Answer:

Homologous features

If two or more species share a unique physical feature, such as a complex bone structure or a body plan, they may all have inherited this feature from a common ancestor. Physical features shared due to evolutionary history (a common ancestor) are said to be homologous.

When two organisms share a common ancestor, their genetic code has to be similar. The extent of similarities determines how recently have the organisms evolved.

How do species evolve from a common ancestor?

Repeated branching events, in which new species split off from a common ancestor, produce a multi-level "tree" that links all living organisms. Darwin referred to this process, in which groups of organisms change in their heritable traits over generations, as “descent with modification." Today, we call it evolution.

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.
