be 200 cytosine bases also.

According to Chargaff’s base pair rule,

G+A=T+C=600,

A+200+T+200=600 (since total bases are 600)

A+T+400=600

A+T=200

since there is 50% adenine and 50% thymine , A=100, T=100, G=200, C=200

Verification

A+T+G+C=600

100+100+200+200=600

600=600

Which organisms are secondary consumers in a temperate coniferous forest?
Leya [2.2K]

Complete question:

Which organisms are secondary consumers in a temperate coniferous forest? Select all that apply:

  • moose
  • lynx
  • wolf
  • elk

Answer:

The lynx and the wolf are the only secondary consumers on the list.

Explanation:

In the trophic web, the energy transference occurs when each organism feeds on the preceding link and is eaten by the following link.

The first ones are the autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter.

The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. <u>Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores</u>, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.

According to the definition of secondary consumers, among the animals on the list, we can assume that the lynx and the wolf are the only secondary consumers. They are both carnivores and feed on herbivores.

On the other hand, the moose and the elk, are both first consumers.

Aleks [24]
The correct answer is A.
The use of antibacterial drugs can cause modifications in the genetic material of the concerned bacteria. If the genetic material of the bacteria are modify, that means they have undergone mutation. Because the base sequence of the normal and that of the mutated gene is different, antibiotic will not be able to recognize the bacteria again and thus will not be able to attack it.
